Line #1 Recap/TheSimpsonsS21E6PranksAndGreens


1	Bart finds out that he's not the greatest prankster of Springfield Elementary School and that the former prankster (Andy Hamilton) is a late-teenage slacker. Meanwhile, Marge is chastised by her fellow moms over not serving healthy snacks.
2	----
3	!!"Pranks and Greens" contains examples of:
4	* BasementDweller: Andy lives with his mother when Bart finds him.
5	* BlindIdiotTranslation: When Milhouse's line about wondering what Andy's sidekick is like was translated for Brazilian viewers, it was changed to make it sound like he's wondering how Andy kicks.
6	* ChalkOutline: There's a picture of one next to a headline that reads "Nerd Stands Up to Bully".
7	* CoincidentalBroadcast: Skinner is watching TV when Bart mentions his DarkAndTroubledPast FreudianExcuse.
8	-->Watch the Krusty Show, they tell me. You'll forget all your troubles, they tell me.
9	* ConvenientPhotograph: Following a mysterious two-week gap in school newspaper installments, a photograph appears showing Skinner, previously a CoolTeacher, as the strict guy we know today (seated ramrod-straight by a desk plaque that reads "SIT QUIETLY"). In the background, Willie is visible filling in the school's old swimming pool, tipping Bart and Lisa off to the fact that he might know about the prank that changed Skinner forever.
10	* CoolTeacher: Skinner used to be this and was completely transformed by a traumatic prank from Andy.
11	* TheChainOfHarm: Andy's worm prank kicked off one, turning Skinner into an ApatheticTeacher who did nothing to help Bart when he was struggling his first days of school leading to Bart becoming ThePrankster, who in turn tuned Edna into an ApatheticTeacher. This goes completely over Bart's head who admires the prank.
12	* DetachableDoorknob: Bart and Milhouse go to the house of a former Springfield Elementary School prankster named Andy. Bart grabs the doorknob only to realize that it was super glued and came off the door.
13	* DisproportionateRetribution: The other mothers have no tolerance for even slightly unhealthy snacks, and will take their children to hospital for eating them. In the second case, they even ''flag down an ambulance and kick a patient out'' because of their overprotectiveness.
14	* JerkassBall: Even after Andy gets a job, Lisa still calls him a loser just because he became a comedy show writer.
15	* OffscreenTeleportation: In one scene, Principal Skinner is at the parking lot seeing his car's motor being floated away. While Bart is at the school's roof laughing at that prank, Skinner suddenly appears behind him.
16	* OhNoNotAgain: When Bart learns Andy ordered prank-grade worms for the Krusty Show, he's afraid Krusty'll become embittered like it happened to Principal Skinner but it turns out the worms are for a joke where Krusty says he wanted "warm" water instead of "worm" water.
17	* RunawayBride: Inverted. Due to one of Andy's pranks, a bride does not show up at her wedding. Not because she got cold feet but because her plane was rerouted to Nairobi, stranding her there!
18	--> '''Andy:''' And, of course, the "fake heart attack on an international flight". They had to land the plane in Nairobi!
19	--> ''[a photograph of the incident shows an [[DeathGlare irritated]] young woman wearing a bridal gown.]''
20	--> '''Andy:''' [[NoSympathy Some chick missed her own wedding!]]
21	* SkewedPriorities: For the mothers, their children's health after eating food that's only 99% healthy is more important than saving the life of the person they kicked out of an ambulance.
22	* VictimizedBystander: One of Andy's pranks causes a young woman to miss her own wedding when the plane she was a passenger on is rerouted elsewhere due to Andy faking a heart attack in mid-flight. Andy finds this especially amusing.
