* EpicFail: Homer's attempt at building a barbecue pit is one for the history books in regards to the level of fail involved. To wit:
** After Lisa has laid down the cement and takes a break to rest her back, Homer takes over. While looking at the box of grill parts, the box's rear end collapses, causing all the parts (instructions and all) to fall into the cement.
** Homer tries to salvage the cement-covered parts by resting them on a wheelbarrow full of bricks, which then topples over into the cement as well, meaning that every single component of the barbecue pit is now covered in cement.
** With the cement drying quickly, Homer attempts to read the instructions. Because the English side is ruined from the cement, Homer has to make do with the French version of the instructions...and gets stumped at "Le Grille".
** With no other option, Homer decides to haphazardly stick bits and pieces of the pit together. For a minute, it seems that Homer's successfully built the barbecue pit...but then it turns out that he was just holding the box; the actual "finished" barbecue pit [[https://frinkiac.com/caption/S10E19/301750 looks like it got sucked into a void and spat back out again]].
** Enraged at how badly the whole thing went, Homer begins beating at the "barbecue pit" with a pipe, screams and charges into it with an umbrella, then gets flung backwards.

It's not "incomprehensible", it's a different trope altogether.


* TrueArtIsIncomprehensible: Invoked in Homer's art style. The critics think his first work is art, but it was actually just some junk that Homer had thrown together.

* CosyCatastrophe: Homer's flooding of Springfield at the end should have been a disaster that killed many people and destroyed many homes, but not only is everything more or less preserved, everyone's completely fine with it and shown having fun in the water without worrying about whatever damage it's causing.
