History YMMV / TheSimpsonsS8E21TheOldManAndTheLisa

* AluminumChristmasTrees: While Homer experiencing four simultaneous heart attacks (followed by a fifth while hospitalized when Lisa tells him what the check from her share of the recycling plant was worth much more than he thought) sounds improbable enough to be written off as a joke to illustrate his utter shock of seeing Lisa reject a $12 million check from Mr. Burns, it actually is possible to suffer multiple heart attacks in a short timespan, although such occurrences are rarely survivable. In one notable case, in December 2023, British actor Creator/MarkSheppard (best known for his recurring role as [[Characters/SupernaturalDemons Crowley]] in ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'') suffered ''[[https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/celebrities/2023/12/05/supernatural-mark-sheppard-six-heart-attacks/71809694007/ six massive heart attacks]]'' resulting from a total blockage of his left anterior descending artery; Sheppard luckily survived the "widowmaker" incident, although he revealed in an Instagram post that he flatlined ''four times'', each time successfully being resuscitated by medics.

* OneSceneWonder: Wrestling/BretHart as the new owner of Burns' Manor.

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Lisa's given $12 million dollars from Burns as part of her share in the recycling project. Knowing where the money came from, she chooses to rip the check up. Not only does that mean Burns still has the $12 million, the fact that she'd rather make a symbolic gesture of having standards instead of doing literally anything with that much money to help the environment or repair the damage Burns caused on the ocean makes her come across as a shortsighted fool. She even tells Homer to his face, right after he had ''four simultaneous heart attacks'' seeing her throw away that money, that the amount was much bigger than he thought and thus causes ''another'' heart attack.

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Lisa's given twelve million dollars from Burns as part of her share in the recycling project. Knowing where the money came from, she chooses to rip the check up.
