* OutOfCharacterAlert: Simon, who is acting as Bart, lives with the Simpsons. He speaks in a much more dignified and refined manner, uses words that the real Bart wouldn't know, and pays attention to Grampa's rambling stories. The last of which is what leads Lisa to confront him.

* AesopAmnesia: Interestingly, {{Averted}}. Despite complaining that he wants a different family, Bart, who already learned the classic LonelyAtTheTop aesop back in "Burns' Heir," doesn't ''really'' want to ditch the rest of the Simpsons to live Simon's life at first. He agrees to pull the PrinceAndPauper switch when he realizes it will get him out of being punished by Homer for ruining Lenny's party. His new lesson is to always ask [[DidntThinkThisThrough what the]] ''[[DidntThinkThisThrough other]]'' [[DidntThinkThisThrough person is getting out of the deal]]. (While he probably ''should'' have learned to take a punishment rather than lean into an elaborate ruse to get out of it back in "Pranksta Rap," in that episode he was a KarmaHoudini and learned nothing.)
