6
7	!!Tropes:
8	* AccidentalHero: Bart became one when he initially was toying around with multiple fire extinguishers to propel a kiddy wagon. Ironically, he stole the extinguishers around the same time the city was on fire.
9	* AccidentalTruth: As it turns out, Lisa has some actual Native American ancestry on Homer's side. She is not, however, part of the "[[LineOfSightName Hitachi tribe]]."
10	* AsideGlance: Smithers gets caught on fire and tries to get Mr. Burns to help, alerting him to the situation by shouting "I'm [[HaveAGayOldTime flaming!]]" Burns then shatters the fourth wall by turning towards the camera with a look that just screams "Tell me something I don't know."
11	* BaitAndSwitch: When a fire spread around Cletus's barn, it looked like it would go out of control...but then his cow puts it out. But then, Cletus was shocked by the sight he had seen that his corn pipe fell out of his mouth and started another fire.
12	* CallBack: North Haverbrook, the town [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS4E12MargeVsTheMonorail that was devastated by the unnecessary monorail]] is the one Bart visits. It apparently made a remarkable recovery.
13	* ChickMagnet: Bart attracted a ''fifteen year old girl''. {{Subverted\|Trope}} because she's just looking for someone to be the father of the child she's expecting.
14	* CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot: As Homer suggests and Lisa angrily agrees, Homer should have told Lisa they ''do'' have a Native American heritage.
15	* FamilyRelationshipSwitcheroo: How Darcy's parents plan to explain the existence of her baby, making him pass for theirs. In fact, the mother is herself pregnant, and she plans to tell everyone that the two babies are twins.
16	* FlockOfWolves: When, at a cultural event, Lisa publicly confesses that she does not have any Native American blood, it turns out most, if not all, of the supposed "Native Americans" in attendance were pulling similar bluffs. For added irony, it turns out Lisa's deception was an AccidentalTruth, making her the most legitimate person there aside from the emcee.
17	* GiveTheBabyAFather: Bart agrees to marry the teenage pregnant girl so her baby will have a father.
18	* ImagineSpot: When Mayor Quimby offered Bart a wish as a reward for his accidental heroism, he imagined a few potential wishes.
19	** An IV that connected to a Squishee machine.
20	** Various people (Homer, Principal Skinner) lining up to kiss his butt.
21	** Finally, he decides on a driver's license.
22	** Later, Bart has this, visualizing himself as he skateboards through [[SceneryPorn Utah and its scenic areas]] [[spoiler: before coming home to a log cabin, where Darcy is cooking, holding her first-born child and pregnant with another before they kiss]].
23	* InkSuitActor: Darcy has a mole on her left cheek like her voice actress [[Creator/NataliePortman Natalie Portman]].
24	* KidsDrivingCars: As a reward for putting out the fires, Bart chooses getting a driver's license. which he uses to cruise around in Homer's car.
25	* LineOfSightAlias: Lisa's fake tribe is named "Hitachi" after the microwave in the kitchen.
26	* LiteralAssKissing: One of the wishes Bart considers (before settling on a driver's license) is to have people line up and kiss his butt.
27	* MissConception: Bart believes he got a girl pregnant just by ''kissing and holding hands.''
28	-->'''Darcy:''' Wow, you really are ten. I thought you were just kind of stupid.\
29	'''Bart:''' I'm ten ''and'' stupid.
30	* MissingStepsPlan: Throwing balls over the prison wall to cause confusion and chaos, there is the missing reason why Homer would want that.
31	* NoodleIncident: A lot of reason why Homer calls Bart are this, once about him being stuck in the trunk of the car by bad people.
32	* OpeningShoutOut: After Bart manages to get a legal driver's license, we get a version of the intro sequence where he writes "SoLongSuckers" on the chalkboard, drives the car out of the school instead of riding his skateboard and [[DrivesLikeCrazy hits the pedestrians standing on the sidewalk on his way back]].
33	* PingPongNaivete: Homer gave Bart TheTalk two seasons ago, but it seems Bart forgot.
34	* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Bart immediately tries to drive off when Darcy tells him she's pregnant, only for the car not to turn over.
35	* ShameIfSomethingHappened: After he gets fed up with Lisa [[BackseatDriver constantly criticising his driving]], Bart [[TranquilFury calmly]] threatens to expose her for lying about her Indian heritage. [[KnowWhenToFoldEm Lisa quickly backs down]].
36	-->'''Lisa:''' Slow down! You're too close to that car! Your hands should be at ten and two, not three and nothing!\
37	'''Bart:''' You know, it'd be a real shame if someone started investigating your Indian heritage!\
38	'''Lisa:''' ''[meekly]'' I'll be good.
39	* ShoutOut:
40	** When Bart asked for a license, Mayor Quimby asked if it was [[Film/JamesBond to kill]]. Also his ImagineSpot of several citizens in line to kiss his butt had Franchise/HarryPotter in the line.
41	** The dinner scene in ''WesternAnimation/LadyAndTheTramp'' was spoofed, with the SpaghettiKiss having a twist in that instead of Bart, Darcy ends up kissing a dog that looks just like the Tramp himself.
42	** Burns' reaction to Smithers being in flames mirrors the characteristic pose of famed comedian Jack Benny. Incidentally, both characters' VA, Harry Shearer, started out on Benny's radio show back in the 1950s.
43	** One of the pictures at the entrance of the multicultural meeting is ''[[Franchise/StarWars Darth Vader's helmet]]''.
44	* SimilarItemConfusion: Homer calls Bart to ask the difference between ketchup and catsup. [[SeriousBusiness He's being held hostage and will have his head cut off if he doesn't know.]]
45	* SmokingHotSex: After kissing and holding hands with Darcy at the drive-in movie, Bart is seen [[{{Parodied}} enjoying a lollipop]]. [[{{Foreshadowing}} As it turns out]], [[MissConception he has no idea they didn't go all the way]].
46	* SpecialGuest: [[Creator/NataliePortman Natalie Portman]] as Darcy.
47	* TakeThat: When Groundskeeper Willie tries to stop the school fire with wet napkins, he says they're drier than a Creator/CharlesGrodin quip.
48	* TeenPregnancy: Darcy
49	* TotemPoleTrench: A Native American known as [[MeaningfulName Fibbin' Bear]] is a pair of midgets pulling this trick.
