* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: The first recorded instance of Americans getting poisoned by fugu occurred shortly after the episode. The victims survived thanks to getting put on life support and being treated on time. Here, Hibbert refuses to even ''trace'' the poison, not realizing Homer is perfectly fine.

* HilariousInHindsight: When he believes he dying, Homer tells Mr. Burns to TakeThisJobAndShoveIt, and a deleted scene would have shown Homer having to [[CrossingTheBurntBridge go back to work and apologize to Mr. Burns when he hadn't died]]. Season 6's "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS6E13AndMaggieMakesThree And Maggie Makes Three]]" would show Homer having to do the same things when Maggie was born.

Idiot Plot is now a definition-only page.
Deleted line(s) 1 (click to see context) :
* IdiotPlot: Despite the poignant aftermath, the setup for Homer's supposedly terminal diagnosis is brought about by repeated incompetence. He requests Fugu at the sushi restaurant, borishly ignoring all warnings against it (also leaving questions why it's even on the menu in the first place if the staff do not trust themselves to prepare it safely). Due to head chef being absent and Homer stifling his stand-in further, the Fugu is seemingly misprepared, and Dr Hibbert completely misdiagnoses the expected effects.
