Selma marries Fat Tony while Lisa uses Bart to sniff out truffles.
Tropes:
- Bait-and-Switch Comment: After no longer needing his pig to find truffles, Luigi brandished a knife and declared that it would have a new usefulness: knife sharpener.
- Bullying a Dragon: Selma has no problem treating Springfield's most feared mob boss with the same amount of disrespect as any other DMV customer. Even after Fat Tony's goons kidnap her and take her to an undisclosed location for the expected whacking, she continues to mouth off, which impresses him.
- Continuity Nod: Luigi's truffle pig resembles Plopper, Homer's pig from The Movie.
- Enormous Engagement Ring: Fat Tony's real wife laughs at the size of Selma's ring, which is a ring of a mistress. Her ring is huge and the gem is as big as her fist.
- Exact Words: When Lisa asked Bart to find three more truffles, she said she wanted them to be as big as a baby's head. When Bart agreed, she pointed to a swollen-headed baby.Cletus: That tick done swelled you up, Normal-Head Joe.
- Eye Scream: Discussed at the end of the episode.Selma: Marge, if I ever want to get married again, I want you to jab your thumbs into my eyes.Louie: And we can show you how to do it, too. The trick is, you don't stop 'til you hear a 'pop'.
- Hiding Behind the Language Barrier: Fat Tony takes advantage of Selma's inability to speak Italian by holding their Sham Wedding in Italian, preventing her from realising that she's only agreeing to be Fat Tony's mistress instead of his wife.
- Reused Character Design: Luigi's truffle pig looks just like Plopper from The Simpsons Movie, to the point that some sources misidentify him as Plopper despite Luigi stating that he brought the pig from Italy and the fact that Bart and Lisa don't act like they already know him.
- Sham Wedding: Selma marries Fat Tony, the local mafia boss. However, it turns out the wedding wasn't real and the ceremony was held in Italian (which Selma doesn't know), and she only agreed to be Tony's house mistress. Fat Tony's real wife laughs at the size of Selma's ring.
- Trouble Entendre: Fat Tony's henchmen are confused when told to "take care" of a doctor.
