History YMMV / TheSimpsonsS7E13TwoBadNeighbors

* JerkassWoobie: Bush resents and gets into a violent war with Homer and his family because they wouldn't let him have peace.

** Additionally, the fact that Bush is referred to simply as "George Bush" rather than "George H.W. Bush" or "Bush 1" to differentiate him from [[UsefulNotes/GeorgeWBush his son]] (whose name drop in this episode was a coincidence) firmly dates the episode to pre-2000.

* HilariousInHindsight:
** Homer's old jacket was supposed to say "Disco Stud" on the back, but instead, it's printed "Disco Stu" because he ran out of space. In 2017, CBS ordered some T-shirts to promote ''Series/StarTrekDiscovery'', but instead, they were printed as "Star Trek: Disco" because they specified the wrong font size, thereby running out of space on the shirts.
** In Brazil, Homer says it's supposed to say "estupendo"[[note]]stupendous[[/note]], making it more hilarious that Homer failed to notice he picked a wrong font size.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: The main plot became this when Barbara Bush died in April 2018, followed by George's own death seven months later. The ending where Homer becomes friends with UsefulNotes/GeraldFord had already become this when Ford died in 2006.

** Additionally, the fact that Bush is referred to simply as "George Bush" rather than "George H.W. Bush" or "Bush 1" to differentiate him from [[UsefulNotes/GeorgeWBush his son]] (who is referred to by Homer as George Bush, Jr.) firmly dates the episode to pre-2000.

* DesignatedVillain:
** Up until he's spanked, Bart never does anything malicious or purposefully nasty to George. The exception is the thing that set Bush off, Bart destroying his memoirs, was done intentionally; first by pulling the activation cord when explicitly told not to, and then intentionally kicking the outboard motor again when it stopped.
** This could also apply to Bush, as Bart is intentionally disrespectful ("Welcome to the 20th Century, GEORGE."), intentionally disobeys commands ("Don't you pull that cord [to the outboard motor], young man!"), and it is heavily suggested (but not outright shown) that most or all of Bart's actions are intentionally trying to upset Bush, yet Bush is the one treated as the villain.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotPolitical: This episode wasn't meant to be a political attack against UsefulNotes/GeorgeHWBush and was merely inspired by Bush's public condemnations of the show during his time in office. However, since George and Barbara had criticized ''The Simpsons'' during its early years for contributing to the alleged downfall of society, a lot of viewers have stated that this episode had political undertones.

* DesignatedVillain: Up until he's spanked, Bart never does anything malicious or purposefully nasty to George. Even the thing that set Bush off, Bart destroying his memoirs, was done purely by accident (Bart kicked the outboard motor, which started it up again).
