* {{Padding}}: The whole ordeal regarding Lisa's saxophone solo at the beginning of the episode ultimately has nothing to do with the rest of the episode's plot, nor does it get any sort of callback.

** Homer did not intentionally attempt to jump Springfield Gorge. While he ''threatened'' to do so in a desperate attempt to dissuade Bart, the actual jump was an accident resulting from Homer thoughtlessly standing on Bart's skateboard while lecturing him, causing him to unwittingly roll down the slope. This is not helped by future {{CallBack}}s making it sound like Homer ''did'' attempt the jump on-purpose.

This is not helped by future CallBacks making it sound like Homer ''did'' attempt the jump on-purpose.
** The scene is often noted as the first time the series resorted to full-blown slapstick comedy at Homer's expense, in contrast to the relatively down-to-earth tone of the series up to that point. It's actually the other way around, the point of the scene is to ''subvert'' AmusingInjuries [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome by showing what'd realistically happen were such a thing to happen in real life]]. Homer's fall (actually a prolonged tumble down multiple cliff faces) is entirely survivable if ''extremely'' painful, and he ends up in a full-body cast afterwards despite this.

In the episode proper, the scene ends with the crowd looking over the cliff after Homer falls out of the ambulance before cutting to Homer in the hospital.
