Synopsis [ ]

In this, the fifth Treehouse of Horror (and the first one to not have a framing device and the last one to have Marge's viewer advisory introduction and the funny tombstones), The Simpsons house-sit for Mr. Burns and Homer comes down with a nasty case of murderous cabin fever in "The Shinning", Homer's attempt at fixing the toaster takes him back in time where anything he does in the past affects the future in "Time and Punishment", and the Springfield Elementary School staff resort to cannibalizing the students as a means to solve their food budget and class overcrowding crises in "Nightmare Cafeteria".

The logo for this episode.

Marge appears and explains to viewers how scary this Treehouse of Horror episode is. She then gets a letter from Congress saying this episode is so scary that it could not be shown on TV. Instead, they intend to show an old movie called 200 Miles to Oregon . The movie is then cut off and Bart 's voice is used in radio waves to tell us that he is controlling the programming. Homer also cuts in and plays with the radio waves using his voice, much to Bart's annoyance. Bart manages to introduce the episode. During the intro, Moe Szyslak hangs himself, Patty and Selma , disguised as witches, are burned at the stake, but still light their cigarettes one last time, and Bart beheads Principal Skinner. After that, a lightning bolt flashes to the couch, where The Simpsons were built as a Frankenstein’s monster with each other's body parts, and they swap heads until they match closely.

The Shinning [ ]

The Shinning - Title Card

"The Shinning" Title Card.

In a parody of the late Stanley Kubrick's 1980 horror classic The Shining , the family is hired as caretakers of Mr. Burns ' summer estate. On the way, Homer is forced to drive all the way back home to lock the front door to the house, and on the second drive, he is again forced to turn around to go and lock the back door to the house. On the third drive, Lisa points out that they left Grampa behind, but everyone ignores her and Homer keeps driving. Upon arriving, Burns takes them on a tour of the house. He tells them the long, colorful history of the house. It was built on an ancient Indian Burial Ground (like the Overlook Hotel in The Shining ) and was the setting of Satanic rituals, witch burning, and five John Denver Christmas specials. (Homer feels a chill when the last fact is mentioned.) An elevator opens up and blood spills out all over the floor (like in The Shining ), but Burns only comments, "Usually the blood gets off at the second floor."

While outside, Bart 'discovers' a 'shortcut' through the hedge maze using a chainsaw to cut his way through, infuriating Groundskeeper Willie and reads his thoughts. Willie tells him that he has "the shinning". Bart corrects him as it is 'the Shining' but Willie simply shushes him, warning him that they don't want to get sued. He then tells Bart to use his 'shin' to call on him if his father should go insane.

The Shinning - 77

"This is less encouraging."

In the meantime, Mr. Burns and Smithers cut the cable for television and remove all the beer. Burns believes it will make Homer more efficient at his job but Smithers worries that this is what caused the previous caretakers to go insane and kill their families, but Burns just bets him a Coke and they leave.

The Shinning - 91

No TV and no beer make Homer go crazy!

The Shinning - 126

"Heeeere's Johnny!"

The lack of television and beer prompts Homer to go insane. He attempts to occupy himself, first suggesting he'll go look at the axe collection the mansion has and then going to the bar where Moe , as a ghost, says he will only let him have a beer if he murders his family. Homer is at first hesitant to the notion of murdering his family and questions Moe, who responds that they would be much happier as ghosts. Later Marge goes downstairs looking for Homer and discovers a typewriter with paper in it. Marge reads it, seeing that Homer has typed "Feelin' fine", which she finds is a relief. However, lightning flashes in the room, revealing that Homer has written "No TV and no beer make Homer go crazy" all over the lounge. Homer then barges in through a door, startling Marge. He says he only needs a title for what he was typing. She recommends "Go crazy?" and Homer snaps, lunging for her. She rushes towards a conveniently placed case containing a baseball bat (labeled "Break glass in case of spousal insanity") and swings it at him as he follows her up the stairs. Homer makes a hideous face at her, but then foolishly looks in a nearby mirror and scares himself silly, falling down the stairs and knocking himself unconscious. Marge locks him in the pantry, saying he'll stay there until he regains his sanity and grabs some canned chili to make for dinner. Later, Homer has calmed down and happily eats. Moe reminds him of their deal on the other end of the pantry door. When Homer refuses to comply ("Can't murder now, eating!"), Moe and the gang of ghouls (including Freddy Krueger , Jason Voorhees , Dracula , the Mummy, the Wolfman , and Pinhead) carry him out against his will.

While the family is eating dinner, Homer breaks down a door with an axe ("Heeeere's Johnny!"), only to find the room vacant (a " D'oh !"). He breaks into another room ("Daaavid Letterman!"), only to find Grandpa (another " D'oh "). And finally into the right room with a stopwatch in his hand ("I'm Mike Wallace, I'm Morley Safer, and I'm Ed Bradley! All this and Andy Rooney tonight on 60 Minutes !") and grinning evilly, prompting his family to scream in terror and flee to escape the rampaging Homer. After Marge attempts to contact the police to no avail, Bart uses his "shinning" to call Willie to help. Willie immediately rushes to assist, dropping his tiny, portable TV in the snow. When he bursts into the mansion, he immediately gets an axe in the back by Homer (his first time being axed in the episode). Homer grabs another axe from the collection hanging on the wall and pursues the family outside into the snow and is ready to kill them until Lisa discovers Willie's TV radio in the snow. Homer immediately sinks to his knees to watch Kent Brockman on Channel 6 News. The return of television restores his sanity. He calls his family to sit in the snow with him to "bask in television's warm, glowing, warming glow" and they freeze while watching. However, Bart tells Homer to change the channel when the announcer informs them that the upcoming programming will be The Tony Awards , hosted by Tyne Daily and Hal Linden, Homer replies, "Can't. Frozen!" As the theme music plays, they all scream in terror, and Homer says, "Urge to kill... rising..."

Time and Punishment [ ]

Time & Punishment - 71

"What the hell are YOU smilin' at?"

