History Recap / TheSimpsonsS25E7YellowSubterfuge

* SayMyName: Skinner's LeitMotif, which borrows from the main theme of ''Film/{{Django}'', has the chorus shouting out "SKIN-NEEER!"

* BrilliantButLazy: An interesting case as we see that when Bart 'isn't' being lazy or troublemaking, he's capable of legitimately earning A+ grades without cheating.

* PapaWolf: Homer initially doesn't believes that Bart is capable of being good, but the moment he sees Skinner screwed him over even after Bart did his absolute damnedest to be in his good graces (even tearfully begging him to allow him into the sub) he tells Bart that they are going to seek revenge together.

* RunningGag: After Skinner imagines being a cowboy at the beginning, he continues to get Old West-styled imagine spots and a ''Film/{{Django}}''-like {{LeitMotif}} throughout the episode.

* MyBelovedSmother: Skinner accepts the fact he killed his mother and doesn't remembers doing it by admiring he had subconscious desires to do it ''for real''. Agnes not only swears that she will be even more militant with her nagging from now on (even stopping to take the pills "that make her act nice"), but the episode-long RunningGag of Skinner imagining he's a cowboy [[RunningGagged well and truly ends]] with the imaginary Skinner being incarcerated in a whorehouse full of nothing but copies of Agnes. The singing even lampshades that things just got ''weird.''

-->'''Homer''': What weaknesses does he [Skinner] has?\
'''Bart''': Everything!\

* KickTheDog: After Skinner takes Bart off the list because he accidentally tracked mud even if he was a model student otherwise (not that it mattered, he was kicking everybody out of it for the flimsiest of reasons anycase) he makes Bart wash his car and do other odd jobs thinking that this will put him back on the list if he accomplished them. It doesn't, and Skinner tells him so the split second before he closes the hatch and tells the sub captain to dive.

* TookALevelInJerkass: Skinner is ''way'' stricter than usual and thinks he's in the right for what he does in this episode. Bart, Homer and Agnes set him straight, thanksfully.

* LaserGuidedKarma: Despite how Bart's prank was quite extreme, you can't help but feel that he deserved it for acting like a JerkAss when Bart was ''actually'' trying to be nicer and better at school (even if it was on a condition).

!!Tropes of this episode: (([[YMMV/TheSimpsonsS25E7YellowSubterfuge YMMV Here]]))

* ContinuityNod: During the submarine video you see the words [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS12E14NewKidsOnTheBlecch Yvan Eht Nioj]]
* DisproportionateRetribution: Convincing Skinner he [[AccidentalMurder killed his mom, Agnes]], and getting him out of Springfield, all because he refused to accept Bart on the submarine trip despite his “good” behavior. Agnes was in on the hoax.

* ShoutOut: The woman in space is from the movie {{Film/Gravity}}

* DisproportionateRetribution: Convincing Skinner he [[AccidentalMurder killed his mom, Agnes]], and getting him out of Springfield, all because he refused to accept Bart on the submarine trip despite his “good” behavior. [[spoiler: Agnes was in on the hoax.]]

* SeriousBusiness: Bart trying to be good doesn’t convince his family at first until Homer saw what Skinner did.

After Skinner promises the most behaved students on a trip on a submarine and starts by giving everyone a clean slate, Bart tries his best to do just that. However, despite the great lengths Bart goes those, Skinner doesn’t allow Bart on anyways because… come on he's Bart regardless. Upset, Bart turns to the one man who can help him... [[CaptainObvious his dad, Homer]] and they decide to teach Skinner a lesson. Meanwhile, Krusty sells his show rights to other countries (as per Lisa's advice), but soon regrets it when the Krusties from other countries become more successful than he is.

* AwkwardFatherSonBondingActivity: Nothing like standing up for Bart to teach Skinner a lesson.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Convincing Skinner he [[AccidentalMurder killed his mom, Agnes]], and getting him out of Springfield, all because he refused to accept Bart on the submarine trip despite his “good” behavior.

* SeriousBusiness: Bart trying to be good doesn’t convince his family at first until Homer saw what Skinner did and they to help Bart.
* [[SmarterThanYouLook Smarter Than They Look]]: Never mess with Bart's emotions, especially when Homer gets involved.
