* HarsherInHindsight: When Homer slips on Bart's skateboard and falls down the stairs, the latter tells an incensed Marge that [[NeverMyFault it was his own fault for not looking where he was going]]. A [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS8E17MySisterMySitter later episode]] would have Bart himself fall down the stairs after not looking where he was going...and [[{{Hypocrite}} he blames Lisa (who was babysitting him at the time)]], even trying to make his injuries ''worse'' so that she gets in more trouble.

* MagnificentBastard: Adil Hoxha is an Albanian spy working undercover as a foreign exchange student. After integrating himself into the Simpson family with his politeness and helpful attitude, he requests Homer to let him visit the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant, collecting information and successfully sending it his home government. After being caught and outed as a spy by the FBI, he thanks the Simpsons for their hospitality and tells them not to let the experience sour their thoughts on the student exchange program.

* MoralEventHorizon: Bart is treated like a slave by two mean winemakers in France. [[LaserGuidedKarma At first, this is amusing, as we see Bart get what's coming to him for his brattiness.]] However, it fades when you see Bart sleeping with nothing so much as a blanket after reading a letter from his mother as the abuse he is suffering begins to sink in. When the winemakers finally force Bart to drink wine doctored with antifreeze, putting him in real danger of being killed or blinded, the louts sail over the moral line and all your sympathy goes to the boy, which makes his eventual escape and revenge all so sweet.
