History Recap / TheSimpsonsS30E17EMySports

* CanadaEh: When the Canadian team is eliminated from the Conflict of Enemies 2 tournament, the team is confused when the announcer says that their team is "Out". He quickly corrects by saying they're "Oot".

* ADateWithRosiePalms: When Bart is taking too long in the shower, Homer mentions that there's only one reason for a boy to do that - [[BaitAndSwitch "Skunk sprayed him good."]] Then he opens the door and finds Bart "playing with himself"... [[SubvertedTrope as in playing the video game in the shower]].

* CluelessAesop: Homer's flaw in this episode is that he wants to live vicariously through Bart in his potential success at gaming. Yet despite the emphasis on Homer's flawed plan to live through Bart's success, Homer does not actually behave that badly. He effectively trains Bart and his friends and gets them ready for the tournament (unlike, say, A Star is Torn, where Homer behaves like a horrible stage mother making Lisa uncomfortable with his behaviour). Bart even admits that Homer's coaching worked, and other than Homer kicking Milhouse off the team and telling Nelson "Pringles are for champions!", Homer hasn't really gone too far here as a coach. It's mostly what we learn from his (dream sequence/song that tells us this is leading somewhere bad, i.e. to Bart eventually resenting him and their relationship becoming strained.
** While Bart does suffer negative consequences it’s not because of Homer living through his son, but his sabotage of the Evergreen Terrors’ imminent victory due to the belief that it would yield a quicker reward.
** Homer is proven right by crushing his son’s newfound success and enthusiasm not only does he become KarmaHoudini with everyone blaming Bart for what happened but he’s bumped up to first class.

* DownerEnding: After Homer ruined the competition, all of Bart’s teammates blamed him and pelted him with in-flight snacks for the 19-hour flight home with none of his family caring or noticing.

* TheScapegoat: Bart becomes this twice in the episode. The first time is in the beginning of the episode where a lot of the family’s problems [[note]] Specifically Homer’s relationship with his father and Patty and Selma. [[/note]] are blamed on him.
** The second is after Homer ruins the competition Bart is the one hated by the rest of the team.

* StoppedCaring: At the end Bart just sits there and takes it as the rest of his team takes their frustration out on him. The rest of the family react similarly as Marge doesn't even notice and Lisa and Homer are preoccupied with their own situations.

NOTE: This is the final episode of the series produced by 20th Century Fox Television as an independent company, as Disney's purchase took effect two days after it aired.

In the flight back, the kids are throwing chips at Bart for having his dad ruin their competition, while Homer dreams again of the club, but gets refused due to blowing up Bart's opportunity.