Time & Punishment - 143

The Simpson family home resembling a retro-style (and oldest surviving) McDonald's restaurant in Downey, California.

In a parody of A Sound of Thunder , Homer is sitting down at the table, eating breakfast with the family, commenting that despite his troubles, where he feels that he is a really lucky guy sitting down with them in their cozy home in this beautiful free country. Lisa characteristically spoils the mood by yelling at Homer saying that his hand is stuck in the toaster, and Homer frantically attempts to free it. He succeeds and throws it across the room, but Bart alerts him that his hand is in the toaster again, causing another panic to free it. Homer attempts to fix it using the tools in the basement. He test-toasts it, and modifications to the toaster turn it into a time machine, and Homer is teleported into a time-travel continuum. Homer travels back to the time of the dinosaurs and discovers that touching anything will affect the future. However, when he accidentally kills a mosquito, he returns to find out that Flanders is the unquestionable lord and master of the world.

After escaping his "Re-Neducation" (a process that includes a glass of warm milk, a lie-down, and a total frontal lobotomy), he goes back to the time of the dinosaurs in hopes to resolve the future and is immediately attacked by a Tyrannosaurus Rex. Homer flees but seals the fate of another timeline when he sits on and kills a walking fish after miraculously avoiding everything else in his path. He returns only to discover that Bart and Lisa are giants that mistake him for a bug, then try to smash him.

His second attempt to resolve the past succeeds in him wiping out all the dinosaurs by sneezing on the T. Rex, who in turn sneezes on a Stegosaurus, which also sneezes on another dinosaur and so on, and they all fall like dominoes while the pterosaurs drop from the sky, causing him to grimly remark "This is gonna cost me". Homer returns to the future in the basement. He goes upstairs to discover a large, fancy kitchen. His family greet him; in this timeline, Bart and Lisa are well behaved, the family is wealthy, in possession of a brand new Lexus and are about to attend the funeral of Patty and Selma that day. Homer counts these perks on his fingers and is ecstatic and believes he's hit the jackpot until he is shocked to discover that donuts don't exist in this timeline. He runs back to the basement and the sound of the time machine zapping is heard. After he is gone, donuts begin to fall from the sky and Marge says, "It's raining again," implying that donuts are the rain in this timeline.

Homer returns to his basement and repeats the process, now discovering Groundskeeper Willie in his kitchen. Willie attempts to help Homer, but he suddenly screams and falls dead, showing that Maggie has killed him with an axe (his second time being axed in the episode). Maggie takes out her pacifier and says in the deep, distinctive voice of James Earl Jones , "This is indeed a disturbing universe."

Upon returning to the dinosaur era, Homer goes on a mad bender. Holding a club, he destroys anything in the past that he can before returning to the future. The family's house in the present ends up changing multiple times (as well as Kang and Kodos 's heads being replaced with Mister Peabody and Sherman). Homer finally stops and returns to the present. He returns to the kitchen and asks Marge three questions: his name, the color of the sky, and what are donuts. Marge answers them all accurately. Homer, now satisfied, sits down to eat with the family. Everything appears to not be what it seems when the family begins eating a breakfast with snake tongues, but Homer gives in, stating that it is close enough and settles in with this universe.

Nightmare Cafeteria [ ]

Nightmare Cafeteria - Title Card

"Nightmare Cafeteria" Title Card.

In a parody of [ Soylent Green ], the pretty and beautiful boy Bart suggests that his class turn their desks away from the door before his teacher Mrs. Krabappel arrives. The students all support the idea, but when Mrs. Krabappel enters the room, only Bart's desk is turned away from the door, and she sends Bart to detention. When Bart arrives at the detention room, the strict Principal Skinner approaches him, requesting him to spend his detention in the cafeteria as the detention hall is becoming dangerously overcrowded with students. Meanwhile, in the cafeteria, Principal Skinner expresses himself worried that a critical amount of students are in detention. the annoyed Lunchlady Doris berates him, saying that because of the latest budget cuts, she is reduced to serving Grade F meat (composed of circus animals and filler) in the cafeteria.

Nightmare Cafeteria - 56

"Isn't there a little Üter in all of us?"

Principal Skinner discovers a common solution to their problems: eating the detention students. The bully Jimbo Jones trips Lunchlady Doris, accidentally spilling stew all over his clothes. Skinner tastes the stew, and is impressed with the Jimbo/stew combination. Skinner instructs Jimbo to assist Lunchlady Doris in the cafeteria, and Jimbo is assigned to clean a large pot when meat tenderizer is spilled on him. Eventually, the lid is closed and Jimbo is killed and cooked, ending up being served as a "Sloppy Jimbo" in the teachers lounge and the cafeteria. Everyone likes the new dish, especially the teachers. In the cafeteria, Bart realized Jimbo hasn't beaten them for their lunch money as usual. Suddenly, Üter cuts in line for another Sloppy Jimbo, and Skinner after noticing how fattening Üter has gotten immediately sends him to detention.

The girly Lisa becomes suspicious when Üter disappears and is served as "Üterbraten" in the cafeteria. Lisa asks Bart if he finds that to be strange. Skinner, overhearing the conversation, says he's got a "gut feeling" that Üter is still around, and asks, "Isn't there a little Üter in all of us?", and then says "You might even say we just ate Üter and he's in our stomachs right now!" Skinner then backpedals, telling Bart and Lisa and to "scratch that one," but it is too late: Now they all think that something is up.

At home, Bart and Lisa try to tell their mother Marge what is happening at school, but Marge does not believe them. She says since they are now eight and ten years old that she could not be fighting all of their battles for them, punishing them until they understand.

Bart and Lisa reluctantly return to school the next day and see more students arrive in "permanent detention", and the remaining students have all been merged into one class, taught by a now-noticeably obese Mrs. Krabappel , stuffed from a recent meal. Only Bart, Lisa, Milhouse , Ralph and Wendell remain. The kids are scared naturally, enough that Wendell starts shaking his desk, 'cause he knows he is dead meat. When Wendell's pencil rolls off his desk, Mrs. Krabappel gleefully sends him to detention. Milhouse sees her reading a book titled The Joy of Cooking Milhouse , and suggests to Bart and Lisa that they should make a run for it, since any one of them could be next, with only Ralph left behind.

