* BlindWithoutEm: Bart takes Milhouse's glasses to use as makeshift binoculars, after which Milhouse mistakes a horseshoe crab for a dog.



* DidntThinkThisThrough: The beach kids decorate the family car for Lisa as a sign that they still view her as a friend, but fail to note that ''Homer'' would react differently to what they've done. Marge also notes it would've been sensible to make sure the shells they used were clean first.

* NegativeContinuity: Lisa talks about Erin being her first real friend, despite previously befriending both [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS4E15ILoveLisa Ralph]] and [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS6E2LisasRival Allison]] in their respective episodes. This is even more glaring given the latter can be seen handling the yearbooks with her.

Character reactions don't qualify for this trope anymore.


** Bart and Lisa both assume that finding out Lisa's a nerd at home will immediately kill her social standing with the cool crowd she's hanging out with, with Lisa even taking it for granted that they'll treat her to the kind of bullying she gets at school. In fact, they couldn't care less, because they've had fun hanging out with her up to this point and don't see it making a difference.

Plot Hole is now definition-only.


* PlotHole: The entire meat of the episode is Lisa being upset that she has no friends. Even ignoring that she plays with other kids (like Janey) in plenty of other episodes, the other yearbook staff from the very beginning of ''this'' episode are clearly very friendly with her. Her lack of yearbook signings from ''anybody'' being the symbol of her friendlessness makes this slightly [[JustifiedTrope justified]].

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Lisa may have been restrained, but she got absolutely ''vicious'' with Bart the day after he showed her new friends her yearbook. When he smugly apologises in a backhanded way the next morning, she yanks him by his shirt, hisses at him over what he'd done, and was prepared to do something horrible to him with a bottle of honey before Marge comes back in the room.

** Marge's motherly advice to Lisa about her lack of friends. Lisa tries the opposite, and makes herself into some beatnik. However, her intellectual nature still shines through, but her beach friends actually appreciate Lisa's lessons on nature and [[TooDumbToLive why you can't drink seawater]].

* FunnyBackgroundEvent: As Lisa and her new friends are talking, Erin says her mom would by this point show up trying to give them rice squares and lemonade, as Marge enters doing exactly that, only to immediately turn around and leave without them ever noticing.



* IJustWantToHaveFriends: This episode focuses on Lisa's isolation from the rest of her classmates, sparking her voyage to remake herself.
** Reconstructed with Bart, who already is popular in their home ground, but is left disgruntled when he can't impress Lisa's friends and is stuck with Milhouse throughout the vacation (Lisa had expected he'd try to steal them from her and convinced them he was an annoying dork).

* KickTheDog:
** Apparently no-one in Springfield Elementary signs Lisa's yearbook, including the other members of the yearbook committee.
** Bart steals from Rod's piggybank, despite the hand-written note ''pleading'' Bart not to do so.



* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Lisa, quietly but furiously, blows up at Bart for (apparently) sabotaging her relationship with her friends.
-->'''Bart:''' ''[Snidely]'' Hey, Lise. I guess my little yearbook stunt ''was'' pretty rough, but it did teach you a lesson. It's ''important'' to be yourself.\\

While she and Marge go shopping for clothes, Homer decides to make impromptu trunks with the welcome mat and duct tape. He immediately gets in trouble with the police for indecent exposure.

* TakeThat: Marge's tone when she mentions ''Newsweek'' dubbed Springfield "America's crud bucket" shows she doesn't think highly of their opinion.



* TranquilFury: During the confrontation with Bart under ShutUpHannibal, Lisa never raises her voice above a quiet hiss -- but that quiet hiss leaves no room for doubt about how utterly, unprecedentedly, volcanically '''''pissed''''' she is at Bart. What makes this better is that while she's hissing, she has a honey bottle positioned over his head and is about to squeeze honey onto his face. When Marge enters the room, Lisa puts the bottle down, releases Bart, and goes back to quietly eating, all within roughly half a second, leaving Bart visibly unnerved.
