* LuckyTranslation: The Spanish version of "No TV and no beer make Homer go crazy" [[RhymesOnADime rhymes]] -- "Sin tele y sin cerveza, Homer pierde la cabeza"[[note]]Literally: "Without TV and without beer, Homer loses his head"[[/note]].

* BloodierAndGorier: In response to critics who said the Halloween specials were too bloody and gory, Creator/MattGroening urged writers to make this episode the bloodiest and goriest "Treehouse of Horror" ever, which is why the beginning had Marge stating that the whole episode was going to be banned and replaced with an old Western movie about a train. For context, this is the first segment where at least someone dies in all three segments.

* KingOfTheDinosaurs: A ''Tyrannosaurus rex'' attempts to eat Homer, but he sneezes on it, killing all the dinosaurs.

-->'''Homer:''' (''nonplussed'') Eh, close enough.

* WhamShot: When Homer sits down for breakfast, the Simpsons are revealed to be eating their meal with long lizard tongues in this altered universe.

* WrongGenreSavvy: Bart maintains a stubborn belief in his PlotArmor even after watching Milhouse die, stressing that something has to come along to save him and Lisa, "the two [[TitleDrop Simpson]] children." He doesn't seem to realize that this is a non-canon HalloweenEpisode where AnyoneCanDie, meaning that even ''after'' the story turns out to be AllJustADream, [[YankTheDogsChain he's still out of luck]].

* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: Homer keeps traveling back to "the time when dinosaurs weren't just confined to zoos."

** The beginning of "Time and Punishment" has Homer mysteriously getting his hand caught in the toaster and freaking out as he tries to get it out. When he finally accomplishes this, he relaxes in victory... only for Lisa to inform him that it's in the toaster ''again'' and he continues to freak out as he battles it a second time.

Episode - 2F03\\
First Aired - 10/30/1994

** Despite still being a HalloweenEpisode, this is the first to not feature Halloween in any capacity. The previous Treehouse of Horror at least did had the characters shout "Happy Halloween" at the end.

* RainOfSomethingUnusual: Homer [[ButterflyOfDoomsneezes on a dinosaur]] and changes the course of history - which makes rain into donuts. This would have been perfect for him, except he leaves just before it rains because in that timeline nobody knows what a donut is.

* InexplicableLanguageFluency: When Homer is sent back in time to a prehistoric era, and has to avoid stepping on anything to change the future, he ends up swatting a mosquito then asks for reassurance that it won't change the future. He is understood despite being in an era before English existed, since a sloth behind him shrugs and grunts as if to say "I don't know."
