* UngratefulBastard: Number Six is the one man that Homer talks to on the Island that isn't a psychotic conspiracy member, and he shows his escape raft to Homer with full intent for them to team up and escape. Homer steals the raft while Number Six isn't looking, halfway through that particular part of the speech.

* GildedCage: "The Island" is a pretty comfortable place to live (or at least only the Simpsons believe that) as long as you don't mind the constant random druggings. Or other psychedelia. Or being hunted down by the conspiracy if you manage to escape.
* HoldingBackThePhlebotinum: It is this or because they knew too much about the conspiracy that is the reason the numbered people were taken to The Island. Number 6 is there because he invented a bottomless peanut bag and one other number is there because she invented a method to create better fuels out of water.

* ComplexityAddiction: When Number 2 explains his organization's version of the flu vaccination conspiracy (with details like mind-controlling people into going in a shopping frenzy at Christmas, hence why they do shots at that time, and it's implied that it's just one step of whatever is the full plan), Homer points out that it's a needlessly complicated scheme.

He then asks a bedridden, sickly Rod and Todd if they're happy he didn't get them vaccinated. The two shiver and agree, and then Todd says, [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS11E14AloneAgainNaturaDiddily "Mommy?"]] On the commentary, the writers wondered if they went too far with that gag.
