History Recap / TheSimpsonsS16E16DontFearTheRoofer

* LogoJoke:

*** VoodooShark: Yes but what prevented them from '''hearing''' Ray? Also the bartender should've realized Ray exists because Ray was served Nachos earlier, or even just ''turned his head'' until Ray was visible.

* {{Jerkass}}:

* ElectroconvulsiveTherapyIsTorture: This was Homer's treatment for weeks after everyone was sure that he imagined Ray. To make it worse, Dr. Hibbert gave him jolts when he learned Homer's sense of humor wasn't affected and when he mistakenly believed RobinHood was real. [[CoolAndUnusualPunishment When Homer found out that it was all unnecessary however]].

-->'''Dr. Hibbert:''' We can't between this treatment soon enough.

* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: Dr. Hibbert gives Homer several months' worth of electroshock therapy (which is flat-out excessive as far as psychiatric treatments go, short of a lobotomy) to try to force him to acknowledge Ray isn't real (and other things -- in the montage he also shocks Homer after Homer makes a joke that Yogi Bear is in the room (which he actually recognized was a joke) and because he said Robin Hood was real when in reality research has found out that he isn't (which means that he electrocuted Homer just because ''he wasn't up to date with Medieval historical research'') and when it turns out that Ray ''is'' real, Hibbert doesn't even says he's sorry but says that just ''validating his clinic's parking tickets are a legal agreement not to sue him'' (when Marge points out that he hadn't validated the ticket yet, he punched the ticket and mocked her).

* ObsessivelyNormal: Ok, interning Homer because people believe he's having hallucinations is kind of OK (although it also makes Marge an example of this). Trying to cure said hallucinations via electroshock therapy is awful. But Dr. Hibbert hits this Trope when he gives Homer shocks for anything he can think of that he doesn't considers normal, including Homer still having a sense of humor after so many therapies.

* ExtremeOmnivore: When Homer is about to undergo his first treatment, Dr. Hibbert puts a mouthpiece in his mouth, only for Homer to eat it despite Dr Hibbert telling him it was just to bite on. When Homer says the doctor should've given him one that didn't taste so good, Dr. Hibbert tells him that it was rubber covered in Vaseline. [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Homer then asks Marge to write down the "recipe" so that she can make it at home]].

* BaitAndSwitchComent: After Homer's first electroshock treatment, he made a joke about seeing Yogi Bear, leading to this line:

* ExtremeOmnivore: When Homer is about to undergo his first treatment, Dr. Hibbert puts a mouthpiece in his mouth for him to bite down on, but Homer eats it instead. When Dr. Hibbert tells him he wasn't supposed to eat it, Homer tells him that he shouldn't have made it taste so good. Dr. Hibbert then tells him that it was rubber covered in Vaseline, and [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Homer asks Marge to write down the "recipe" so that she can make it at home]].

* ExtremeOmnivore: When Homer is about to undergo his first treatment, Dr. Hibbert placed a mouthpiece in his mouth, which Homer promptly ate. Despite Dr. Hibbert telling him that it was rubber covered in Vaseline, [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Homer asks Marge to make some more of it at home]].

* BaitAndSwitch:
** After Homer accidentally ruined Lenny's surprise birthday party, he sadly started to leave, but was stopped by Moe, who seemed to be inviting him to stay...[[{{Jerkass}} only for him to scrape the cake Homer sat on off his butt before shoving him out the door]].

* ShoutOut: The whole episode is a loose parody/homage of the "Mr. [=McBeevee=]" episode of ''Series/TheAndyGriffithShow'', where Opie's assumed ImaginaryFriend turns out to be a real person.

-->'''Homer''': ''[When Lisa points this out]'' Wow. My subconscious is pretty creative.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero / OhCrap: Everyone reacts appropriately after Ray shows up ''after'' Homer finished his treatment (for seeing the "imaginary" Ray).

-->'''Homer (when Lisa points this out)''': Wow. My subconscious is pretty creative.

** When Ray offers him a big mug of beer, Homer considers that him plus beer equals a car accident...before he changed it to him being the President of the United States (resembling UsefulNotes/AbrahamLincoln)...who play basketball.

* UngratefulBastard: The rest of the family didn't appreciate Homer's attempts to do deal with the leaky roof.
* WithFriendsLikeThese: Marge and the family bitch Homer out like crazy about the house and stuff that happens due to the rain and when he gets a roofer to fix the roof and he takes forever to get back and fix the roof, they commit Homer to months of shock therapy because they jump to the conclusion that he's gone crazy.

* AppliedMathematics: Homer does this twice upon meeting Ray:
