1	The IRS comes knocking when the kids try getting a failing aquarium tax-exempt status.
2	!Tropes
3	* BreadEggsBreadedEggs:
4	-->'''Bob:''' What are you kids doing?\
5	'''Gene:''' Faking a religion.\
6	'''Bob:''' What?\
7	'''Louise:''' Homework.\
8	'''Bob:''' Oh.\
9	'''Tina:''' Fake religion homework.\
10	'''Bob:''' What?\
11	'''Tina:''' Nothing!
12	* DelayedCausality: The jellyfish don't sting Roger immediately after getting into the tank. There's just enough time for Tina to confess to the fraud, for Roger to react to that and to doubt if the jellyfish are even real. And ''that's'' when they start stinging him.
13	* IntimidatingRevenueService: Averted. Despite the kids reacting like he's one, Roger is a swell (if odd) guy.
14	* SavingTheOrphanage: The main plot is the kids trying to save the aquarium due to low attendance. While they fail with their Aquaticism scam, Roger suggests that they could raise more funds by holding activities like the fake singles mixer they held.
15	* ScamReligion: The kids convince Judy to file the aquarium as a church for the tax exemption. Things get complicated when Roger the IRS agent wants to join.
16	* ShoutOut:
17	** Both {{Couch Gag}}s in the opening reference ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill''. The shop on the side is called "Pro-Pain Accessories" (it sells dominatrix gear), and the exterminator truck is Dale's Dead Bug.
18	** Judy recalls the time she thought a man online was Creator/TonyDanza because his e-mail address had Danza's name on it. After she sends the IRS forms, Gene shouts "[[Series/WhosTheBoss Who's the boss now?]]"
