History Recap / TheSimpsonsS10E6DohInTheWind

* BaitAndSwitch: Homer is shot by the police in the climax; [[https://frinkiac.com/video/S10E06/6TIMRnMpCQebj7c6JDojp5awes4=.gif the next shot is of the cemetery ... followed quickly by a pan right to the hospital, where Homer is being treated for being shot in the head with the flower he put in one of the cop's guns.]]

* ChekhovsGun: Homer plays with an old frisbee as part of his hippie shtick. He tosses it into the air in celebration when Seth and Munchie humor him by going on an "old-time freak-out" with him. While they're out, it somehow gets into their factory and jams up the juicing mechanism.

** When Seth and Munchie say that Mona Simpson was "a demon in the sack" Abe obliviously confirms it thinking they only must have heard that about her.

* ComicBookTime: The 1992 episode "Itchy & Scratchy: The Movie" showed a young Homer listening to music instead of paying attention to the moon landing, while this episode shows an even younger Homer attending Woodstock, which took place a few weeks later.

* ExtremeDoormat: Implied by Skinner's response to the hippie's proclamation of "this conformity factory [Springfield Elementary, as] ''closed''."

--> '''Past Homer:''' How could you let me turn into ''you?''
--> '''Present Homer:''' Bu-bu-but the poncho...
--> '''Past Homer (mockingly):''' "Bu-bu-but the poncho." Hit the road, square.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Munchie calls out Homer for his hypocrisy when he berates him and Seth for having jobs.
--> '''Homer:''' You guys are total sellouts!\\

'''Hibbert:''' ''(Laughing)'' I'm a doctor, not a gardener!\\

* IAmAHumanitarian: Implied with Mr. Burns who refuses Smithers' offer to send out for some Chinese because "those people are all gristle."
* InsaneTrollLogic: When Bart suggests to Homer the idea of making up a middle name for his actor form, Homer refuses and says that he would never lie twice on the same form (after he already made up a fake film credit.) When Marge responds that Homer made dozens of lies on their mortgage application, he claims that each lie formed part of "a single ball of lies."

* MysteriousMiddleInitial: Until this episode, the viewers didn't know what the "J" in Homer J. Simpson was for.[[note]]It was originally a ShoutOut to [[WesternAnimation/RockyAndBullwinkle Bullwinkle J. Moose and Rocket J. Squirrel]].[[/note]] It was a mystery even for Homer. Actually, his father didn't know either.

** While stoned, Grandpa Simpson and Jasper laugh like WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButtHead.

** When Homer sings "Uptown Girl" during the credits, he replaces the last line with "I buried Flanders", a reference to how the "Paul Is Dead" urban legend/conspiracy theory, which claims that Music/PaulMcCartney of Music/TheBeatles died in 1966 and was replaced by a lookalike, has among their "clues" that Music/JohnLennon says "I buried Paul" in the final section of "Strawberry Fields Forever." (Lennon said that the words were actually "Cranberry sauce".)

* TakeThat: Marge claims that the power plant recruitment film, filled with BadBadActing & StylisticSuck, was still better than [[Music/BarbraStreisand Barbra Streisand's]] latest movie.
* TotallyRadical: Homer's hippie slang, which he learns in part from an old tape featuring Creator/BobHope and Phyllis Diller.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: While embracing the hippie lifestyle, Homer stops wearing shoes, to the point that the soles of his feet have visibly blackened, which he attributes to "walking through pretty much anything."

* ComicallyMissingThePoint: When Seth and Munchie announced that their inability to supply the ordered amount of juice was caused by an "oaf", Homer is glad that they decided to blame it on "an oaf" but that he still feels guilty.

* {{Flashback}}: To 1969, where Abe and Homer went to UsefulNotes/Woodstock.

'''Production code:''' AABF02

* FutureMeScaresMe: ''Even the painting of Past Homer'' isn't too pleased with Present Homer:

* ComicBookTime: "Itchy & Scratchy: The Movie" showed a young Homer listening to music instead of paying attention to the moon landing, while this episode shows an even younger Homer attending Woodstock, which took place a few weeks later.

* AbusiveParents: Abe, of course. He basically said that it was Mona's job to name and love Homer while he was only in it for the spanking. In the flashback at Woodstock, he not only was prepared to spank Homer for dancing naked but [[UpToEleven look for a recruitment booth to send him off to]] [[UsefulNotes/TheVietnamWar Vietnam]] despite him being no older than maybe ten.

** As he gets stoned, Ned sees Music/TheGratefulDead's dancing bears and skeletons, the Music/PinkFloyd [[Music/TheWall marching hammers]], followed by Music/TheRollingStones' lips and tongue saying "Pucker up, Ned!"

* ArtisticLicenseHistory: Abe is shown booing Music/JimiHendrix while waiting for Music/ShaNaNa to perform. In reality, Hendrix performed far after Sha Na Na did, as he was the headliner. [[UnreliableNarrator But this being Abe...]]

** As he gets stoned, Ned sees Music/TheGratefulDead's dancing bears and skeletons, the Music/PinkFloyd [[Music/TheWall marching hammers]], followed by Music/TheRollingStones' lips saying "Pucker up, Ned!"
