History Recap / TheSimpsonsS28E15KampKrustier

** The marriage counselors Homer and Marge go see are based on the main characters of ''Series/MastersOfSex'', and are even played by the same actors.

** One of the images of Homer's "brain" workers during the closing credits parodies "Lunch atop a Skyscraper."

* {{Retcon}}: And ''how''. This episode contains so many inexplicable changes from the source material that it is heavily debatable how much of a sequel this episode even is. Despite having the same writer as the original episode, it does not show. We cannot expect a writer to remember every detail about a previous work, especially from almost a quarter-century later, but we would have expected him to have at least ''watched'' the original episode before doing a sequel.

* AnachronismStew: Despite this episode explicitly claiming this episode takes place back in Season 4 (1992-1993), Itchy and Scratchy has a ''Series/DancingWithTheStars'' parody (which didn't air until 2005), and characters based on the Minions from ''WesternAnimation/DespicableMe'' (which was released in 2010) appear in a theme park. While the Simpsons do exist in a FloatingTimeline, having this episode take place contemporaneously with season 4 just makes things rather confusing, especially since the original episode made explicit references to a still living Princess Diana and early 90s tennis players.

* HeinousnessRetcon: Kamp Krusty as a whole undergoes one of these during this episode. In the original "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS4E1KampKrusty Kamp Krusty]]", the campers were treated genuinely cruelly, being forced to eat gruel, sleep in freezing barren shacks and manufacture wallets in what Lisa described as "a Dickensian sweatshop", with Mr. Black, the camp's owner, being a CardCarryingVillain who revels in his awful treatment of the kids. In "Kamp Krustier", despite the premise being them being traumatised by the experience, the camp's actual cruelty and slave labour are forgotten about and the kids' bad memories of it are reduced to FauxHorrific PokeThePoodle offences like having to watch a bad production of ''Film/TheParentTrap'' with the one seemingly genuine trauma [[spoiler:a kid drowning trying to escape, turning out to be a mistake]], while Mr. Black is nowhere to be seen and never mentioned. Also, Jimbo, Dolph, and Kearney are depicted as having taken part in the rebellion against the camp when in the original episode, they were the counsellors that the other kids were rebelling against following suffering their vicious abuse.

* SpiritualAntithesis: Whereas Homer and Marge's plot in the original episode has them rekindling their love life while the kids are away at camp, this episode sees them dealing with a SexlessMarriage after Bart takes advantage of his supposed trauma after the fact to sleep in their bed every night.

* EpiphanyTherapy: Bart suffers trauma due to his belief that a kid drowned in the river at Kamp Krusty, and upon finding out that he was mistaken, he declared himself cured. [[CaptionHumor A caption then hints at]] a HappyEndingOverride in ''another'' 24 seasons.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Marge treats sexless/productive Homer as such. Grandpa even asks who Homer is when Homer uncharacteristically kisses him as Homer is leaving for work.

** One of the images of Homer's mind during the closing credits parodies "Lunch atop a Skyscraper".

* FauxHorrific: As part of the overall {{Retcon}}, some of the "cruel" things the Kamp Krusty children were forced to endure include a production of ''Film/TheParentTrap'' by the drama club.

** Lisa tells counselors that one of the many tortures they had to endure at Kamp Krusty was watching ''Film/TheParentTrap'' every night.

** Martin Prince is seen dressed as ''The Phantom of the Opera'' in a play, even though he was at fat camp until the rebellion.

** Jimbo, Dolph, and Kearney are seen rebelling against the camp, even though they were the counselors against whom the campers were rebelling and were reported as missing.
