* AmbiguousSituation: Because of the automated message Marge and Lisa get when calling the egg painting company, they legitimately don't know if Creator/VincentPrice is still alive.

-->'''Vincent Price(?)''': ''And now, I must return to the sweet embrace of the crypt. But I'll be back! (EvilLaugh)''
-->'''Lisa''': (unsure) So, is he alive or not?



** In the midst of Marge and Lisa's subplot, in which they call to complain about their missing feet in their kit and are answered by Creator/VincentPrice (despite being dead), who tells them that his grandson will come to their help. We cut to a guy pulling up to a gas station, with the implication that he's Vincent Price's grandson… and then it turns out to be a DadaAd for the Catholic Church that Marge and Lisa are watching on TV.

Added DiffLines:

* FilmingForEasyDub: Parodied, as the animation delay time meant they wouldn't know who was in the Super Bowl before the show had been already animated. Instead, the characters pause, lift beer mugs to their faces, and speak [[StylisticSuck obviously-dubbed team names]]. Then they do the same for ''the name of the US President and his wife'' (as due to the Clinton impeachment scandal, they couldn't be sure who would be President either).

Added DiffLines:

** A meta example: The episode's plot itself can be seen as this considering it's an episode about the Super Bowl with Dolly Parton as a guest star yet no football playing or singing is shown. This is brought up by Pat Summerall and John Madden at the end of the episode.

* CardCarryingVillain: Rupert Murdoch describes himself as a "billionaire tyrant".



* ReportsOfMyDeathWereGreatlyExaggerated: Parodied. Marge calls the company that manufactured the egg art kit she was working on with Lisa, and is shocked to get Vincent Price himself despite having died several years ago. Price claims "You should know the grave could never claim me!" After telling Marge who to contact about the missing feet from the kit, Price says he must now return "To the sweet embrace of the crypt."

Eww, gross! Still, can't deny wanting to see an episode about THAT...


* NeverMyFault: Despite the fact that Wally was just as much to blame as Homer was when they found out the Super Bowel tickets were fake and they brought everyone all the way there for nothing, when they all get locked-up in the stadium jail cell, they take turns kicking only ''Homer's'' butt, with Wally cheering with everyone else. More than likely they decided he was more at fault than Wally was.

** And once inside, the scene changes to Lenny announcing the kick-off... only for the camera to cut to a wider shot and turning out that the whole group is inside the stadium's brig, taking turns kicking Homer's and Wally's butts. Then, after Lenny gets his kick, Dr. Hibert cuts in to say as a doctor, he thinks they've had enough... but as a football fan... Then takes his turn kicking Homer's ass.