Nightmare Cafeteria - 101

Hungry teachers.

The trio rush down the hall and observe Martin and other kids cringing in hamster cages with Skinner keeping an eye on them. The trio is then intercepted by Lunchlady Doris, who rushes at them with a spinning eggbeater. Groundskeeper Willie attempts to come to their rescue, but is instantly killed by Skinner striking him in the back with an axe, (his third time being axed in the episode) retorting on how he fails at rescues before collapsing. Skinner and Doris advance on the three remaining students, and they are immediately cornered on a ledge above a giant food processor, which Skinner turns on and switches to the "Gooify" setting. But as they are forced closer to the edge, Bart tells Lisa and Milhouse not to worry and says that something always comes along to save them. Milhouse falls into the food processor and is instantly "gooified," killing him. Bart changes his statement to "Something will come along and save the two Simpson children." No rescue comes, however, and Bart and Lisa fall over the edge into the rapidly spinning blades of the food processor, killing them as well.

Nightmare Cafeteria - 91

Evil Lunchlady Doris.

Immediately after falling into the processor, Bart screams and wakes up only to discover it was all a dream. Marge reassures him that there is nothing to worry about except the mysterious fog that turns people inside out. The fog then seeps in through the window and does just that (interestingly, the drawings of the skinned characters show a discontinuity in the bottom area suggesting an earlier version of the animation was retouched so to erase the buttocks). The family and Grounskeeper Willie all begin to do a musical number (to the tune of "One" from A Chorus Line ) about being turned inside out. At the end, Santa's Little Helper drags Bart offstage by his intestines and devours him.

Original air date: 10/30/1994

Production code: 2F03

  • The Shinning : When the Simpsons are summoned to care for Mr. Burns' winter resort, Homer comes down with a nasty case of Kubrick -esque cabin fever.
  • Time and Punishment : Homer goes back in time and causes a temporal butterfly effect for every prehistoric animal he kills.
  • Nightmare Cafeteria : After juvenile delinquency skyrockets and school lunch budgets fall, Springfield Elementary devises a grisly approach to solving both problems.

This episode contains examples of:

