History Recap / TheSimpsonsS5E8BoyScoutzNTheHood

* TheMillstone: Homer. He lost the map, used the drinking water to wash his socks, destroyed the rescue helicopter with a flare gun, his Swiss army knife burns a hole in the raft and all while insisting he knows what he's doing. He eventually redeems himself by using his [[TheNoseKnows amazing sense of smell]] to steer the raft to an oil rig with a Krusty Burger on it.

--> '''Bart:''' [sigh] They could have made this clearer.

* IncompetenceInc: Krusty builds a series of Krusty Burger restaurants on ''unmanned'' oil rigs. This is pretty much the Krusty Corporation's MO, mind you.

** The scene where Hans Moleman draws out a knife and says: "You call that a knife, THIS is a knife" is a parody of a famous scene in ''Film/CrocodileDundee''. The (nearly) blind man having a cane sword is a reference to {{Franchise/Zatoichi}}.

* MindScrew: Overlapping with BreakingTheFourthWall. When Bart and Lisa watch an Itchy and Scratchy cartoon, Bart complains about Itchy tying Scratchy's tongue with a sheet bend rather than a taunt-line hitch, to which Lisa replies cartoons don't have to be 100% realistic. Cue ''a second Homer'' walking past the window.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Subverted-Homer's antics get him, Bart, and the Flanderses separated from the rest of the rafts and drifting out to sea...but they also end up eventually finding a Krusty Burger on an offshore oil rig, where they're able to get food and be rescued. The rest of the campers, on the other hand, end up getting lost, stalked and seemingly killed in scenes that are {{Shout Out}}s to ''Film/{{Deliverance}}'' and ''Franchise/FridayThe13th''.

* BearsAreBadNews: The other Campers group is attacked by a bear. Borgnine's attempt to save the day with his Swiss Army Knife is subverted because Homer stole it to give to Bart.

* NeverMyFault: While stranded at sea, Homer laments, "Why couldn't I be on one of the smart rafts?" Keep in my that it was Homer's irresponsibility that got them into this mess.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: As the Flanders and Simpsons' boat drifts away from the mainland, Homer suggests they stop paddling and let the current take them back to land. They end up in the open sea.

* PoliceAreUseless: Chief Wiggum believes that Bart and Homer must be missing for at least a week before the police searches for them, and considers his checkers game against a dog more important. When the police finally attempt a search, it is delayed because Wiggum is concerned that their supply of cold cuts and beer is understocked.

* HeroicDolphin: Lampshaded and subverted. A trio of dolphins come across the Flanders and Simpsons' boat and Ned becomes relieved as dolphins always rescue people lost at sea. The dolphins instead mock them that they're going to die and leave.

** Homer misremembers ''The Rime of the Modern Man'' when he argues against Ned's water rationing.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: What happened to the other parents that were going on the raft tour? [[FridgeHorror Probably they were killed]] by the hillbillies.

* HeroicBSOD: Flanders slips into one of these after the dolphins won't help, but Homer quickly slaps him out of it (and then some).
