* OlderThanTheyThink: The opening joke where Homer's reacts to Lisa and Janey singing the LastSecondWordSwap song "Miss Susie Had a Steamboat" was originally written for Season 3's "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS3E3WhenFlandersFailed When Flanders Failed]]", but was scrapped due to animation timing problems with that episode.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Due to the mistaken belief that losing his last baby tooth meant he was now an adult, Bart goes through a "midlife crisis". However, instead of focusing on the GrowingUpSucks narrative, the episode goes through a HalfwayPlotSwitch where Homer is given a SympatheticPOV despite the FinancialAbuse he puts his son through.

* HilariousInHindsight: AlternativeJokeInterpretation: Marge is offended by a cynical phrase on Bart's shirt, saying that she likes shirts "with a nice joke. Like 'Support Our Troops'!" This comes off as a weird thing for Marge to say, and has multiple interpretations. 1, she doesn't realize that the slogan is meant to be serious. 2, she doesn't think the troops are worth supporting. 3, she does support the troops, but thinks that wearing a shirt is a meaningless and useless way to help.

Crazy Awesome is no longer a trope.


* CrazyAwesome: The fact that Homer knows how to build a miniature nuclear reactor (A Class Two Plutonium Fission Reactor, at that), and has direct access to the materials to them.

* HilariousInHindsight: The opening of the episode revolves around Bart realizing that he "isn't a little kid anymore." "Sunday School", a {{Simpsonwave}} video by Lucien Hughes, is focused on Bart. It uses the song "Teen Pregnancy" by Music/BlankBanshee, which includes the lyrics "I'm just a kid" repeating. "Sunday School" syncs this line to clips of Bart.
