  1. ↑ Episode 4F10, "Mountain of Madness": Homer tells his family that Mr. Burns is taking the plant on a "teamwork-building" retreat, and Bart responds with a speech about how he thinks "teamwork" and "sharing" are overrated. Homer seems to agree.
  2. ↑ Episode 9F15, "Last Exit to Springfield"|Homer plays back Lenny's "So long, dental plan!" cheer, along with Marge's warning that Lisa needs braces, over and over in his head until he realizes that if Burns takes away his dental plan, he'll have to front the money for an expensive (and hideously ugly) set of braces to fix Lisa's teeth.
  3. ↑ Episode 2F19, "The PTA Disbands": Jasper becomes a substitute teacher at Bart and Lisa's school, and decides to lay down the law in his own way.

  10. ↑ Episode: "The Last Temptation of Krust". Lisa and Homer are watching a Steven Wright Stand Up Comedy routine where Wright says "I finally got around to reading the dictionary. Turns out the zebra did it." Homer doesn't understand what's so funny about it, so Lisa tells him that "zebra" is just a word at the end of the dictionary. Still confused, Lisa then tells Homer that Wright was just telling a joke, prompting Homer to say the quote.
  11. ↑ More done for shock value than anything.
  12. ↑ Col. Hapablap explaining that the search for Sideshow Bob (who has stolen a bomb) on the air force base has proven fruitless. Made a million times funnier by R. Lee Ermey's line-reading.
