Line 11:
:* But perhaps the funniest example occurred in an early "Treehouse of Horror" Halloween episode, where Lisa dreams that she and her family purchase a magical Moroccan "monkey's paw" that grants four wishes but also finds some way to totally screw the wisher over while adhering to the wording of the wish. After the second and third wishes result in unmitigated disasters, Homer declares that he has thought of a completely foolproof wish: "I want a turkey sandwich....on rye bread....with mustard - and - ''and'' - I don't want any zombie-turkeys, and I don't want to turn into a turkey myself, and I don't want any other weird surprises. ''Got it?!''" Homer's sandwich then appears as requested, and he promptly bites into it....and then throws a tantrum because the turkey is a little dry. (See, [[Jerkass Genie|he said he didn't want any WEIRD surprises]].)
:* Invoked by Homer in another "Treehouse of Horror" where he sells his soul for a donut. He eventually figures that if he didn't finish the donut, he wouldn't have to go to Hell. It works...until Homer sleepwalks to the kitchen later that night and eats it.
:** In the same episode, Homer is on trial for his soul. He's saved when Marge shows a picture of them on the back of which Homer wrote that his soul belongs to Marge. Apparently, this is legally-binding and, thus, supercedes the agreement between Homer and Ned the Devil.
* ''[[South Park]]'': There also ain't no rule that a peewee hockey team can't stand in for the Colorado Avalanche against the Detroit Red Wings.
** You can't get away with saying "shit" on television once according to standards and practices. Use it [[Cluster F-Bomb|162 times]] and you can quite literally [[Get Shit Past The Radar]] via [[Refuge in Vulgarity]].
