6
7	!!Tropes featured:
8	* BaitAndSwitch: Kang and Kodos appear to be moved by Maggie's memories at first. However, they reveal that their "tears" were actually {{vomit\|IndiscretionShot}}.
9	* CassandraTruth: During the roast, Mr. Burns takes the podium to declare that Homer is a danger to Springfield. The audience doesn't take this seriously, thinking his claims are just part of the act.
10	-->'''Mr. Burns:''' Why are you laughing? His bungling has shortened your lives and mutated your children!\
11	''(the audience continues to laugh)''
12	* ClipShow: The last proper one in the show's run. The writers now do ThreeShorts episodes if they run out of good ideas for a full episode.
13	-->'''Singer:''' ''(singing)'' Sorry for the clip show!
14	* ContinuityNod: [[Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack The Imperial March]] is [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS4E7MargeGetsAJob once]] [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS6E18AStarIsBurns again]] used to introduce Mr. Burns.
15	* DiscreditedMeme: InUniverse, the Springfield Police has been cracking down on people impersonating movie characters. Dr. Hibbert and Moe get arrested for dressing like and quoting [[Franchise/StarWars Darth Vader]] and Film/AustinPowers, respectively.
16	* HehHehYouSaidX: When Mr. Burns presents the times Homer has caused trouble at the plant:
17	-->'''Mr. Burns:''' Just look at all of his catastrophic nincompoopery!\
18	'''Carl:''' ''(laughing)'' "Poop."
19	* JumpingTheShark: InUniverse. The end song features a bunch of crazy ideas mixed with mundane ones, and one of the crazy ideas is Homer ''literally'' jumping over a shark.
20	* NavelDeepNeckline: Agnes, parodying Music/JenniferLopez's outfit at the 2000 Grammy Awards. According to Sideshow Mel it is being held together [[FanDisservice by the collective will of every man in the room]].
21	* NoodleIncident: Kang was involved with Creator/ShannenDoherty at one point, and he doesn't want to talk about it.
22	* RecycledAnimation: The same sequence of Dr. Hibbert laughing, Nelson laughing, and Mr. Burns saying "Excellent", is reused a few times during the roast.
23	* ShoutOut: Chief Wiggum calls Homer "[[Film/ForrestGump Forrest Plump]]", and Moe and Hibbert are dressed like Film/AustinPowers and [[Franchise/StarWars Darth Vader]].
24	* SignatureLaugh: During the "hold for laughing" prompts, Dr. Hibbert, Nelson, and Mr. Burns do theirs.
25	-->'''Dr. Hibbert:''' Eh hehehe!
26	-->'''Nelson:''' Ha ha!
27	-->'''Mr. Burns:''' Excellent!
28	* StrangeMindsThinkAlike: Moe complains that Kang and Kodos are stealing his skit, including the helmet that reads Homer's mind (showing a crudely made helmet).
29	* VisualPun: One of the stills from "They'll Never Stop the Simpsons " has Homer [[JumpTheShark jumping over a shark in waterskis]]. [[invoked]]
30	* WeDidntStartTheBillyJoelParodies: The end song "They'll Never Stop The Simpsons". So far, they seem to be right.
