465 - "Elementary School Musical"

466 - "Loan-a Lisa"

  • Nelson is shocked to discover that LSimpsonJazzGirl is Lisa.
  • Homer’s party with all the unused goods he plans to return.
    Homer: Come in, come in. Don’t wipe your feet.

467 - "MoneyBART"

  • This conversation:
    Mike Scoscia: I did! But it also gave me super-managerial powers!
  • "I made baseball as much fun as doing your taxes!"
  • When Lisa takes over as the manager, the guys all groan that a girl doesn't know anything about managing baseball. She counters by listing off several managers who had feminine-sounding names (such as Sheva Alomar and Terry Francona), only to be informed they were all men.

468 - "Treehouse of Horror XXI"

Opening

  • Professor Frink's Frankenstein monster wanting to watch The Office (US), followed by a parody of that show's opening where the workers include the monster, a witch, a werewolf, a zombie, and an elderly hunchbacked hag.

A - War and Pieces

  • As Bart vows to blame Marge for the whole incident, we cut to her playing a parody of "Clue", in which she deduces that the Colonel is the murderer.
    Colonel: He was going to leave me. And I’m too old to find anybody else.

B - Master And Cadaver

469 - "Lisa Simpson, This Isn't Your Life"

  • Homer tries to buy Maggie a toy at a gas station but he keeps getting the wrong one.
    Homer: You couldn't do this to me if you weren't behind a sheet of glass.
    Clerk: Ain't no glass. (hits Homer)
    Homer: You're lucky your behind that sheet of glass.
  • When Nelson is about to beat up Bart, Bart tries to sweet talk him by saying that Nelson has good teeth for someone who never goes to the dentist. Unfortunately, he strikes a nerve because all of Nelson's teeth fell out and he's actually wearing dentures. Saying that Nelson does a lot with a limited wardrobe doesn't help either, because Nelson just assumes Bart is calling him poor.

470 - "The Fool Monty"

  • After Mr Burns anounces he's dying at a fancy dinner he organised for that exact purpose, there's a brief moment of silence, before...
    Homer: HELL YES!
  • This unforgettable exchange when Bart encounters the amnesia-struck Mr. Burns.
    Bart: Anthill. Moose poop. Mr. Burns. Mr. Burns?
    Mr. Burns: (Groans)
    Bart: My poop stick brought him back to life! But which end? (Sniffs both ends of stick he is holding).
    Mr. Burns: Are you my mommy-daddy-puppy?
    Bart: Cool, your brains have turned to oatmeal!
    Mr. Burns: Oatmeal? Is that my name?
  • There's a Freeze-Frame Bonus that shows a list of people who wants to borrow an amnesiac Burns as revenge. Makes you wonder how he wronged the nicest man in Springfield and several one-shot characters. Especially the children.

471 - "How Munched is That Birdie in the Window?"

  • Marge tells Lisa that she doesn't like possums, then feels something pulling on her leg.
    Marge: Ah! A possum!
    Lisa: Mom, it's only Maggie.
    Marge: (picks up Maggie) Aw, who's a possum? You're a possum. (feels something else pulling her leg) What's that?
    Lisa: (looks down and sees a possum) I'll tell you later.
  • Skinner tells Homer and Marge that Bart's been behaving much better since he's sad, and he wants them to make him sadder.
    Homer: Marge, listen to the man. He pays Bart's salary.
    Marge: No, he doesn't.
    Homer: Why don't you even support my gibberish? I'd do it if you were stupid.
  • Child/pet psychologist, for Bart and Santa's Little Helper. "Now, Marge, from what I understand from our phone conversation, you have a terrible service provider."
  • While the ostrich attacks the Simpsons, Bart starts hitting it with an object. The ostrich grabs the object and starts beating Bart with it, prompting him to say "WHY YOU LITTLE..." and start strangling the ostrich while Homer watches, cheering him on.
    'Farmer:’ Pa, you’ve gotta come and see this (zoom out to reveal a grave labelled “Pa”) Oh right, I forgot.

472 - "The Fight Before Christmas"

  • "Nein, nein! Why did I go to the nine o'clock show?" John Lennon would've found that hilarious!
    • Also, the fact that Hitler tries to avoid getting killed by Marge by removing his mustache, slapping it on the face of the guy sitting next to him, and then yelling "Das ist Hitler!"
    • At the end of the segment, Lisa wakes up and takes out an elephant doll and the book The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich.
    Lisa: This is the last time I bring these two to bed together.
    • The entire segment at the end, which is a parody of Sesame Street. Words cannot describe it.

473 - "Donnie Fatso"

  • Chier Wiggum giving Homer the first law tickets of the new year.
    Homer: 50 bucks! That used to cover two public nudities and a poop in the park! (crumples up ticket)
    Chief Wiggum: Oh! That's vandalizing city property! Write him up again, Lou!
    Homer: What the hell?
    Chief Wiggum: Mild obscenity before 10 AM. Also illegal.