  • Homer, quite literally, in "The Shinning". He uses his ax to murder Willie before attempting to use it on his family.
  • The entire school faculty in "Nightmare Cafeteria". By the end of it, most of them seem to be incapable of speech to the point that Skinner axes Willie in the back when the latter tries to rescue the kids.
  • This conversation when the teachers first start eating the "sloppy Jimbos": Edna: Mmmm! This sandwich tastes so young and impudent! Seymour, what's with the good grub? Skinner: Well, perhaps I should let you folks in on a secret. Remember how I told Jimbo Jones I'd make something of him one day? Edna: (stunned) : Are you saying you killed Jimbo, processed his carcass, and served him for lunch? (Skinner taps his nose to indicate "yes") Edna: ...HA! (Everyone continues eating, unfazed)
  • Yet another example, when Homer is fleeing from Overlord Flanders' attack dogs, he pulls out a string of wieners, as though he's going to throw them to the dogs , but then exclaims they will give him the "quick energy" he'll need and devours them himself. He immediately gets a speed boost and escapes.
  • The beginning of "Time and Punishment" has Homer mysteriously getting his hand caught in the toaster and freaking out as he tries to get it out. When he finally accomplishes this, he relaxes in victory... only for Bart to inform him that it's in the toaster again and he continues to freak out as he battles it a second time.
  • In "The Shinning", when Homer goes crazy, Marge threatens him with a bat much like the source material (the bat in question found in a glass case labeled "Break Glass In Case of Spousal Insanity"). Averted in that Homer never actually gets hit with the bat; instead, he accidentally looks in a mirror while making a scary face, and his reflection scares him so bad he falls down the stairs and knocks himself out.
  • In the finale of "Time and Punishment", Homer returns to the past with a baseball bat so he can hit everything he sees and help change the future for better or worse. Homer: Don't touch anything?! I'LL TOUCH WHATEVER I FEEL LIKE!
  • Moe and the other ghouls of The Shinning have to drag Homer out of the food pantry because he's too busy eating to carry out his revenge.
  • The teachers become this in "Nightmare Cafeteria", and by the end of the segment, they are sending kids to detention (read: slaughter) for occurrences that couldn't possibly be their fault. Edna, in particular, has grown obese by the end of the special, having eaten so much.
  • Bloodier and Gorier : In response to critics who said the Halloween specials were too bloody and gory, Matt Groening urged writers to make this episode the bloodiest and goriest "Treehouse of Horror" ever, which is why the beginning had Marge stating that the whole episode was going to be banned and replaced with an old Western movie about a train. For context, this is the first episode where at least someone dies in all three segments.
  • Breather Episode : "Time and Punishment", while definitely not devoid of any creepy moments, is more comedy-oriented than the stories before and after, and the ending sees the status quo more or less reaffirmed as opposed to a Downer Ending .
  • The family accidentally leaves Grandpa behind at the gas station on their way to the lodge. During Homer's second attempt to reenact the famous "Here's Johnny!" moment from The Shining , Grandpa shows up at the lodge with his suitcase.
  • At the end of "The Shinning", the Simpsons get frozen and helplessly watches the Tony Awards, where "One" from A Chorus Line is being performed. Later, at the end of "Nightmare Cafeteria", upon being turned inside-out, the family, along with Groundskeeper Willie, sing their own disturbing version of "One".
  • Willie tries to save someone in trouble in each short and gets an axe in his back each time. When this happens for the third time in the episode in "Nightmare Cafeteria", his dying words are "I'm bad at this".
  • At the beginning of "Time and Punishment", when he first time-travels, Homer encounters Mr. Peabody and Sherman, with Mr. Peabody scolding Sherman for talking. Later on, Kang and Kodos get turned into Mr. Peabody and Sherman after laughing at Homer's time-travelling, and Kodos (turned into Mr. Peabody) scolds Kang for asking how that happened.
  • Butt-Monkey : Groundskeeper Willie keeps getting axed In the Back and gets turned inside out in the credits sequence.
  • Comedic Sociopathy : This special tests the levels of Black Comedy much further than the previous ones. High points include a beer and television-deprived Homer trying to kill his family, an Evil Overlord Flanders lobotomising Springfield residents, the school staff eating their students, Groundskeeper Willie being murdered thrice , and the family performing a jolly musical number... while turned inside out... and completely ignoring Bart being eaten by Santa's Little Helper.
  • Couch Gag : The family are built à la Frankenstein’s monster with each other’s body parts.
  • Creative Closing Credits : The Simpson family and Groundskeeper Willie (who have turned inside out by toxic gas) singing a new version of "One" .
  • Darker and Edgier : This particular "Treehouse of Horror" is far more disturbing and violent than the previous specials which, while appropriately dark, still had some comedy and occasional happy endings to balance out the horror.
  • Dissonant Serenity : During the final scene, the Simpson family and Groundskeeper Willie still happily sing and dance as Bart is dragged offscreen getting eaten by Santa's Little Helper.
  • Do Not Adjust Your Set : The beginning is hijacked by Bart taking control of the transmission, then ruined by Homer being... Homer . Homer: What's that, boy? We're in control? Hey, look, I can see my voice! (starts making silly noises) This… is my voice… on TV! Bart: DAD! You're ruining the mood!
  • "The Shinning" ends with the Simpsons all stuck frozen together watching TV in the snow and, being unable to change the channel or escape, Homer's insanity returns and his urge to kill rises again.
  • "Nightmare Cafeteria" ends with all the children except Ralph dead, and because of the stupidity of the townsfolk (if Marge is anything to go by) the cannibal teachers get away with mass murder. Good thing it was just a nightmare . And then the fog that turns people inside out gets in through the windows and Santa's Little Helper drags Bart off-screen to eat him...
  • Dying to Wake Up : In "Nightmare Cafeteria," after the teachers become cannibals and have eaten most of the students at Springfield Elementary, Bart, Lisa, and Milhouse get chased across a plank above a giant blender. After Milhouse falls in, Bart assures Lisa that ssomething or someone will save them from their predicament, only for them to fall - whereupon Bart wakes up in his bedroom and is told by Marge that he was having a nightmare.
  • End of an Age : This was the last instance of the graveyard opening. Future THoH openings would get much more creative.
  • Made even worst that Homer does this two times in a row with the same toaster and hand.
  • Bart apparently didn't notice he was the only one who followed his suggestion of everyone in class turning their desks to face backwards. Edna : Alright, backwards boy, back your butt down to detention.
  • The first Treehouse of Horror episode that didn't have a framing device for each story Note (1 had Bart and Lisa trading scary stories in the treehouse; 2 had Bart, Lisa, and Homer having nightmares from eating too much candy, 3 had the scary stories told at the Halloween party, and 4 had the Night Gallery motif with Bart introducing the stories) . The most it has is Bart and Homer taking control of the TV at the beginning; otherwise, the three stories weren't set up beforehand like the previous THOH episodes.
  • Despite still being a Halloween Episode , this is the first to not feature Halloween in any capacity. The Simpson family and Groundskeeper Willie do say "Happy Halloween!" at the end of their closing song.
  • Grave Humor : There is a gravestone in the intro reading "Amusing Tombstones", alluding to the fact that this is the last Treehouse of Horror special to use them.
  • In the Back : Groundskeeper Willie gets axed in the back three times throughout the special.
  • Homer does this when he goes crazy. The DVD Commentary discusses this trope extensively.
  • In "Nightmare Cafeteria," Edna pulls a hungry-looking one off ( complete with an unsettling closeup ) when Wendell drops his pencil during class. That accident is enough reason for her to send him off to detention — and soon enough, her stomach.
  • Leaning on the Fourth Wall : One of the tombstones from the opening sequence is for "Amusing Tombstones". This was the writers' way of showing that they were tired of coming up with ideas for humorous tombstone messages. Similar sequences had been used as introductions in all four previous "Treehouse of Horror" episodes, but have not been used since this episode.
  • Negated Moment of Awesome : All of Willie's Big Damn Heroes moments result in him getting an axe to the back.
  • When the frozen Simpsons are forced to watch The Tony Awards. Homer: Urge to kill... rising... [Maggie looks at him. Cuts to black]
  • Milhouse has this expression when he sees Mrs. Krabappel reading "The Joy Of Cooking Milhouse."
  • Recycled Animation : The opening shots of the pan to Springfield Cemetery are four years old, having been first used for the original Treehouse of Horror and reused for every one since, and it is quite jarring when the opening sequence cuts to new footage. (This was the last time they were used.)
  • Running Gag : Willie taking an axe to the back while trying to rescue someone in all three segments . Willie: Ach, I'm bad at this...
  • Running Gagged : The Grave Humor in this episode ends with a tombstone for "Amusing Tombstones". They don't appear in future Treehouse of Horror installments.
  • The opening Do Not Adjust Your Set is from The Outer Limits .
  • Time and Punishment lifts its plot largely from A Sound of Thunder .
  • Homer runs into Mr. Peabody and Sherman while time-traveling.
  • Ned Flanders' TV screen emerging from the floor is animated like the T-1000 in Terminator 2: Judgment Day .
  • The title Nightmare Cafeteria is a reference to Nightmare Cafe .
  • Those helping Moe drag Homer out of the storeroom are Dracula , a Wolf Man , a Mummy , Freddy Krueger , Jason Voorhees and Pinhead .
  • Homer's first arrival in prehistoric times spoofs the first scene featuring dinosaurs in Jurassic Park . It even plays a few bars of the movie's theme (or a close facsimile) just to make sure you get it.
  • Homer follows his "Here's Johnny" bellowing with " David Letterman " and the 60 Minutes opening.
  • Homer's line "Oh, I wish, I wish I hadn't killed that fish." paraphrases "I Wish I Were a Fish" from The Incredible Mr. Limpet .
  • When Homer travels in time after destroying everything in the past there's a montage of the Simpson house turning into various things, including an igloo, a Sphinx with Bart's head and The Flintstones ' house.
  • The shot from inside the refrigerator of Homer opening the door, seeing that there's no beer and commenting "Not a drop in the house" is a direct recreation of Wallace doing and saying the same thing while looking for cheese at the start of A Grand Day Out .
  • The smile hooks allude to the eyelid openers in A Clockwork Orange , also used as part of a brainwashing program.
  • Homer has a truly disturbing one mixed with his Kubrick Stare when he finally does find the right room his family's in.
  • Principal Skinner has this when he is advancing on Bart in the Nightmare Cafeteria episode.
  • Special Guest : James Earl Jones as Alternate Timeline!Maggie, who axes Willie when the latter tries to help Homer back to his own world. "This is indeed a disturbing universe."
  • They Killed Kenny Again : Groundskeeper Willie is given this treatment throughout the special. The only time he doesn't get killed is at the end, albeit having his skin turn inside out.
  • Moe and the other ghouls in "The Shinning" want Homer to kill his wife and his three kids, even Maggie who is a baby .
  • In "Time and Punishment", Ned Flanders has no qualms about lobotomizing ten-year-old Bart and eight-year-old Lisa.
  • The whole premise of "Nightmare Cafeteria" is that the faculty members have no problem in killing and eating elementary school students.

