YMMV / The Simpsons S 14 E 1 Treehouse Of Horror XIII

Go To


  • Fridge Horror: While the Springfielders are genuinely happy with their new animal forms, how long will it be before the predator-themed ones begin to hunt or attack the ones who are modeled after prey? Case in point with Owl Lisa, a former vegetarian with high morals, trying to eat her own sister.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: Homer asking to be transformed into a humanoid walrus in a horror-themed episode, following the release of Tusk.
  • Memetic Mutation: "Why am I always so funny when no one's around?"Explanation 
  • Nightmare Fuel: Homer's clone gleefully holding up Ned Flanders' severed head. You see it coming from a mile away, but with that Scare Chord, it manages to be a fairly effective Jump Scare.
  • Older Than They Think: "Send In The Clones" isn't the first time The Simpsons spoofed Multiplicity. The 1997 Simpsons Comics story "Smitherses!" saw Mr. Burns attempt to get around a Nuclear Power Plant workers' strike by cloning Smithers and having the clones do all the workers' tasks.
  • Parody Displacement: Thanks to the special, many viewers assume The Island of Doctor Moreau revolves around an evil scientist who turns humans into animals. It's actually the other way around.
