* RealityEnsues: Bart gets punched in the gut by Nelson for telling people he's dating Jessica, something she denies. Bart writhes on the ground for a few minutes, so Jessica tries to kiss him. Bart gets back up...only to fall on the ground still writhing. Basically, being belted in the stomach isn't something you walk away from instantly.

* AesopAmnesia: Enforced. The creators state in that in RealLife, it is very difficult for a person to change their ways. Jessica never learns that misbehaving is not a good way to live, and Reverend Lovejoy never learns to discipline his daughter. Double Subverted with Bart. He is seemingly suckered in by Jessica into doing her chores, but in reality he intends to do a bad job to get back at her.

* BaitAndSwitch: While coasting down a ludicrously steep hill, Bart sees a jackknifed glue true. He assumes some of it has spilled and will therefore slow him down. Turns out that the glue ain't going nowhere. Then, when Bart runs over a single wheat grain and falls all the way down the mountain...

* DisproportionateRetribution: Nelson punches Bart in the stomach for "besmirching an innocent girl's name".
** Prior to that, Marge tells Bart he has to go to church "to learn morals and decency, and how to love your fellow man". Cut to Lovejoy reading a graphically violent passage.

** It seems this is because Lovejoy is in deep, willing denial over what kind of person Jessica really is. When he mentions that they probably took her out of boarding school a little early, Jessica gets fed up and points out she got expelled. As she begins listing numerous offenses, Lovejoy covers his ears and starts singing a hymn while Jessica demands he pay attention to her.
* DaddyIssues: Jessica's self-absorbed, manipulative tendencies seem to stem from the fact that her dad only cares about his projected image of her.