The Shinning

  • And I Must Scream : As the Simpson family huddle together by the tiny television's " warm glowing warming glow ", hours pass to reveal they're frozen stuck together to Homer who begins to grow homicidal again due to the Tony Awards playing on the TV. Bart: (through frozen teeth) Homer, change channel! Homer: (through frozen teeth) Can't! Frozen! Marge, Lisa, Bart and Maggie: ( scream together through teeth ) Homer: Urge to kill...rising!
  • Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking : Mr. Burns' lodge was built on an Indian Burial Ground , and was host to several witch burnings, Satanic rituals, and five John Denver Christmas specials. Homer is only creeped out by John Denver.
  • Artistic License : With the exception of May 1992 note  And September 2021 the Tony Awards have been in June since 1977.
  • Blatant Lies : Moe's ghost, when trying to convince Homer to murder his family. Homer: Why should I kill my family? Moe: Uh... they'd be much happier as ghosts. Homer: You don't look so happy. Moe: Oh, I'm happy! I'm very happy! La la la la la, see?
  • Brick Joke : Early on in the segment, the family realized they forgot to bring Abe Simpson with them, but are too far along to turn back to get him. Much later on in the segment, after suffering intense levels of Sanity Slippage , Homer inexplicably finds him during one of his attempts to parody the "Here's Johnny!" scene and off his family.
  • Cabin Fever : Unintentionally enforced by Mr. Burns, who cuts off television and beer before leaving, causing Homer to go mad.
  • Comically Missing the Point : Marge, in regards to Willie being axed in the back (the first time). Marge: Oh my! ...I hope that rug was Scotchgarded.

