* StrawmanHasAPoint: The point of Lisa's plot in the episode is that she buys gifts for Homer and Bart that are better-suited to her own interests: seed packets for Homer and a copy of ''Literature/TreasureIsland'' for Bart. This pretty much only works if you view the episode [[NegativeContinuity in isolation]] and don't account for the kind of HiddenDepths they've shown on plenty of occasions, particularly Bart, who's enjoyed quite a few classic books.

* DesignatedVillain: In order to make money Marge turns the Simpson house into a bed-and-breakfast by inviting a number of people that she had no way of accommodating and promising them things that she had no way (and no intention) of providing. Yet the tenants are the ones shown in the wrong for complaining that Marge essentially conned them out of a lot of money. At least she has the decency to apologize in the end.
