%%zce* * HumiliationConga: Inverted. Homer gets put through this over the entire course of this episode. First, he can’t pay for an expensive meal, and gets forced to WorkOffTheDebt as a Mariachi band. Then he reveals that his car has neither gas nor seats, due to him stupidly buying a novelty horn, followed by his financial planner showing him that he’ll only become poorer after death. While becoming Burns’ flunky seems to make things better, he still gets forced to get run over by a bicycle, and publicly humiliate himself in a bathroom, followed by getting sexually assaulted by a panda.

* EvilHasABadSenseOfHumor: Mr. Burns was never a jovial old man, but this episode shows the depraved depths he's willing to explore in order to get a cheap laugh. First, he has Homer throw pudding into Lenny's eye repeatedly because he finds Lenny wincing in pain funny, [[EvenEvilHasStandards though he objects to Carl being subjected to the same treatment]]. Homer doesn't mind being Burns' "prank monkey," since Mr. Burns gives him a couple of bucks after a stunt like eating a rare ''[[ComicBook/SpiderMan Spider-Man #1]]'' in front a of distraught Comic Book Guy. However, soon after that Homer starts having doubts about his new position when getting run over by a bicycle has Mr. start laughing, and when Mr. Burns has Homer wear a diaper and pretend to be a baby in the bathroom of a stadium. What causes Homer to quit being Burns' "prank monkey" was getting sexually assaulted by a panda at the zoo, which caused Burns to laugh like a madman while Homer pleaded for help, and because Lisa told him to save what little dignity he had left. At the Thanksgiving parade, Mr. Burns offers Homer one million dollars to chuck fish guts at the crowd, but when Homer refuses, Burns merrily does the deed himself.

* SkewedPriorities: Lindsay Naegle bluntly points out this is a big part of Homer's problem. He's too stupid to not waste his money.

The car then runs out of fuel and Homer says he spent that money on a novelty horn.
