History Recap / TheSimpsonsS20E4TreehouseOfHorrorXIX

* TheUnintelligible: {{Subverted|Trope}}. At first, it seemed the adults in the ''Peanuts'' parody would be this like in the real ''Peanuts'' stories but the only adult sounding like that was Marge while playing the trombone. (In a way, the gag doesn't really work, because Homer had already appeared in full view during the opening sequence, acting like Snoopy.)

* GoneHorriblyWrong: Milhouse's immense belief manages to create both the Great Pumpkin and Tom Turkey, but unfortunately both of them are driven to KillAllHumans.

* TheUnintelligible: {{Subverted|Trope}}. At first, it seemed the adults in the ''Peanuts'' parody would be this like in the real ''Peanuts'' stories but the only adult sounding like that was Marge while playing the trombone.

-->''I believe in the Grand Pumpkin, almighty gourd, who was crustified over Pontius Pie Plate and ascended into oven. He will come again to judge the filling and the bread…''

* TheDeadRiseToAdvertise: The second story's theme.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: While talking about Thanksgiving, Bart mentioned how delicious turkeys become when the stuffing is shoved up its... At this point, Lisa, who knew how stupid it was to describe Thanksgiving to a giant turkey, shut him up.

** "How To Get Dead In Advertisement": All of the deaths listed in the FamilyUnfriendlyDeath entry below are removed (Prince getting stabbed with his guitar, Krusty getting jettisoned into a wood chipper, and Homer getting shot in the head by Krusty).

* HeKnowsTooMuch: Subverted in "Untitled Robot Parody". Maggie watched the transformer in full action, tries to tell Lisa (and fails due to the fact that she can't talk) and the robot then uses its robotic arm to stick her pacifier back in her mouth.

This year, we have a Transformers parody with robots attacking each other in Springfield, Homer murdering celebrities for fun and profit (mostly profit for the executives who want to use celebrities in their ads), and a lawyer-friendly ''{{Peanuts}}'' parody featuring a murderous pumpkin.

* {{Bowdlerization}}: The UK version of this cuts out the following scenes:

* SignificantAnagram: Each alternative title for "Untitled Robot Parody" is an anagram for ''{{Transformers}}'': Trans Morfers; Morf Transers; and Snort Farmers.

* TheDeadRiseToAdvertise: The second story's theme.
* TheUnintelligible: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. At first, it seemed the adults in the ''Peanuts'' parody would be this like in the real ''Peanuts'' stories but the only adult sounding like that was Marge while playing the trombone.

** In the Transformers parody, Marge managed to convince the two leaders of the robot armies to end their age-old war...[[PacifismBackfire only for them to team up to take over Earth]].

** Homer in the second segment. When the ''Series/MadMen'' expies show up and offer him money to kill more celebrities, upon using the money as a fan, he tries to pry more money out of them by saying he was hot. After they do give him more, he then whines that he's ''too cold'' and gives the extra cash back.

** In the first story, Marge managed to convince the two leaders of the robot armies to end their age-old war...only for them to team up to take over Earth. ''Then'' they're all tied up on a human foosball table because Homer wanted them to learn a hobby.

* FantasticRacism [=/=] AtLeastIAdmitIt: The ''Grand'' Pumpkin cares nothing about yellow pumpkins being carved, going as far as to proudly admitting that he and all other pumpkins are racist.

* TooDumbToLive: Bart and Milhouse in the ''Peanuts'' parody.

* {{Bowdlerization}}: The UK airing of this episode cuts out the scene in the second story of Homer killing Prince by strangling and stabbing him with the guitar shaped like the symbol he used as his name in the 1990s (though the scenes of George Clooney and Neil Armstrong getting murdered were left in, possibly because Prince's death was bloody and can easily be imitated while Clooney's and Armstrong's deaths[[note]]Clooney is sucked into quick-drying cement when he imprints his hands outside the Mann's Chinese theater and Armstrong is hit with a golf club after a very long Rube Goldberg-style sequence[[/note]] were too cartoonish to be considered a threat).
** The UK version also cuts the scene from "Untitled Transformers Parody" with the Sex Toy Bot.
