* DerangedAnimation: The hallucination scenes.Homer's hallucinatory DreamSequence due to the effects of eating chili and candle wax offers the animators many opportunities to show off surreal animation sequences.

* MushroomSamba: After eating some of "the Merciless Peppers of Quetzlzacatenango" at a chili cookoff, Homer starts hallucinating wildly (which Marge mistakes for Homer breaking his promise about getting drunk) and goes on a journey to find his soulmate.

-->'''Marge''': Mm, I suppose I could.
