* JerkassBall: Marge is at her worst here by not only kicking Homer out of the house but ''Bart'' as well. She had already resented Bart in ''Marge Be Not Proud'' and ''Bart the Mother'', but she had reason to in those episodes. Here, she outright sends him outside (into a dangerous town and she knows it) just for petty reasons.

** Homer and Marge’s storyline is arguably worse as, besides taking Maggie to Moe's, he never really did anything wrong. Marge cased an accident by yelling at Homer to listen to the GPS, causing him to get distracted and take a wrong turn, and later got angry at him for not going to her sisters event, when she told him that he didn't have to. This is what caused Bart to call her out. All in all, while the Aesop of the episode seems to want to be men should treat their wives better, in actuality it comes across more like relationships are AllTakeAndNoGive based entirely in the woman’s favor ,and even if the man accepts this, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they will get a happy ending. It also doesn’t help that the episode tries to present the same BrokenAesop as "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS8E6AMilhouseDivided A Milhouse Divided]]", if Mary’s brutal breakup song and the fact that Bart and Homer were lumped in with dads who give their children drugs is anything to go by.

* TakeThat: A rather blatant one against video games, where a game Bart plays explicitly tells anyone over the age of 14 to seek professional help.
