729 - Habeas Tortoise

• Marge wants to let Homer share some of his crazy ideas with other people who think the tortoise was stolen since they don't think he's dumb.
  Marge: Bart, you're always saying his ideas are dumb. Lisa, you're always proving it. Just let them have this. It's not like they're hurting anyone.
  Homer: So, it's agreed. We'll protest outside the zookeeper's house until she admits what she did with Leonard.
  Mel: I'll bring the gas masks in case they use tear gas. (Bart and Lisa stare at Marge, who has to shrug)
• Homer tries to extol the good parts of his conspiracy group, only for the family to be distracted by something.

  Bart: Like in our kitchen?
  Homer: Right, like in our...uh oh.

• During Marge and Homer's bike ride home, we see Kirk burning down the bike shop.

731 - Lisa the Boy Scout

• From a meta perspective, the episode taking a jarring twist from the supposed plot to having random clips play due to a Anonymous-like group trying to blackmail Disney is funny.
• One of the clips has Bart travel back from the future to tell the family in the pilot episode everything that's gonna happen.
  Future Bart: The 2016 Nobel Prize winner in Economics is Bengt Holmstrom
  Homer: Why would anyone care if we predicted that?
  Future Bart: I don't know, but they will.
  Marge: Do you have anything more… impressive?

732 - The King of Nice

• Bart doesn't care about Krusty revamping his show as he has tons of classic Krusty available via streaming, over 700 of them.
  Bart: Hmm, kind of makes you think. Once you have enough episodes of any classic show, why do you need to keep making more?
  Lisa: Well, the reason is...
  Bart: Shh, watching classic Krusty
• Marge arrives home to find that the family has set up an intervention. Then Moe steps out of the bathroom and asks Marge to come in again before dropping the subject.

• In the new universe, Homer runs the bar in town and wonders if everyone else is still a loser. Moe is a successful heavy metal ventriloquist, Carl is an astronaut and Marge is a CEO who married Comic Book Guy. Carl's reveal is the funniest.

• Another change for the universe: Bart is a well-behaved genius while Lisa is a rule-breaking skater.
  Bart: I won an award for my presentation on Elizabeth Cady Staton.
  Lisa: I tossed a stink bomb in the teacher's bathroom and ran away after locking the door.
  Marge: Aw, kids, I'm so proud of one of those.
• Homer tries to rally the adult Losers, but accidentally says too much.

As such, Lisa has to come up with a bunch of random ways to die when she tries to kill off the entire board of directors of a company. Some higlights include parachute doesn't open, toilet gator, pulled into jet engine, toilet lion, drowning in chocolate fountain and literal death by embarassment.

• Wiggum decides to abandon Krusty when he's about to be discovered by Fat Tony, telling Lou to add him to a memorial wall. We then see it's the station wall covered with names.
  Wiggum: Don't give me that look, Lou. I told you we needed a bigger wall!

750 - Homer's Adventures Through the Windshield Glass

• The chalkboad gag has Bart write that he will not try to cram 750 characters into the opening. The episode then proceeds to do just that in celebration of its 750th episode. It ends with some one-shot and rare characters in the Simpsons' living room.
  Homer: Who the hell are these people?
• Homer starts kicking objects in anger, including cans and trash. When he sees Martin with a kick-me sign, he grabs the sign off and puts in on Martin's lunchbox before kicking that.
• Homer is so angry at the beginning, he's speaking gibberish. This does let him communicate with the Crazy Cat Lady though.
  Cat Lady: (in gibberish) I feel like someone finally understands me.
  Homer: (in similar gibberish) I'm not what you're looking for but I wish you well.
• Bart and Lisa already knew about the money Marge was receiving.
  Bart: I was blowing off steam one day, when I learned Mom was getting $100,000 a month.
  Lisa: Then Bart showed it to me, and I explained how decimal points worked (reveals its only $1,000).
• Homer realizing he's been impaled and is basically dead is disturbing. Ralph's comment on the situation brings it back to funny.
  Ralph: I'm going to see this in every dream now.
• Homer manages to commit all seven deadly sins in between his crash and dying.
• Homer thinks he's gone to Heaven, but is really in Fire and Brimstone Hell. Only it takes forever for him to figure this out.
• The Stinger is Lizzo and Homer recording their lines. When it comes to Homer getting slapped, Bart insists that they do it live and offers to do it for Lizzo. Lizzo and Lisa then jam to the rhythm of Bart slapping Homer.
