* CharacterRerailment: A few characters are written far more like their early season selves than the portrayals they had at the time of the film's release.
** After Bart spent the newer seasons gradually becoming more and more sociopathic in his pranks, the film puts him back in his initial characterization of a misguided boy whose pranks are harmless but due to peer pressure can go too far with them and even then does feel guilt about it.
** After gradually getting {{flanderized}} into a nasty religious zealot for comedy's sake across the seasons, Ned Flanders is once again portrayed as he originally was: a kindly and caring neighbour who wishes nothing but goodwill on everyone and remains one of the few citizens not to turn on the family after Homer's screw-up, he even bonds with Bart due to his kindness in one of the film's subplots.

* OlderThanTheyThink: Throughout the film, Bart repeatedly wishes that Ned Flanders was his father instead of Homer. One [[ComicBook/TheSimpsons of the older comic book stories]] has a wad of gum mistaken for a birth mark resulting in the belief that Bart and one of Ned's sons were switched at birth and Bart temporarily ''is'' one of Flanders' sons, but due to Ned having a strict Christian upbringing in mind for his sons as opposed to Homer's Devil-may-care attitude towards child-raising, Bart does not have a good time at Ned's and repeatedly wishes he was back with Homer as his dad.

He knows there are innocent (supposedly, considering Springfield) people and ''children'' in the town, yet still decides to blow it up, make a natural monument, and profit off of it.

* NightmareFuel: The mob scene is quite unsettling, [[AdultFear in a way that not even the Treehouse of Horror can be.]] Homer screws up royally, and the whole town (save [[NiceGuy Flanders and Collin]]) gather to kill him... [[MisplacedRetribution and his family]]. That's scary enough, but the mob in question includes [[WithFriendsLikeThese long-time family friends like Lenny, Carl, Moe, and Apu]], [[DirtyCops the police force]], and [[AbusiveParents Abe himself]], all ready to kill the people they've known for ages. Even Principal Skinner and the students try to kill them. Arguably the most terrifying part is when the Simpsons are being carried to the backyard, and see nooses being set up for all of them, [[WouldHurtaChild including the kids!]] Although soon after that, we get another terrifying moment, seeing [[EtTuBrute Abe point a gun at his own daughter-in-law and grandkids.]]

* TrailerJokeDecay: Played straight with “Spider-Pig, Spider-Pig. Does whatever a Spider-Pig does.” Being played over and over and over again. However It’s also subverted in the sense that the trailer does not show the funny punch line; “Can he swing, from a web? No he can’t. He’s a pig.” This was a very pleasant surprise for the audience.
