* HowWeGotHere: The use of this trope is parodied when, after Homer agress to come with Bart to put the head back on the statue, the opening sequence repeats until the mob interrupts the story, saying they already know that part.
Added DiffLines:
* SpecialEditionTitle: {{Downplayed|Trope}} in that the TitleSequence had Bart fall past the screen during the "Created By/Developed By" part (due to the CouchGag having Homer force Bart out of the couch).[[note]]This particular opening is also used in "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS1E8TheTelltaleHead The Telltale Head]]", which had the same Couch Gag.[[/note]]
