* OnceOriginalNowCommon: Marge's warning in the first special was actually a sincere one from the showrunners - as they didn't know how MoralGuardians would react to the shift in tone. Considering that the specials became increasingly DarkerAndEdgier as the seasons went on, it can be surprising to think they were that worried about the episode offending anyone.

** The "King Homer" segment in ''III'' was considered a big gamble at the time because it was an extended [[DeliberatelyMonochrome black and white sequence]] - and some were afraid that viewers would think there was a problem with their televisions.

*** Lisa's scream when toy-Bart suggests watching what she wants to watch may come across as comedic, but think about it. Bart is sitting dead-eyed and unresponsive at the bottom of the treehouse and inexplicably has a pull-string in his back that obviously manipulates him into speaking. Her scream wasn't directed at his offer, but she more likely realized he was dead right then and there.
*** Marge in particular has a moment where her "new" voice works to the show's benefit, as can be heard when she is crying over Bart's slack-jawed, dead-eyed body at Dr. Hibbert's office. She just sounds so defeated and heartbroken when she learns that she can never speak to her son again.

She already sounds like she's been crying for hours when she asks Hibbert how Bart ended up like this, but she just sounds so a new level of defeated and heartbroken when she learns it sinks in that she can never speak to her son again.

*** During the epilogue, Bart's toys mess with his corpse as revenge for his treatment of them... But this takes place in the family's house. As if Homer and Marge were just that grief-stricken and, unable to get over Bart, just keep his body around the house as if everything's normal.

*** When Homer begs for Bart to speak to him, he lets out a canned line from his voice box about how he loves his mother and father without anyone pulling the string. It's plausible that Bart isn't fully dead, but has been lobotomized so that he has just enough life to be able to not decompose, hence why the toy's taunting message carved into his chest during the epilogue has it appear in fresh, red blood rather than dried, brown blood. If this is true, then Bart speaking without having the string pulled might have been Bart using whatever sentience he had left to use whatever canned sentences he had to work with to tell his parents that he loves them. ''[[YankTheDogsChain And his parents take this declaration of love as confirmation that they've lost him]].'' '''''Christ.'''''
