- Shallow Parody: The Tom Sawyer segment is only connected to the book through brief references to its two Signature Scenes: Tom's Fence Painting and Tom and Huck attending their own funeral (in this version we're lead to think this is about to happen only to learn they're really dead). The rest of the story is inexplicably about Huck Finn trying to avoid a Shotgun Wedding to Becky Thatcher, who's Tom's Love Interest in the book (a somewhat understandable departure as Bart and Lisa respectively play Tom and Becky).
