* FictionIsntFair: Homer gets unfairly screwed out of a prison guard job he would have been perfect for while the person responsible for screwing him over gets away with it. Frustrated by this, Homer kicks a can down the street and gets subsequently imprisoned in the same prison he applied to work at because the police decided to start enforcing the most ridiculous laws they could to fill said prison up. While in prison, Homer is offered the position of prison snitch, which he takes because it's clear [[AnOfferYouCantRefuse he'll be whacked if he refuses]]. Marge then blurts out that Homer is the prison snitch in front of the prisoners, resulting in them trying to kill Homer. Despite all this (and the fact that the prison only came to be because she couldn't ignore a bit of "obnoxious hooting and hollering" from a few people in a town everyone in Springfield hates anyway), Marge chides ''Homer'' for ruining the prisoners' lives with his snitching. Homer got a ''raw'' deal in this episode.

* NoodleIncident: While looking for silly laws to use as excuses to arrest people, Chief Wiggum finds one that makes it unlawful to be in public without hats. Mayor Quimby and Mr. Burns quickly put on hats but Smithers can't find one. Wiggum comments that, if he didn't arrest Smithers at the park during that night, he won't arrest him now. The viewers are never given any clues to what happened back then (however, with Smithers being gay and the fact that public parks are popular places for gay men to hook up, it may be he was having sex in public with a man).
