* LiteralMinded: See ComicallyMissingThePoint above. When Lisa argues that she and Bart will grow up to be "robots" without cartoons, Bart asks in excitement "What kind of robots?" Not understanding that his sister meant was they would become humorless [[TheBore bores]] as opposed to being literal cyborgs.

** Marge's crusade agaisnt ''Itchy & Scratchy'' as well as her forbidding the kids from watching it become even more hypocritical once you take into account the fact that she seems to pretty much tolerate most of the antics Homer partakes in throughout the series and also does nothing to keep him from choking Bart in anger.

Added DiffLines:

* AnachronismStew: The "kids playing outside" montage starts out normal enough given the series' TwoDecadesBehind setting -- skateboarding is something Bart himself does -- but it ends with ridiculous things like a ''maypole'' and ''[[Literature/TheAdventuresOfTomSawyer whitewashing a fence]]''. Overall it sends a mixed message, namely that people who yearn for the "good old days" have a distorted view of what it was.
