* BlackComedy: When Dr. Hibbert is about to start Bart's surgery, he says that Bart's appendix is inflamed and about to burst...which should make it easy to find once he gets in there!

* EyeCam: When Bart is being put under anaesthesia, his eyes are closing and his point of view is visualized with this eye-shaped cam effect. It's DoubleSubverted as Bart immediately opens his eyes again when Dr. Hibbert asks for a scalpel, since Dr. Nick forgot to give him anaesthetic. Bart's eyes then close for real once the gas starts taking effect, and opens them once the operation is over.

* HumiliationConga: Krusty goes through the wringer in this episode, although he arguably deserves it. He gets sued for sexual harassment, forced to acknowledge it on air with Ms. "No Means No" as a new sidekick, [[DiggingYourselfDeeper immediately tries hitting on her]], tries to blame his harassment on his Percodan addiction before learning that Percodan is one of his new sponsors, sued by Bart for causing his appendicitis, and then trying to prove that the Krusty-O cereal is safe by eating one of the metal "O"s, only for it to shred his insides, after which Sideshow Mel points out that he ate an ordinary Krusty-O.

* CrazyPrepared: Springfield Elementary's school charter states that no teacher is to be held accountable if Bart dies or if Milhouse gets eaten by the school snake. On the other hand, it's implied that Superintendent Chalmers doesn't know about this. Skinner, at least, is going to be in a world of trouble due to Chalmers seeing Bart lying unconscious on the floor and multiple kids having been eaten by the school snake.



* EpicFail: Blind Willie Witherspoon spent 30 years trying and failing to make it as a jazz musician. He gave Murphy what he thought was his saxophone, only to learn he spent all these years trying to play an umbrella.

* OhCrap:
** Krusty reacts this way when he sees that Percodan is one of his show's new sponsors, right after he tried blaming his sexual harassment on his addiction to it.
** Principal Skinner reacts this way when Superintendent Chalmers sees Bart lying unconscious on the floor of the nurse's office and multiple kids having been eaten by the school snake.
** Lionel Hutz briefly reacts this way when he thinks that Bart's going to be angry for only giving him $500 of the $100,000 legal settlement he won, having spent the rest on other lawyers. Fortunately for Hutz, Bart is simply happy at his windfall.

** The first two of these three comes back to bite the school once Chalmers sees Bart unconscious on the nurse's floor ''and'' the pet snake eating ''more'' students. This suggests that Chalmers doesn't know about the school charter's "rule", doesn't consider it binding and is going to put Skinner, at the very least, in a world of trouble.

* EmbarrassingHospitalGown: PlayedWith. Bart is hospitalized after eating a metal Krusty-O and he wears a gown that is closed on the back, with a scene even showing he still had his undies on underneath the gown. But while Lisa talks to Bleeding Gums Murphy, who is staying at the same hospital, Bart shows up in his hospital gown and deliberately invokes this by [[{{Mooning}} lifting the gown up]] and revealing he took off his undies and [[JokeOfTheButt has drawn eyes on his butt cheeks]].
