Treehouse of Horror/YMMV
- Harsher In Hindsight: In "Hex and the City" from Treehouse Of Horror XII, aired in 2001, Carl and Lenny are crushed to death by a helicopter crashing into Moe's Tavern. Homer graves until he's see Moe's death. While meant to show how Homer's attention is limited, it lost it's humor when a similar disaster happened in Scotland in 2013. Nine people were killed as a result.
- Nightmare Fuel: Some of the shorts are really scary such as Nightmare Cafeteria and There's No Business Like Moe's Business for starters.
- Ugly Cute: The blue Gremlin at first... until the ending.
