Line 4:
== Played Straight ==
* Speaking of Barney, he stopped drinking in the eleventh season episode "Days of Wine and D'oheses" and remained a sober, clean-cut compulsive coffee drinker after the end of the episode and for several seasons. Like the Luanne and Kirk example, he reverted to his original state in season fourteen's "I'm Spelling As Fast as I Can". Later on in current seasons, he would have less roles, aside from being passed out on the ground.▼
* At the end of "C.E.D'oh", Homer has his "[[Lampshade Hanging|305th Everything Is Back to Normal BBQ]]." [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgd5S-X-_dQ This was the 306th episode; this only accounts for one change to that point].
* The situation used to replace Snowball 2 with an identical-but-different cat is also applied to Fat Tony in another episode. {{spoiler|Fat Tony dies from a heart attack while Homer is working as an undercover agent infiltrating his organization. Afterwards, we're introduced to "Fit Tony"; Fat Tony's identical-sounding cousin and a fitness buff. He decides to step in for his deceased cousin but while working as the mob don, he begins to fall out of shape and resemble Fat Tony. Eventually, he ends up being referred to as "Fat Tony", thus restoring the status quo despite the fact Fat Tony himself was [[Killed Off for Real]].}}
Line 33 ⟶ 32:
* Apu got married in season 9; in season 13 he cheated, and ever since then every appearance by him or his wife references it, usually by having them [[Cringe Comedy|act frustrated or angry at one another]].
* Sometimes the status quo changes gradually—for example, Lenny and Carl have pretty much replaced Barney as Homer's best friend. However, they just hang out with him just for kicks. This is made evident in the same episode where Barney decides to be sober.
