History YMMV / TheSimpsonsS23E22LisaGoesGaga

* HilariousInHindsight: Milhouse mentions that he's afraid of the cars from the ''Cars'' movie because they consume gasoline, but they have teeth. Come ''WesternAnimation/Cars2'', we discover that the cars actually do consume human food with their mouths.

* StrawmanHasAPoint: Lisa crosses the DespairEventHorizon when the other students find out that she wrote the positive messages ascribed to "Truth Teller," stating that her integrity was the only thing she had left. Homer tries to reassure her by saying "[[NotCheatingUnlessYouGetCaught The problem's not that you were cheating, it's that you got caught]]." He's right: everything was going fine before that point and Lisa was getting a slight, much-needed boost in popularity because of the messages, showing how easily swayed the student body really is. There's no real reason for her to feel bad about a harmless deception that never would have bothered her if she hadn't been found out and shamed for it. Unfortunately, Lisa tunes him out.

* WereStillRelevantDammit: Much like the Ke$ha couch gag from "To Surveil With Love" and all of "The D'oh-cial Network," the episode essentially played out like a ''Simpsons''–Lady Gaga crossover fanfiction. While there have been episodes with celebrity guest stars before on the show, this episode was notable for centering more around the celebrity than the main characters, which may have been great for her fans, but not to people who aren't really into her music.

* CriticalBacklash: As is often the case for ''Simpsons'' episodes that get popularly declared as the "worst ever", a backlash tends to eventually form, stating that "Lisa Goes Gaga" is a mediocre episode brought down by an awkward celebrity guest spot rather than something truly offensive or unwatchable.

* OneSceneWonder: This episode of all places marks the [[TheBusCameBack grand return]] of "Just Stamp the Ticket" Man for his first speaking role since Season 9's "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS9E19SimpsonTide Simpson Tide]]", bringing not just his usual snark but also greying hair in defiance of the series' usual ComicBookTime.

* SequelEpisode: Many fans have seen this as a sequel of sorts to "Moaning Lisa" or especially "Stark Raving Dad," albeit a bad one, given its massive unpopularity on sites like [[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2403733/ IMDB]].

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: The "Truth Teller" subplot could have been it's own episode, but it was brought up for a few minutes and quickly forgotten.

While there have episodes with celebrity guest stars before on the show, this episode was notable for centering more around the celebrity then the main characters, which may have been great for her fans, but not to people who aren't reall into her music.

* WereStillRelevantDammit: Much like the Ke$ha couch gag from "To Surveil With Love" and all of "The D'oh-cial Network," the episode essentially played out like a ''Simpsons''-Lady Gaga crossover fanfiction. While there have episodes with celebrity guest stars before on the show, this was literally 20 minutes of nothing but Lady Gaga having her ass kissed, which may have been great for her fans, but not to people who aren't really into her music. It's especially grating when you consider that some of the other famous iconic guest stars on the show like Music/PaulMcCartney, Creator/ElizabethTaylor, Creator/KirkDouglas, only appeared in small cameo roles or parts that only took up one-third of the episode's plot. The episode rehashed a lot of jokes about Lady Gaga that have been done before (and done better elsewhere) and received some backlash from fans.
