Line #8 Recap/TheSimpsonsS25E6TheKidIsAllRight


1	Creator/EvaLongoria guest stars as yet another new girl in school Lisa befriends, only this one has political views that Lisa doesn't like (read: she's a Republican, and not an UsefulNotes/AbrahamLincoln- or even a UsefulNotes/RonaldReagan-era Republican — a UsefulNotes/GeorgeWBush one).
2
3	!! Tropes:
4
5	* AmbiguouslyBrown: Isabel is obviously Hispanic from her name, accent and coloring, but characters dance around the fact they don't quite know which nationality she is.
6	* BandLand: Springfield is depicted this way in the CouchGag, which is a parody of the WesternAnimation/SillySymphonies cartoon "WesternAnimation/MusicLand", with all the Springfield townspeople shown as anthropomorphic instruments.
7	* BigEater: When Milhouse gets an M&M out of his ear, Homer desperately tells himself not to eat it because "it's been in his ear". When the dog catches the M&M, Homer tells himself not to eat it because "it's been in the boy's ear and the dog's mouth." Afterwards, Homer notices the M&M on his tongue. Marge then sticks it back into Milhouse's ear, exasperated with the antics.
8	* BorrowedCatchphrase: Lisa borrows Mr. Burns' "Excellent" and even places her hands the same way Burns places his when ''he'' says "Excellent". Upon realizing this, she says she doesn't want to be like that.
9	* ContinuityCameo: [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS2E19LisasSubstitute Mr. Bergstrom]] makes a non-speaking appearance after Marge shouts upstairs to Lisa that "[[ExactWords someone who loves]]" her put melted butter on her vegetables.
10	-->'''Marge:''' Thank you, Mr. Bergstrom. I'll tell Lisa you dropped by.
11	* ContinuityCavalcade: When Groundskeeper Willie brings the election banner inside his shed, it's revealed that he has additional banners that references past events on the show:
12	** "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS4E20WhackingDay Whacking Day: School Closed]]"
13	** "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS1E2BartTheGenius Congratulations Bart, on Being a Genius!]]"
14	** "[[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsonsMovie Coping With the Dome]]"
15	** "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS11E9GriftOfTheMagi The New Funzos Are Here!]]"
16	* CorruptPolitician: The Republican Party's Springfield Chapter rigs a Student Council President election to make Isabel win because she's Republican ''and'' a Latin American in hopes that she'll bring the Latin American community to their side.
17	* EpicFail: Near the end of the episode, Superintendent Chalmers masters the Spanish accent so much, that while he can pronounce Isabel's name flawlessly, he struggles to pronounce Lisa's name.
18	* FunHatingVillain: In the Musicville couch gag, Mr. Burns is portrayed as such in that he hates anything jazz and forces everybody in Springfield to play his preferred music and only his.
19	* GainaxEnding: Future Homer is shown watching the election on TV with his tuba counterpart from the CouchGag.
20	* MostWritersAreAdults: Two 8-year olds are having a major ideological debate, and the stakes of this election are on par with an ACTUAL election. No kids this young would have such fully formed and passionate political beliefs.
21	* NoTrueScotsman: Half the episode is challenging the underlying belief that someone belonging to a minority group in the US would be a Republican.
22	* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: To show Isabel how powerful he is, Mr. Burns reveals that he bribed People Magazine into declaring him the sexiest man alive. Most of the bribe was to convince them that he's alive.
23	* SharedDream: PlayedForLaughs: Lisa has a dream where she's visited by various recent Democrats, including Bill Clinton, who's [[TheBore so boring she falls asleep in the dream to get away from him]], thereby waking up. It later turns out that Homer, asleep in the next room, replaced her as Clinton's unwilling audience.
24	* SignificantAnagram: Isabel's first scene has her comment that an anagram of her name is "Be Lisa."
25	* SpecialGuest: Creator/AndersonCooper appears AsHimself. Creator/EvaLongoria guest stars as Isabel Gutierrez.
