* NotHowImDyingDeclaration: In "At Long Last Leave", the Simpsons go into the cellar for a nuclear war drill, and Homer tells everyone to let their farts out now. An unamused Marge asks Homer how he'd feel if those turned out to be his last words, and he responds that he wants them will be "I can outrun that lion!"

* NoAntagonist: This is ultimately what happened with Abe and Mona’s marriage as neither was wholly in the right or wrong. A schism just formed between the two and they let it grow and fester. Abe checked out emotionally with Mona who fell in with the Hippies as a result. It’s unknown weather or not she would have taken the risks she did if Abe was more supportive of her, but it wouldn’t be fair to say that it’s his fault he had to raise Homer alone. Nor was it fair for her to hold Herb’s birth over his head given that he was conceived before they were officially together as well as use it as an escuse to cheat on him.

* NeverBringAFriendToAnAudition:
** The backstory of Cecil Terwiliger, younger brother of Sideshow Bob, in "Brother From Another Series" has him trying out for the role of Krusty's sidekick, only for the Clown to express disgust at the lack of dignity he has after being pied in the face. He then throws it at an unsuspecting Bob (who wasn't considered for the role and only accompanied his brother), whose shocked reaction garnered him the role, to Cecil's lasting bitterness and jealousy.
** Defied in "Radioactive Man". In auditions for Fallout Boy, the director spots Martin Prince and cites how he'd be perfect for the role. However, since his assistant is unable to identify him since he didn't register, he immediately dismisses him and says choosing him would be unfair to the other boys who did fill out audition forms.