simpsons time travel toaster

  • "Could Have Avoided This!" Plot : Smithers brings up the possibility that maybe cutting off the TV and beer supply are what's caused all the previous caretakers of Burns' lodge to go mad and kill their families. Burns isn't too concerned. Mr. Burns: Tell you what: We come back and everyone's slaughtered? I owe you a Coke.
  • Decomposite Character : Danny Torrance's part from The Shining is split between the Simpsons children. Bart has the titular psychic power, Lisa sees the waterfall of blood spilling out of the elevator, and Maggie spells out "REDRUM" with her blocks.
  • Fantastically Indifferent : Mr. Burns, in regards to the elevator full of blood. Mr. Burns : Hmm, that's odd... usually the blood gets off at the second floor.
  • Food as Bribe : More like "Alcohol as Bribe". Moe's ghost tells Homer that he'll give him beer if he kills his wife and kids.
  • For the Evulz : Moe and the other ghouls who get Homer to kill his family never have any credible reason for wanting Homer to do so.
  • Harmless Freezing : The family doesn't seem to be any worse for wear after they get frozen together, aside from the fact that they can't change the channel on the TV and have no choice but to watch the Tony Awards.
  • Hedge Maze : Obviously. Bart "finds" a shortcut with a hedge trimmer.
  • "Here's Johnny!" Homage : Inevitable, with this being a Shining parody. It takes Homer a couple of tries before he finds the right door. Homer : Heeeeeeeeeeere's Johnny! (the room turns out to be empty) "D'oh!" Homer : Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaavid Letterman! Abe : Hi, David! I'm Grampa! Homer : D'oh! Homer : (holding a stopwatch) I'm Mike Wallace, I'm Morley Safer, and I'm Ed Bradley! All this and Andy Rooney tonight on 60 Minutes! Marge, Bart, and Lisa : AAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!
  • Homage Derailment : It appeared as if they were going to directly parody the famous typewriting scene of "all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy"... but then it's revealed that Homer only wrote "feelin' fine". Until lightning strikes and reveals that the whole room has "no TV and no beer make Homer go crazy" written on the walls, floor and ceiling.
  • In Case of X, Break Glass : Homer goes insane after being forced to go a long time without TV or beer. Marge runs across a glass case that says, "In Case of Spousal Insanity, Break Glass", where she finds a baseball bat.
  • Jump Scare : The lightning strike suddenly illuminating the room and revealing "NO TV AND NO BEER MAKE HOMER GO CRAZY" daubed all over the walls , to Marge's shock.
  • Karma Houdini : Burns and Smithers suffer no consequences for cutting off beer and TV, driving Homer insane and leading to the deaths of the Simpson family and Groundskeeper Willie.
  • Lawyer-Friendly Cameo : Groundskeeper Willie refers to Bart's newfound psychic power as "the Shinning" for fear of copyright infringement.
  • Loser Buys Lunch : As the Simpsons settle into their accommodations: [Smithers cuts the cable cord, and packs the beer into Mr. Burns' car] Mr. Burns: Yes, by cutting off cable TV and the beer supply, I can ensure an honest winter's work out of those lowlifes. Smithers: Sir, did you ever stop to think that maybe it was doing this... that caused the previous caretakers to go insane and murder their families? Mr. Burns: Perhaps. Tell you what, we come back and everyone's slaughtered, I owe you a Coke.
  • Madness Mantra : "No TV and no beer make Homer go crazy!", written all over the walls of his office. Homer: So what do you think, Marge? All I need is a title. I was thinking along the lines of "No TV and no beer make Homer something something". Marge: "Go crazy"? Homer: DON'T MIND IF I DO!
  • Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane : Like the movie it's parodying, it's ambiguous if there really is a malignant force in Mr. Burns' winter resort that drives its caretakers insane and makes them murder their families (in this case as a bunch of ghouls led by Moe's ghost), or if it's all just a hallucination cooked up by Homer's dwindling TV-and-beer-deprived mind. But like the movie, someone had to had let him out.
  • Mirror Scare : Homer does this to himself.
  • Monster Mash : Unlike in The Shining (which kept things somewhat ambiguous), Homer is blatantly dragged out of the pantry by Moe's ghost, the Mummy, the Wolf Man, Dracula, Jason Voorhees, Pinhead, and Freddy Krueger. They also appeared in a deleted scene showing them hiding in the rooms watching Bart.
  • Motor Mouth : Homer does a parody of the opening of 60 Minutes , super-fast.
  • "The Shinning"'s take on the typewriter scene: when Marge approaches it, only one thing is written on it: "feelin' fine". But then the lightning flashes, and we see the expected line ("no TV and no beer make Homer go crazy") all over the room .
  • Similarly, with the ending: instead of Homer freezing to death outside, the portable TV snaps Homer out of his insanity, prompting him to gather his whole family around it. One jump cut later, we see that the whole family was frozen solid (but are still alive with Homer showing signs of insanity again when The Tony Awards start up).
  • Not-So-Harmless Villain : Even when he becomes an Ax-Crazy murderer, Homer is as bumbling as ever. He acts more like a noisy loon than a credible threat, knocks himself out, and has trouble finding the family when he embarks on his rampage. But Homer does manage to kill Willie, showing that he is indeed still very dangerous.
  • The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything : The Simpsons were summoned to care for Mr. Burns' winter lodge, but we don't see them doing any work.
  • Police Are Useless : When Homer starts chasing the family, Marge tries radioing the police. Since Wiggum is manning the radio, he just takes her saying "over" as meaning the rampage is over, and turns it off.
  • Psychic Powers : "The Shinning". Although they don't do much good.
  • Rivers of Blood : The Shining bit was parodied: Mr. Burns : Hmm, that's odd. Usually, the blood gets off at the second floor.
  • Room Full of Crazy : Instead of typing out his Madness Mantra ad nauseum like Jack did, Homer instead writes it all over the walls and ceilings.
  • Rule of Three : Along with the aforementioned Running Gag , The Shinning takes great joy with this, with the family having to make three long trips to the hotel due to Homer failing to lock up their home and Homer doing three variations of the "Here's Johnny" routine due to him axing down the wrong hotel door.
  • Sanity Slippage : Homer himself does so when the cable stops working and they run out of beer, all thanks to Mr. Burns. Homer : So what do you think, Marge? All I need is a title. I was thinking along the lines of "No TV and no beer make Homer something something"... Marge : Go crazy? Homer : Don't mind if I do!! ( proceeds to go crazy )
  • Slasher Smile : Homer gives a particularly grisly one when he breaks down the first door, rivaling even Jack Torrance's twisted Nightmare Face .
  • Sold His Soul for a Donut : Homer is perfectly willing to kill his family for a beer from the ghost of Moe. That being said, when he finds a portable TV, he's perfectly fine abandoning his murderous vendetta since he can now freely indulge in his other denied obsession.
  • When Mr. Burns lists all the horrific things his lodge is connected to, he also mentions John Denver Christmas specials. It's the last one that makes Homer shudder in horror.
  • To the Tony Awards. Homer: Urge to kill...rising.
  • Homer sees the ghost of Moe, and acknowledges that he's a ghost, and yet sees nothing odd about this situation, only demanding beer from him.
  • Only Lisa seems put off by the blood coming from the elevator.
  • What Happened to the Mouse? : Grampa arrived at the hotel just in time for Homer's Ax-Crazy rampage, but Homer seemed more intent on killing his wife and kids, though it's possible Homer killed him during the cutaway to chopping through the next door...either that, or it was just a one-off gag.
  • Whole-Plot Reference : To The Shining , of course. Willie: Ya read my thoughts! Ya got... the Shinning ! Bart: You mean "shining" . Willie: Shh! Ya wanna get sued ?!
  • You Wanna Get Sued? : Willie provides the Trope Namer .

