History Recap / TheSimpsonsS3E19DogOfDeath

** Bart gets his hair cut for free at Springfield Barber College. One of the students accidentally shaves his head.

* AGodAmI: Homer fantasizes that about what he would he would do after winning the lottery: he would somehow make himself into King Homer - the tallest man in the world and made of 14 karat gold - and take over Mr. Burns' position as boss. The last shot of his fantasy is a colossal Homer made of gold and covered in enormous gems, wearing a crown and giving an evil laugh while towering over Springfield.

-->'''Burns:''' I remember when he bagged his first hippy. He didn't think it was so "groovy".

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Mr. Burns wanted Santa's Little Helper to be a vicious attack dog and ended up being one person the dog attacked. Considering he was wearing protective gear at the time, however, it was likely he anticipated this.

** Among the violent films Santa's Little Helper sees are the Hindenburg disaster and President UsefulNotes/LyndonJohnson yanking a dog's ears (as he used to do in real life).
*** Santa's Little Helper is forced to watch the anti-dog propaganda film while his eyes are clamped open, and strapped to a chair, much like how Alex de Large was forced to undergo the Ludovico Procedure in ''Film/AClockworkOrange''.

'''Burns:''' ''(Without opening his eyes)'' Release the hounds!

-->'''Marge''': Bart, I know you're upset.
-->'''Bart''': Darn right I'm upset!
-->'''Marge''': ''(Strictly)'' Bart! Watch your language! ''(Realizes)'' Oh, you did. Sorry.

* MyNewGiftIsLame: When Kent Brockman is reporting on the $250 million lottery jackpot he mentions that the schools would get a cut of the ticket sale profits, and Principal Skinner is making plans to upgrade the school by updating the curriculum and where students would be held in placde with magnets. After Brockman brags to the audience that he won't quit a good paying job just because he won the lottery, he reports on the ceremony where an official gives Skinner his school's share of the profits: one brand new chalkboard eraser. Just as Skinner goes on a rant that the government screwed him over again, the transmission cuts back to Brockman in the studio.

-->'''Burns''': I remember the day he bagged his first hippie.

-->'''Smithers''': I hate to interrupt your longevity treatment, sir, but there's a sweet little boy at the door.
-->'''Burns''': ''[without opening his eyes]'' Release the hounds!

* RealLifeWritesThePlot: The story is loosely based in writer John Swartzwelder's experiences with his own dog, which had also suffered from bloat. However, unlike the events in the episode, Swartzwelder's dog did not receive treatment as the operation was too expensive and the dog was too old, so it was euthanized.
