History YMMV / TheSimpsonsWhoShotMrBurns

** In 2020, [[https://sports.yahoo.com/simpsons-boss-responds-viral-theory-151500867.html?src=rss someone noticed]] that Krusty at the end of part one really looked like Homer dressed as Krusty, as in "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS6E15HomieTheClown Homie the Clown]]", giving rise to the theory Homer had disguised himself as Krusty to shoot Mr. Burns. Show runner [[WordOfGod Bill Oakley]] shot this down and said this wasn't intentional.

* ValuesDissonance: Today, there’s a form of security when it comes to weapons, especially in a government building like Town Hall. However, Mayor Quimby didn’t seem to be too bothered about this and let the people express their reasons for being alarmed.

* OneSceneWonder: Dr. Colossus the Silver Age-style super-villain locked up in the Springfield Police headquarters, with his EpicFail attempt at getting away by himself and Wiggum showcasing one more time he's a complete imbecile of a lawman by letting him go on a ''very'' incorrect assumption. Also a ChekhovsGunman, because he'd been mentioned once all the way back in "Lisa Vs. Malibu Stacy".

* OneSceneWonder: Dr. Colossus.

* EpilepticTrees: There was [[http://www.simpsonsarchive.com/guides/super.dude.html a theory]] that the one who shot Mr. Burns was Super Dude, the dead grade four gerbil that indirectly lead to the school striking oil.

* ItWasHisSled: By now, anyone with even a passing familiarity of the show likely knows who the shooter was.

* HilariousInHindsight: This episode has a TakeThat against ComedyCentral (Smithers becoming an alcoholic wreck who watches the fictitious Comedy Central show, ''Pardon My Zinger'', which becomes a major clue in finding out who shot Mr. Burns), which is funny, considering that ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' (Matt Groening's sister show to ''The Simpsons'') aired on that channel, with some viewers citing the Comedy Central-made episodes of ''Futurama'' as inferior to the FOX episodes and, to a lesser extent, the made-for-DVD movies (the latter of which were meant to be the final episodes of the show).

* HilariousInHindsight: The episode has a TakeThat against ComedyCentral. Matt Groening's sister show ''{{Futurama}}'' now airs on that station. It can also be a little retroactively fitting for [[BrokenBase some]] ''Futurama'' fans who feel its Comedy Central [[SeasonalRot era]] has marked the show's DorkAge.

* RewatchBonus: Pay close attention on any repeat viewings, and there's numerous subtle hints throughout both episodes towards TheReveal of the shooter's identity.
