* AllBikersAreHellsAngels: Homer tries cultivating this image when he wins his motorcycle by forming his own motorcycle club called the Hell's Satans. He...doesn't exactly succeed, considering the worst thing they do is loiter around the Kwik-E-Mart until Apu chases them away with a broom. To say nothing about the rest of the "gang's" less-than-stellar rides.[[note]]To wit, Moe drives [[TheAllegedCar an old beat-up motorcycle that's falling apart]], Carl uses a moped, Ned rides a regular bicycle, and Lenny uses a lawnmower that can barely keep up with the rest.[[/note]] The original Hell's Satans led by Meathook play this much more straight, being a real gang of dangerous troublemakers.



* HeroesGoneFishing: Ned has a new bumper pool table in his rumpus room. When he brings this up in front of Homer, Moe, Lenny and Carl when he wants to join the gang, they are very interested and allow him to, using the rumpus room as their lair. A game is underway as the first meeting is held in the next scene.

* RuleAbidingRebel: Homer may have intended the Hell's Satans to be a gang of street toughs, and the Springfield locals seem to regard them as such, but this is really all they amount to. The worst they do is taunt Wiggum and hang around the Kwik-E-Mart, but they otherwise commit no crimes and drive at the speed limit.