Time and Punishment

  • Accidental Time Travel : When Homer breaks the toaster and tries to fix it, he accidentally creates a time machine that sends him back to prehistoric times when he tests it.
  • Achievements in Ignorance : Homer manages to build a Time Machine by failing to repair his toaster.
  • Affably Evil : Even as an Evil Overlord who forces lobotomies on anyone suspected of dissidence, Ned Flanders maintains his friendly and chipper demeanor. Then again considering he was the devil in the previous ToH ... Ned : Hidely-ho, slaverinos!
  • Anachronism Stew : "Time and Punishment" not only had Jurassic and Cretaceous dinosaurs living together , but also Permian Dimetrodon and a Pleistocene Megatherium .
  • Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking : When Homer seemingly returns to his own time, he asks Marge what his name is, the color of the sky, and about donuts, Marge answers, "Homer! The sky is blue! Donuts are plentiful! And Friday night is TGIF night on ABC!" The last one basically came out of nowhere as Homer didn't ask anything about that.
  • Artistic License – Biology : The part where Homer accidentally caused the extinction of the dinosaurs by sneezing on one is humorously true and false . On one hand, it is true that the dinosaurs would have no familiarity with human diseases, so it would be reasonable to assume that our modern diseases would be have disastrous consequences for prehistoric life. On the other hand, even if that was the case, it would take an inconceivably powerful microbe to wipe out a group of animals as diverse as the dinosaurs and other such prehistoric critters.
  • As You Know : “Don’t you remember, Dad? Flanders is the unquestioned lord and master of the world.”
  • Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever : When Homer returns to his home after killing a fish, he sees that Bart and Lisa are both giants who believe that Homer is a bug. Homer eventually escapes.
  • Awe-Inspiring Dinosaur Shot : When Homer first arrives to prehistoric times, he and the viewers are treated to a majestic view of various herbivorous dinosaurs grazing in their natural habitat. Homer : I've gone back to the time when dinosaurs weren't just confined to zoos!
  • Bad Future : Most of the futures Homer ends up creating. Zigzagged with the "perfect" reality: the Simpsons family is rich, the kids are well-behaved, Homer has a luxury sedan, and Patty and Selma are dead... except Homer discovers to his horror that donuts apparently don't exist in this timeline, which causes him to immediately freak out and head back to the past to try another timeline. Immediately after he leaves, donuts start falling from the sky.
  • Big Brother Is Watching : In the first alternate timeline that Homer goes to, Flanders is now the ruler of the world and if anyone complains about him, Flanders will send them to a "Re-Neducation" center.
  • Big "NO!" : Homer, upon seeing his family have been lobotomised.
  • Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick : What the "Re-Neducation" process entails: Ned: Now, in case all that smiling didn't cheer you up, there's one thing that never fails: a nice glass of warm milk, a little nap, and a total frontal lobotomy.
  • Butterfly of Doom : Homer squishing one mosquito creates a totalitarian society run by Ned. Attempts to fix this lead to weirder changes.
  • The Cameo : Sherman and Peabody show up twice in this segment. Once to correct Homer that he isn't the first non-Brazilian to go through time and the second when they suddenly swap bodies with Kang and Krodos.
  • Close-Enough Timeline : The Trope Namer ; Homer comes back to his own reality where donuts are plentiful and Friday is TGIF night on ABC, but everyone (except Homer) has long, lizard tongues that they use for eating. Rather than try to go back to his normal time, he says "Eh, close enough," and starts eating along with the family.
  • Creepy Monotone : Everyone who's been Re-Neducated. Bart & Lisa: Join us, father. Marge: It's bliiiiiiisss .
  • Delayed Reaction : Homer's reaction to collapsing on the kitchen floor in relief only to find out he's somehow jammed his hand stuck in the toaster again.
  • Disaster Dominoes : Occurs when Homer sneezes on a T-Rex, causing the extinction of all dinosaurs. Homer : This is gonna cost me.
  • Evil Sounds Deep : In one universe, Maggie's voice has dropped a few octaves when she starts speaking. Hilariously she's voiced by James Earl Jones.
  • Failed a Spot Check : The whole plot begins because Homer doesn't notice his hand has gotten stuck in the toaster.
  • Fantastic Aesop : When Homer accidentally travels back in time, he quickly recalls what Abe told him on his wedding day. Abe : If you ever travel back in time, don’t step on anything! Because even the tiniest change can alter the future in ways you can't imagine!
  • Faux Horrific : Of all the timelines Homer visited, he absolutely freaked in the timeline where no one knew what donuts were.
  • Felony Misdemeanour : One person merely being a "negative nelly" is grounds for an entire family to be subject to Re-Neducation.
  • Floating Clocks : This episode used to provide the page picture, where Homer accidentally travels to prehistoric times with a malfunctioning toaster.
  • Gave Up Too Soon : Homer stumbles upon a world that seems perfect via time travel (his family is wealthy, his kids are well-behaved, he has a luxury sedan, and his sisters-in-law recently died). However, when he finds that Marge doesn't know what a donut is, he screams in horror and runs down into the basement to go back in time again. No sooner has Homer slammed the basement door shut behind him, before Marge then notes that it is raining again as donuts fall from the sky . Even David Mirkin felt bad for Homer here.
  • Happiness Is Mandatory : In the universe ruled by Ned Flanders, anybody suspected of being negative is immediately taken for "re-Neducation".
  • Inexplicable Language Fluency : When Homer is sent back in time to a prehistoric era, and has to avoid stepping on anything to change the future, he ends up swatting a mosquito then asks for reassurance that it won't change the future. He is understood despite being in an era before English existed, since a sloth behind him shrugs and grunts as if to say "I don't know."
  • In Spite of a Nail : For all the changes Homer creates through time travel, his family is still together and live on the same property. Eventually, he gets to a Close-Enough Timeline .
  • "Join Us" Drone : Marge, Bart and Lisa drone this to Homer after they've been lobotomized.
  • Laser-Guided Karma : Kang and Kodos mock Homer for being unprepared to deal with time-travel. After a good ten seconds laughter at his expense, they're turned into Mr. Peabody and Sherman as a result of Homer's actions.
  • Lobotomy : Ned Flanders is an overlord and several of his subjects get lobotomised. Homer is horrified.
  • Lost Food Grievance : In the alternate universe where his family is rich, Homer is horrified to find out that no one knows what a donut is. He then leaves, and no sooner after he has done that, donuts start falling from the sky. Marge: [annoyed] Hrrm, it's raining again...
  • Mood Whiplash : The segment begins with Homer saying how happy and lucky he is to have a loving family like the Simpsons while they all enjoy a nice breakfast. Then Lisa screams that his hand is in the toaster and Hilarity Ensues .
  • Noodle Incident : The beginning of "Time and Punishment" has Homer call himself the first non-Brazilian person to travel through time. note  Originally, Homer was going to say "non-fictional", but the Fox execs thought that term might be confusing since "non-fiction" is also a genre, so it was replaced with "non-Brazilian", but even the writers don't know what that means.
  • Our Time Machine Is Different : Homer accidentally creates a time-travelling toaster while trying to repair one he smashed to bits after getting his hand stuck in it.
  • Overly Long Gag : Kang and Kudos laughing at Homer's time travel for half a minute before morphing into Sherman and Mr. Peabody as karma.
  • Rage Breaking Point : After three or four bad changed timelines, Homer goes back with a wooden club and just starts angrily smashing everything in sight and killing all the wildlife he can. Homer : Don't touch anything...?! I'll touch whatever I feel like!
  • Rain of Something Unusual : Homer sneezes on a dinosaur and changes the course of history - which makes rain into donuts. This would have been perfect for him, except he leaves just before it rains because in that timeline nobody knows what a donut is.
  • How the hell did Homer get his hand stuck in the toaster a second time, when he clearly threw it across the kitchen when he managed to get it off the first time? Was it possessed?
  • What does Homer mean by "the first non-Brazilian person" to travel through time? note  The line was originally "non-fictional" but was changed for unknown reasons Who from Brazil has travelled through time before?
  • How does Willie know Homer is not in his timeline? How is he even aware of his time travels and the changes he caused? How exactly was he gonna help Homer?
  • Evidently, so does Willie.
  • Smart Ball : Homer actually does make a concerted effort not to do anything in pre-history that would change the future rather than blow off his dad's advice. Actually pulling that off is harder than it looks, unfortunately.
  • Someday This Will Come in Handy : For some reason, Grandpa Simpson gave advice about time-travel at Homer and Marge's wedding.
  • Squashed Flat : While he is fleeing from a Tyrannosaurus , Homer jumps over every flora and fauna in his way to avoid crushing them, but when it looks like he's in the clear, he accidentally sits on a walking fish and squishes it flat. Later during his furious rampage in the distant past , Homer does this to a passing lizard. He graphically stomps on it twice ; crushing its spine the first time, and the second causing its eyeballs to pop out of its skull and its side to split open, leaking yellow vital fluids.
  • After his first trip through time, Homer goes upstairs to see the family and say "Nothing's changed!". That's when he learns that "Flanders is the unquestioned lord and master of the world".
  • When Homer travels back to prehistoric times the second time, he declares that this time he's not going to touch a thing. Cue a Tyrannosaurus attacking and sending him fleeing, ending with him squishing a walking fish.
  • Terrifying Tyrannosaur : A Tyrannosaurus tries to eat Homer during his second trip to prehistoric times. And again in his third trip, only for him to sneeze on it and infect it and the other dinosaurs with a deadly virus.
  • This Is Gonna Suck : "Time and Punishment" has Homer repeatedly bouncing from his current time to the prehistoric era, and was told about the butterfly effect and its dangerous effects on the timeline. Even minor infractions such as accidentally killing one insect or animal lead to disaster...but when Homer sneezes and inadvertently causes the extinction of the dinosaurs , all Homer can forlornly get out is, "Thiiiiiiis is gonna cost me..." At another point in the same episode, Homer is trying desperately to avoid touching anything , seemingly succeeds and sits down in relief... on top of a lungfish. "Oh I wish, I wish, I hadn't killed that fish!".
  • Time Travel Episode : Homer somehow turns a toaster into a time machine and ends up in the Mesozoic, where he messes up the present by his actions there. Naturally, Hilarity Ensues when he attempts to fix it.
  • Twitchy Eye : Maggie's left eye twitches repeatedly as she says "This is indeed a disturbing universe" (voiced by James Earl Jones ).
  • Vocal Dissonance : Exaggerated for comic/horror effect with Maggie, who in one of the alternate timelines speaks in the deep booming voice of James Earl Jones.
  • Wham Shot : When Homer sits down for breakfast, the Simpsons are revealed to be eating their meal with long lizard tongues in this altered universe. Despite his initial shock, Homer is otherwise unfazed by it and continues eating with the rest of his family. Homer: ( nonchalant ) Eh, close enough .

