Homer's eating habits catch up with him when he has a heart attack at work.

Tropes used in The Simpsons (animation)/Recap/S04/E11 Homer's Triple Bypass include:

"Perhaps I'm being too hasty, you are highly skilled...at goofing off! Now don't worry Homer, you're the kind of guy I could really dig...a grave for!"

  • Beat Still My Heart: We get an inside look on Homer's heart reacting to Mr. Burns yelling at him.
  • Hollywood Heart Attack: Happens when Mr. Burns berates Homer for the latter's work ethic.
  • Shout-Out:
    • The opening sequence of the episode parodies Cops. Interestingly, it wasn't in the original animatic, and was added to increase the episode's length.
    • The scene where Homer sings in a church as a boy is based on Empire of the Sun.
