Mortality shoehorn, moving to a more-fitting trope.


* HarsherInHindsight: Bart's imagine spot where he's a contestant on Series/MatchGame alongside Kitty Carlisle and Farrah Fawcett in the year 2034. For one thing, Carlisle and Fawcett died in 2007 and 2009, respectively. For another, Match Game was cancelled in 2021.



* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: Bart taking a cell phone call during class while working as Krusty's assistant. Back then, the joke was that only important people had cell phones (and that cell phones in the 1990s were big and unwieldy). These days, with smaller cell phones and kids as young as ten having them (due to their parents trying to make sure where they are at all times or the kids themselves wanting to be hip and cool), the joke isn't all that funny or revolutionary, and comes off as odd that a ten-year-old would have such a big cell phone.

Erasing a misuse of FAM since it only involves the actress dying.

* MemeticMutation: The scene where Bart's in class and all the kids and Mrs. Krabappel are staring at him smiling. Milhouse tells him to "say the line" and Bart reluctantly sighs and says "I didn't do it." and the class cheers while Bart looks miserable. This scene is often edited on forums and social media to make fun of other [[DiscreditedMeme discredited memes.]]
