  • In "A Star Is Torn", Lisa states that the reason her family got sick from organic food is because they're not accustomed to the "vitamins, minerals, and trace amounts of bug feces."
  • Inverted wonderfully in "Summer of 4 Ft. 2", when Homer tries to buy illegal fireworks from a Kwik-E-Mart and they're the least suspicious item on the list, despite being the only illegal one.
    Homer: Yeah, um, give me one of those porno magazines, a large box of condoms, a bottle of Old Harper, a box of panty shields, some illegal fireworks, and one of those disposable enemas. Eh, make it two.
    • Followed up later when Marge is unpacking the grocery bags and declares "Whatever you have planned tonight, count me out!"
  • In "Itchy & Scratchy Land", Lisa doesn't recognize the secondary characters of the short-lived Itchy & Scratchy and Friends Hour being sold as merch at the titular park - Disgruntled Goat, Uncle Ant and Ku Klux Klam.
  • In "Lisa's Wedding", Marge advising Lisa on the difference between names for things in the US and the UK: "An elevator is called a 'lift', a mile is called a 'kilometer', and botulism is called 'steak and kidney pie'."
  • Mayor Quimby's campaign jingle in "Sideshow Bob Roberts" includes a list of Quimby's achievements:
    Without a Mayor Quimby, our town would really stink.
    We wouldn't have a tire yard, or a mid-sized roller rink.
    We wouldn't have our gallows, or our shiny Bigfoot trap.
    It's not the mayor's fault that the stadium collapsed!
  • In "The Last Temptation of Krust", one line for the Canyonero jingle is "Top of the line in utility sports. Unexplained fires are a matter for the courts."
  • In "Homer the Smithers", Smithers explains his 2800 small jobs to Homer, who is filling in for him while he goes on vacation: "Your new duties will include answering Mr. Burns' phone, preparing his tax return, moistening his eyeballs, assisting with his chewing and swallowing, lying to Congress, and some light typing."
  • In "Lisa's Sax", a flashback shows a young Bart first making fun of Principal Skinner, singing "Skinner is a nut, he has a rubber butt!". Skinner responds by saying, "Young man, I can assure you my posterior is nothing more than flesh, bone, and that metal plate I got in 'Nam.".
  • In "Homer The Great", Abraham lists labels that he has in his wallet. He’s an elk, a mason, a communist, and the president of the Gay and Lesbian Alliance (for some reason).
  • In "Brother's Little Helper", Springfield Elementary School hosts a fire safety day, and as he introduces a play about fire prevention and safety, Principal Skinner says "Fire can be our servant, whether it's toasting s'mores, or raining down on Charlie.".
  • In "Bart's Friend Falls in Love", Ms. Krabappel's class watches a sex education video about Fuzzy and Fluffy Bunny. They went to the park, the ice cream social, the boat show and the gun range (which narrator Troy McClure lists under "other wholesome activities").
  • In the classic episode where Homer accidentally hijacks a nuclear submarine and he is accused of being a Communist infiltrator, his father Abe gets interviewed.
    "My Homer is not a Communist. He may be a liar, a pig , an idiot, a Communist, but he is not a porn star."
