* EvilCounterpart: Cooder and Spud have a lot in common with Homer and Bart in terms of personality and dynamic, down to Cooder also cooling his son "boy".



* FauxAffablyEvil: Cooder and Spud come off as generally friendly despite being obvious crooks and con artists. That is, until they see the opportunity to steal the Simpsons' house and kick the family which helped them out onto the street, and mockingly laugh when Homer protests. Downplayed however at the end, where [[GracefulLoser Cooder]] displays genuine respect towards Homer for beating him at his own game.



* IgnoredAesop: Despite being screwed over when they tried to help them the first time, Homer ''still'' suggests letting Cooder and Spud inside the house out of pity. [[WeAreNotGoingThroughThatAgain The rest of the family immediately shoot that idea down.]]



* KillItWithFire: Homer, Bart, and Lisa are in favor of setting fire to the house to get Spud and Cooder out, even if it means killing Spud and Cooder. Marge refuses.
