Ambulance Cut is pretty much always used for comedy, so this doesn't need to be specified


* AmbulanceCut: A humorous variant is seen near the end of the first act. After feeling amorous from being with Jacqueline Bouvier, Grampa realizes "I'm in love! No, wait, it's a stroke." Then it cuts to an ambulance driving with Grampa inside it, realizing "No, wait! It IS love!" To which the paramedics toss him out of the ambulance on his gurney, sending him rolling onto a highway ramp as he gleefully and obliviously cries out "I'M IN LOVE!"

* RuleOfThree: While waiting for the animation cel to arrive, Bart gets visited by a representative of Frank Sinatra and a golf course employee, both claiming 'have a special delivery for Homer Simpson', and when Bart answers that's him, they both punch him in the nose, telling him to stop sending letters to Mr. Sinatra and stealing golf balls from the driving range, respectively. He then gets a third visitor claiming to have a special delivery for Homer Simpson, and is reluctant to open the door at first until peeking through the mail slot to see the man carrying the tube with the animation cel, leading to this exchange:
-->'''Delivery Man:''' (hands Bart the tube) Here's your special delivery.
-->'''Bart:''' Thanks!
-->'''Delivery Man:''' (punches Bart in the face) That's for keeping me waiting!

* ArtisticLicenseLaw: Even if a patient is lying or otherwise wrong about their symptoms, paramedics will not be allowed to kick them out of an ambulance like they did to Grampa after he confused his feelings about being in love with a stroke; they would still have to take him to the hospital and have a doctor properly assess him.
