** After obtaining a massive amount of sunken treasure, Mr. Burns decides to swim in it. He instantly manages to break every bone in his body.
** Mr. Burns thinks he can save money by getting his workers addicted to specially engineered donuts and offering them as pay, but a month into their addictions his employees are now incredibly fat and have such a hard time doing their jobs the drop in productivity and the money it takes to keep them in donuts means Burns is now losing his profits.
** At the end of the first Simpsons Super Special story, Krusty has been revealed to be framing Homer, and is caught. The Blue Haired Lawyer steps in to point out that as a rich celebrity, Krusty will just walk away scot-free, and everyone knows it. So Homer pies him.

* ApopheniaPlot: In ''The Perplexing Puzzle of the Springfield Puma'', the Springfield school puma statue gets stolen while the director is on a business trip. The investigation gets increasingly bizarre, [[EveryoneIsASuspect with nearly everyone having weird motives to steal the statue]] (from a teacher whose aunt was mauled by a puma to a student who believes that the statue is a jewel-encrusted treasure repainted to look like plaster, obviously parodying the genre clichés of noir stories like ''Literature/TheMalteseFalcon''). Eventually it is revealed that the director took the statue himself to keep it safe.
