* BrickJoke: In Homer's commercial supporting the Families Come First initiative, one of the regular Springfieldians that he mentions supports it is the Creator/JackBenny {{Expy}} who often shows up as a cashier at high-end stores like Costington's. At the end of the episode, he comes out to inform the sick members of SSCCATAG that the initiative passed using his BigYes CharacterCatchphrase.

* RippedFromTheHeadlines: SSCCATAG destroying every child-friendly thing is Springfield includes toppling over a statue of Itchy and Scratchy which resembled the famous [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firdos_Square_statue_destruction Saddam Hussein statue destruction]] that happened Baghdad, Iraq a few months prior to the episode's airing.

When a group of singles, seniors, childless couples, teenagers, and homosexuals band together to protest having to accommodate families (including paying property taxes used to teach children they do not have) after a riot at a children's concert, Marge takes up the cause for the families, with some help from Bart and Lisa.

* JerkassBall:
** Marge expresses ParentalFavouritism towards Maggie and ignores her other kids and Homer when it comes to how tired they are of listening to it over and over again. She then treats Bart and Lisa and other kids as pawns in her scheme to get rid of SSCCATAG.
** Maggie's forcing the rest of the family to listen to Roofi on repeat for days on end. It gets to the point that she snarls and death glares at Bart and torments the family.

* WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong: Bart asks this when Lisa chides him for telling Marge that Roofi has CDs. Of course, [[IncessantMusicMadness life answers that question for him]].

* PeripheryHatedom: In-universe. The Roofi song that Marge plays non-stop for Maggie drives Bart, Lisa, and Homer crazy, to the point where Bart actually begs for Mrs. Krabappel to make him stay after school and write something on the chalkboard a thousand times. Meanwhile, Lisa tries to turn off the CD player by unplugging it (only to find out it's backed up by batteries and -- when she takes those batteries out -- a solar panel), and Homer tries to smash the CD player in the middle of the night with a hammer.

* OverlyLongTitle: Sometimes shortened to "Marge vs. Everyone".

* RougeAnglesOfSatin: Homer's support ad for Families Come First ends with the message "Yes on 232" instead of "Yes on 242". In addition, the bumper stickers that are supposed to support Marge's cause were misspelled to say "Yes no 242". It's impossible to fix all these mistakes because it's the night before the election.

* SubliminalSeduction: Attempted by Homer when he [[https://youtu.be/nYvo97L7bxw moves a picture of Rudy Guiliani]] around while telling the viewers "I am Rudy Guiliani, do as I command you!" and "NO ON 232" flashes in a fairly obvious way. Homer being Homer, he screwed up -- 232 is what the ad's supposed to be against (the one they support is 2''4''2).
