* SimilarSquad: Shelbyville having its own equivalents of familiar Simpsons characters is a RunningGag throughout the episode, with Shelby and his dad serving as counterpoints to Bart and Homer respectively. Funnily enough, this might actually be {{Justified}} in the case of the Milhouse-like kid, who turns out to also be named Milhouse; Luann had mentioned earlier in the episode that she's from Shelbyville, possibly implying that [[ChekhovsGun he's an estranged relative]].

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Bart thinks he can use a pair of spray cans as jetpacks to escape the Shelbyville kids. Instead of propelling him to the sky, all they do is ruin his shoes.