474 - "Moms I'd Like to Forget"

Marge: I don't want to go to sea, because the sand makes me sad, because it used to be big rocks. But not anymore...but not ANYMORE!

476 - "Homer the Father"

  • The episode is about Homer learning to be a better father to Bart by watching a Full House-esque sitcom. Then there's this scene:
    Homer: The boy's acting really weird. I did everything that TV show told me to and he's still not happy.
    Marge: Well, maybe you shouldn't listen to a 30-year-old TV show that only got on the air because the creator had evidence the network president ran over a guy.
  • Bart's Imagine Spot of being punished for his treason, including a bald eagle ripping out his heart Prometheus-style.
  • Homer helps the Chinese spies build a nuclear plant. The plant explodes immediately after he cuts the ribbon.

477 - "The Blue and the Gray"

    Bart: I just have one question about hair: where does mine start? Head, head, head, hair! Where's the border?!

    (all three children frantically check their heads)
    Bart: WHAT ARE WE!?

478 - "Angry Dad: The Movie"

481 - "Love Is a Many Strangled Thing"

  • Homer's attempts to shoot down Mr. Burns' runaway hot air balloon: he fires into a flock of geese that scatter and form into the shape of a "?!", then he shoots the M off the end of a plane's banner reading "Marry me, Pam" and turns it into "Marry me, Pa", causing the father of the person who commissioned the pilot to slap his son. Homer gets Mr. Burns down when he shoots the head off of a gargoyle statue and it falls on Burns' head and weighs him down, and when the paramedics remove it he now has demon horns on his head that he pushes back in.
  • Homer's explanation to a therapist as to why he always strangles Bart dips into a sort of backwards Freudian Excuse:
    Homer: The other day Bart, the little dickens, said I had an elephant butt. So, anyway, I'm strangling him, and I said to Bart—
    Dr. Zander: Wait, hold on a moment. You were strangling your son?
    Homer: Yeah, strangling. I mean, it's not the only tool in my parenting toolbox, but it's the sharpest. Right? Anyway, I said to Bart—
    Dr. Zander: You're actually serious. You physically lay your hands on your boy's neck?!
    Homer: Well, yeah. I guess it's just how I was raised.
    (cut to a thought bubble, reminiscing Homer's childhood with his own father. They sit at a table, looking at his report card)
    Abe: Look at these grades, they're a disgrace! No TV for a week!
    Homer: Why you little—! (he gets on the table and strangles Abe)
  • Homer's nightmares about Bart playing various Abusive Parents of popular culture with Homer as his victim, with them as Joe and Michael Jackson, Wilbur and Ben Meechum, and Mary Lee and Precious.
  • Bart prank-texting Moe.
    Moe: (typing) "When...I...get...a hold...of...you...I—" Oh, dammit, I typed an "F" and not a "D". Delete...delete...delete...delete—Oh crap, I just donated $20 to Haiti!

482 - "The Great Simpsina"

  • Bart and Lisa are sent to get rid of a surplus of peaches. When Jimbo, Kearney, and Dolph lament that they have nothing to throw on the day of the Chinese lantern festival, Bart offers them his peaches, but they throw him through the lanterns instead.
  • When Bart struggles to remove the plastic wrapping on his Krusty magic kit, Lisa hits him and makes him cough up a pair of plastic scissors, then a pair of metal scissors, then a pair of shears. Homer picks Bart up and shakes him down to see if he coughs up a pot of gold.

484 - "Homer Scissorhands"

  • After Homer cuts Patty's hair in her sleep with secateurs (pruning shears) because paint got on her hair and then paint thinner put a hole in it because of Bart and Lisa, both Patty and Selma think it's really good and Selma asks Homer to do her hair.
    Selma: I never thought I'd say this but Homer Simpson, do me!
    (Homer puts the secateurs to his throat)
    Selma: I meant my hair!
  • Homer's foible hallucinations.

485 - "500 Keys"

  • This bit of Lampshade Hanging.
    Skinner: Sir, we have a problem with Lisa Simpson.
    Chalmers: Seymour, I superintend 15 schools in the district, yet every time I come here it's to see you about one of the Simpson kids.
  • As Bart keeps using the keys he found to perform pranks and ends up accidentally doing good each time, he uses one to operate a hydraulic lift to moon people on several floors of a building. One of them turns into a werewolf.
  • This Gilligan Cut:
    Gil: (after jumping off a roof onto the lift) I'm alive! And you're my naked fairy godboy!
    Bart: Aww jeez, I hope no-one heard you say that.
    Gilligan Cut
    Major: And to this naked fairy godboy, we present the key to the city.
  • When Lisa thinks about what Nancy Drew would do in her situation, she has a thought bubble of an elderly Nancy turning to The Hardy Boys, only to find that they're dead and buried behind her. When Lisa brings up Nancy again, she's buried between Joe and Encyclopedia Brown.
