* LaserGuidedKarma: Homer only got the bucket stuck on his head in the first place after a prank he tried to pull on the dean went wrong. Additionally, he picked all of the flowers from Ned's flowerbed and salted the earth so nothing would ever grow again (for pretty much no reason), so him getting the bucket stuck to his head feels well-deserved.

* DeanBitterman: Downplayed with Dean Peterson, apparently a relative of the laid-back Dean Peterson of the previous episode.

* BaitAndSwitch: Homer goes to see a FakeFaithHealer because his head is stuck in a bucket.
--> '''Homer:''' Cure me! Cure me!
--> '''Healer:''' Brother, I sense you are feeling trapped and desperate.
--> '''Homer:''' Yeah. And I got a bucket on my head.



* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: After getting his head stuck in a bucket, Homer asks Bart to [[TooDumbToLive use a drill to carve holes in it]] in order to see through. When Bart, as expected, pierces through his head with the drill, what was Homer's response? "...Too far."



* MistakenForSuperpowered: Bart becomes convinced that he has HealingHands after removing a bucket that had been glued to Homer's head. Despite Lisa's protests that this was a simple result of the glue expiring, the boy sets up a church and promotes himself as a faith healer. One of his actions is to "cure" his best friend's myopia, which leads to Milhouse throwing away his glasses, mistakenly walking in the path of a car and getting seriously injured as a result. This horrific incident immediately causes Bart to retire.

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Seeing Milhouse getting hit by a car after [[BlindMistake confusing it with a dog]] prompts Bart to quit his run as a FakeFaithHealer. [[MandatoryUnretirement This wouldn't last long]], as Homer would demand him back in business to heal a football player he ran over and whom TheMafia paid good money for, despite Bart's objections and hesitance.

Hibbert gives his trademark laugh afterwards.
