Chalkboard gag	"25 years and they can't come up with a new punishment?"
Couch gag	Similar to the couch gag for season 11's "E-I-E-I-(Annoyed Grunt)", season 17's "The Bonfire of the Manatees" and season 22's "Elementary School Musical", the couch is roped off and a bouncer lets Marge, Lisa, Bart, and Maggie in, but not Homer in celebration of The Simpsons milestone 25th season. The end credits continue the couch gag by showing everyone in Springfield (and the characters from Family Guy, Bob's Burgers, American Dad!, and The Cleveland Show) being let in while Homer is still turned away, and ends up getting tasered.
