* IronicHell: At the very end, during the Apocalypse, after the Flanderses ascend to {{Heaven}}, and Homer stops Lisa's ascension, an opening to {{Hell}} opens up on the ground, and Homer, ever the BigEater, runs down the stairs when he smells hotdogs. Upon reaching the bottom, he screams in despair when he finds out there's no more hotdogs, and the only food available is coleslaw with pineapple slices and German potato salad.

-->'''Homer''': The pie shall be cut in half, a both men shall receive... death. I'll eat the pie.

* StylisticSuck: Bart's dream is stylized after old action movies (including a title card, end credits with the ''Franchise/LethalWeapon'' font and a ''Franchise/{{Rocky}}''-style TrainingMontage).

* BringMyBrownPants: After Homer puts a chocolate bunny in the collection plate, Reverend Lovejoy "holds the entire congregation hostage" in church by reading them the ''entirety of the Bible''. During the extended "sermon", the Simpsons family begin to daydream they are characters in some biblical stories.

* CartoonWhale: In "Simpsons Bible Stories", when Goliath II (Nelson Muntz in Bart's dream) spits out the skeleton of the whale that swallowed Jonah, the skull is square-shaped.

* FreezeFrameBonus: The "hieroglyphics" Bart chisels on a blackboard in the second segment's OpeningShoutOut actually are rebus for "I will not deface."

-->'''Homer''': Both men shall receive... death. I'll eat the pie.

** David!Bart is arrested for killing Nelson!Goliath, despite the fact Ralph finished him off. Granted Ralph ''is'' the chief of police's son.
* SexySecretary: Krabappelpatra is Pharaoh's (Skinner) secretary, sculpting "bird, bird, bird, pyramid, bird" on stone table. She sits in a very sexy pose and has Egyptian eye lines.

* UnexplainedRecovery: Ralph's death was offscreen, but his marked grave spelled it out. He later showed up and was okay.
* WomenAreWiser: Marge and Lisa's dream sequence are rewritten to invoke this. In Marge's retelling of Adam and Eve, it is Adam rather than Eve that first eats the fruit and tempts their partner ([[DirtyCoward with Adam pushing all blame onto Eve on top of it]]), while in Lisa's dream she basically poses as herself instigating all of Moses' plans, with Moses only there as TheScapegoat, and, being Milhouse, an incompetent coward.

* BringMyBrownPants: After Homer steals a chocolate bunny from the Reverend's collection, the man "holds the entire congregation hostage" in church by reading them the ''entirety of the Bible''. During the extended "sermon", the Simpsons family begin to daydream they are characters in some biblical stories.

* CallBack: Homer lamenting not using his pizza coupons may be a reference to the pizza coupons he got on "Sunday, Cruddy Sunday".
** The Orb of Isis seen in Season 9 episode "Lost Our Lisa" is seen inside of the pyramid.

* HistoricalInJoke: The pig from the Garden of Eden states that it wasn't an asteroid that caused the dinosaurs' deaths, but one of them ate the apple taken from the tree of knowledge and God wiped them all out.

-->'''SLH!Davey''': [[OhCrap See ya later, Davey.]]

* WomenAreWiser: Homer and Lisa's dream sequence are rewritten to invoke this. In Homer's retelling of Adam and Eve, it is Adam rather than Eve that first eats the fruit and tempts their partner ([[DirtyCoward with Adam pushing all blame onto Eve on top of it]]), while in Lisa's dream she basically poses as herself instigating all of Moses' plans, with Moses only there as TheScapegoat, and, being Milhouse, an incompetent coward.

During an Easter Vigil, Reverend Lovejoy finds a chocolate bunny in the collection plate. Since no one in the congregation confesses to doing it (though it's shown that Homer did so), he punishes them with a thorough reading of the entire Bible, prompting four Simpsonized takes on popular Biblical tales: In the first segment written by Tim Long, Homer and Marge are Adam and Eve (with Flanders as God and Snake as [what else?] the snake that tempts Eve into partaking of the forbidden fruit), Milhouse as Moses leading Egyptian slave children to the Promised Land, Homer as King Solomon presiding over a dispute about a pie, and Bart as David out to defeat Goliath Nelson.

** When Bart is arrested by Chief Wiggum, he says: "Where's your Messiah now?". This is a reference to ''Film/TheTenCommandments'' where actor Edward G. Robinson (on whom Wiggum's voice is based) is [[BeamMeUpScotty popularly believed]] to say the same to Moses (he doesn't). In the Moses segment, Wiggum's character is wearing the same clothes Dathan did in the same movie.

Upon reaching the bottom, he screams in despair when he finds out there's no more hotdogs, and the only food available is coleslaw with pineapple slices and German egg salad.

* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: Santa's Little Helper fleas after seeing Goliath II.
