* Funny/TheSimpsonsInPlusaversary



!!Disney+ Shorts
* ''The Simpsons in Plusaversary''
** Homer is outraged that he's NotOnTheList for the "Plusaversary" party, but Franchise/WinnieThePooh gets to go in despite [[HalfDressedCartoonAnimal not wearing pants]].
** Film/{{Doctor Strange|2016}} using his powers to cheat at pool.
** Series/TheMandalorian arm-wrestling with [[Franchise/ToyStory Buzz Lightyear]], pulling off the latter's arm in the process.
** When WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck tries to ask for a drink, Moe [[SpeechImpairedAnimal can't understand him]] and assumes he's choking, resulting in Barney trying to give him the Heimlich maneuver.
** Homer can't tell if WesternAnimation/{{Goofy}} [[FurryConfusion is a cow or a dog]].
** When [[WesternAnimation/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs a dwarf]] complains about the party, Moe addresses him as Grumpy, but he's actually ''Happy'', which says a lot about how bad the party is.
** Several during Lisa's song:
*** Kang and Kodos appearing with a sign saying that Disney+ won't be available on Jupiter until 2025.
*** [[WesternAnimation/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs Snow White]] and WesternAnimation/{{Cinderella}} giving each other a fist bump after giving Lisa a new dress.
*** When the characters hold out their credit cards, we see that Homer had stolen Flanders' card, while Series/{{Loki|2021}} has Thor's.
** When Goofy says that he wishes Homer was his sidekick, [[TheAlcoholic Barney]] insists that he's ''his'' sidekick.
** Some of the paintings shown over the end credits:
*** [[WesternAnimation/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians Cruella de Vil]] trying to measure Santa's Little Helper.
*** Film/AntMan1 and [[WesternAnimation/{{Pinocchio}} Jiminy Cricket]] running to avoid getting squashed under WesternAnimation/{{Cinderella}}'s glass slipper.
*** [[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast The Beast]] using WesternAnimation/{{Pinocchio}}'s nose to play pool.

[[folder:Commentaries]]
* During the commentary for the rejected version of "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS1E13SomeEnchantedEvening Some Enchanted Evening]]", the participants repeatedly say [[OldShame "Gee whiz..."]]
* Any time Creator/JonLovitz is on.
* Creator/ConanOBrien, who wrote "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS4E8NewKidOnTheBlock New Kid on the Block]]", noted how odd it was that Laura rejected Jimbo for not being the man she thought he was, despite that he was just ''threatened at knifepoint'' by Moe.
* Since "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS6E3AnotherSimpsonsClipShow Another Simpsons Clip Show]]" had little new material to talk about, Matt Groening instead described how an episode is made from start to finish. The last step: Internet reviews to declare it the "worst episode ever".
* For "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS6E4ItchyAndScratchyLand Itchy & Scratchy Land]]", David Mirkin claiming the genesis of the episode came about from a change of staff at Fox, who summoned him to their offices and said "our standards have changed, you can't do Itchy & Scratchy anymore." According to Mirkin, his response was "well, our standards have ''not''."
* In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS8E11TheTwistedWorldOfMargeSimpson The Twisted World of Marge Simpson]]", the commentators laughing hard at Whitey Ford on the ground after being pummeled by pretzels. Their laughter is infectious.
* In one season 17 commentary, they note that there's a picture of Grampa on the wall of Homer and Marge's bedroom. Al Jean quips: "Wouldn't ''you'' like to have a picture of your dad staring at you while you're making love?"
* They noted that during the table reads, nobody tries to imitate Creator/DanCastellaneta's Homer, because it's such a hard voice to do, but ''everyone'' imitates Creator/JulieKavner's Marge.
