* AccidentallyCorrectWriting: [[GameShowAppearance Marge goes on]] ''Series/{{Jeopardy}}'' to pay back Springfield, [[EpicFail but she ends up with a score of -$5,200]], which is so terrible that Creator/AlexTrebek actually asks Marge to pay the show back. [[https://www.j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=7072 In April 1985]], one player ended up with a score of -$5,100, only $100 more than Marge's score, which was further topped in January 2008 with a score of -$6200, then July 2012 with a score of -$6400, March 2015 with a score of -$6800, and July 2021 with a score of -$7400. Although, in November 2001, the show had doubled the scoring system, so in either scoring system, Marge would have still been the biggest loser.

** Inflation example. The Simpsons decide to buy a new car with the money they raised from the Springfieldians. The car they settle on is marked up from $12,000; by the early TheNewTens, new cars in the United States were no longer priced that low.
** When Marge appears on ''Series/{{Jeopardy}}'', she's seen on the [[FanNickname "Sushi Bar"]] set, which was used from 1996 to 2002.
