* TooDumbToLive: Marge's father saw Homer as this for good reason, but he knew his daughter truly loved him anyway, so he made sure to send her his will money so she could look after him and prevent his idiocy from making her sad.

* TooDumbToLive: Marge's father saw Homer as this for good reason, but he knew his daughter truly loved him anyway, so he made sure to send her his will money so she could look after him and prevent his idiocy from making her sad. To prove his point, in this episode Homer nearly died in a car accident, because he was texting while driving, and he previously removed the belt and the airbag in one of his shenanigans.

* ValuesDissonance: Hell and heaven retroactively enforce sins, making an in-universe example as a group of former sinners are sent to heaven due to their only sin (being gay during a homophobic era from 5000 BC to "like, ten years ago") being no longer considered sinful, while another group is sent from heaven to hell due to committing actions that are sinful from a modern perspective (like Creator/WilliamShakespeare being damned for performing Othello in {{Blackface}}).

* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: By her own admission, Goobie Woo is a manifestation of Homer's subconscious, and many of the revelations he has throughout his near-death experience can be explained by his unconscious mind putting two and two together. Things get a little more complicated when he ''actually'' dies and becomes a ghost, enabling him to have supernatural insight into things he ''wasn't'' involved in, traveling to Hell, and finally getting a second chance at life after having a critical epiphany. The possibility that he never died at all and dreamed the entire experience doesn't explain the fact that [[OrWasItADream Ralph knows about the whole thing]].
** Evidence for "mundane" comes in the TheStinger (see below).

* TheStinger: The post-credit scene shows Lizzo and Homer recording the voices for the episode, with Bart and Lisa directing. Maybe the episode was out of continuity -- a video written and produced by the kids?
