YMMV / The Simpsons S5E21 "Lady Bouvier's Lover"

Go To

  • Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: While Burns brags to Smithers about being in love, he also expresses his joy to a florist, his personal trainer and President Clinton, who even remarks that he's glad he's finally found love. It makes sense as to why the former two would be there, but we never learn why the then-sitting president is just standing around in his office (sans bodyguards, no less) and how he would know about Burns' love life.
  • Crosses the Line Twice:
    • This line.
      Burns: She said no to me! Do you know how many women have said no to me? 130, but only one since I've become a billionaire!
    • Bart being punched in the face by adult delivery men. Not once, but three times.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight:
    • Homer is against the idea of his dad and Marge's mom getting married since it'll make them double in laws. The double in laws thing becomes true in "Rome-Old and Juli-Eh" when Abe marries Selma. Homer hasn't changed his thoughts on the subject one bit.
    • Homer's nightmare of his kids turning into horrible freaks with pink skin, no overbites, and five fingers on each hand came true in the "Death Tome" segment of Treehouse of Horror XXXIII, which converted Bart and Lisa (and the rest of Springfield for that matter) into anime characters matching all those traits.
  • Memetic Mutation: "Everyone who's [done X] may leave early today." used as a Take That! to either a single character, or an entire entry in a franchise.
  • The Woobie: The one guy left at the Power Plant after Mr. Burns announces to his employees that "everyone who has found true love may leave early today". While everyone else cheers and leaves the plant, this guy is left all alone, not having found the love that his co-workers have, and he looks like he's on the brink of tears.
