Eric Gets Suspended is the ninth episode of the second season of That '70s Show, and originally aired on November 30, 1999.

Eric gets suspended from school while holding Donna's cigarette; Hyde and Fez go on a double date.


Tropes:

  • Crying Wolf: Eric is suspended for smoking but swears he actually wasn't (the cigarette he was caught with was actually Donna's, whom Eric was covering for). Red doesn't believe Eric because of the latter's history of lying and it isn't until Donna admits that she was the one smoking that Red accepts Eric's word.
  • No Smoking: When Red punishes Eric by making him smoke a pack of cigarettes, he apparently did it offscreen.
    • Subverted with Kitty, who sneaks outside for a smoke, and Laurie, who takes a drag from Kitty's cigarette.
    • This episode also hints Hyde might be a smoker, as he has no trouble smoking Donna's cigarette after Eric gets caught.
  • You Just Told Me: Red pulls one on Eric when he points out how much Eric has lied to him before:
    Red: You lied when you said you weren't taking the car out of town!
    Eric: You knew about that?!
    Red: I do now! Hah!
