* TheReveal during "Easy Bake Coven" [[DidntSeeThatComing makes apparent]] no one in Springfield really expected to have a ''real'' witch on their hands. And the start of the episode makes clear they've went through a ''lot'' of residents. Given their ''insistance'' on accusing someone that day, they seem to just love murdering people.

* In "Fly vs. Fly", Flyhead-Bart shows a [[ItCanThink disturbing degree of intelligence]], eavesdropping on Bart and Lisa's conversation and ''attempting to kill her and Fly-Bart'' to prevent her from using the teleporter. With that in mind, it's possible the switch might have affected it in more ways than one...

* Homer proved in the end that he loved the teleporter more than his son, to the point where he was willing to ''kill'' Bart for it. In reality, such an action would result in Homer permanently losing his parental rights, and given a lifetime restraining order against his children, who would most likely [[NomDeMom grow up under Marge's maiden name]]. His teleporter would also be returned to Professor Frink... who might make millions for selling and patenting it. [[LaserGuidedKarma And as a final insult]], Homer is banned from using teleporters if they become mass-produced.

* France bombing Springfield in ''The Homega Man'' will almost certainly be seen as an act of war by the American government. The American military will be deployed to invade France, if the United States doesn't respond by sending their a neutron bomb of their own in retaliation.

* FridgeBrilliance: Of course Mr. Burns turned into a ghoul. It's pretty much established that he won't die as long as he continues to embrace evil. As a matter of fact, [[FridgeHorror that curse may be the reason ghouls exist in Springfield in the first place.]]
** Homer unknowingly setting the seat of his pants on fire when he uses the teleporter to bypass the stairs in the house is an even funnier gag for those who have seen ''Film/TheFly1986'' and know why this was never an issue for Creator/JeffGoldblum's character...
