| Chalkboard gag | Instead of writing lines as punishment, Bart draws an NCAA-style playoff bracket featuring characters from the series, with Homer and Jasper in the finals. |
| Couch gag | As the Simpsons rush to the couch, the lights go off. Marge leaves to fix the fuse, and when the lights go up, the characters are drawn Triplets of Belleville-style and everything has a French aesthetic to it. Bart plays with a do-it-yourself foie gras kit, Lisa plays an accordion, Marge cries out, "Maggie? Où est Maggie?" and Homer gets up and eats a snail off the TV, oblivious that Maggie is stuck between his butt cheeks. Directed by Sylvain Chomet. |