Nightmare Cafeteria

  • Adults Are Useless : Marge, and presumably all the other parents in Springfield, refuses to help Lisa and Bart with the cannibalistic faculty running their school. Even when Bart and Lisa outright tell her what's going on, the only thing she tells them to do is to tell their teachers not to eat them . It can be justified though, since it's all Bart's nightmare.
  • All Crimes Are Equal : The teachers soon look for any excuse to send students to detention, such as dropping a pencil in class.
  • All Just a Dream : Bart finds the events of "Nightmare Cafeteria" were just a dream. Marge assures him he has nothing to fear except the fog that turns people inside out.
  • Angry Item Tapping : Principal Skinner is seen tapping a ruler against his hand in outside a crowded detention room.
  • Balloon Belly : Edna doubles in weight from glutting on cooked children.
  • Black Comedy Cannibalism : In "Nightmare Cafeteria", the teachers of Springfield Elementary solve both the underfunding of the school cafeteria and the overcrowding of the detention room by serving misbehaving students in the cafeteria. Principal Skinner: Oh, relax kids. I've got a gut feeling Uter's around here somewhere. ( starts to laugh ) After all, isn't there a little Uter in all of us? ( laughs harder ) In fact, you might say we just ate Uter and he's in our stomachs right now! ( Beat ) Wait. Scratch that one .
  • Body Horror : The fog that turns people inside-out turns everyone inside-out.
  • Borrowed Catchphrase : Upon cornering Bart and Lisa, Skinner tells Bart he's going to start, as Bart's so often suggested, by "eating (his) shorts."
  • Captivity Harmonica : While being caged in the detention room waiting for his inevitable death alongside other students, Martin plays the Harmonica. Skinner tells him to stop it.
  • Cassandra Truth / Exactly What It Says on the Tin : The fog turns people inside-out, dogs (or at least Santa's Little Helper) seem to be immune.
  • Crashing Dreams : The end of "Nightmare Cafeteria".
  • Demoted to Extra : After being the main character of the previous two shorts, Homer only appears and has one line at the end of the short after it was revealed that it was all Bart's nightmare.
  • Edna sends Bart to detention just for turning his desk backwards.
  • Skinner put Yellow Weasel in detention for making a paper airplane.
  • Edna has gotten so caught up in her Horror Hunger that she gleefully sends Wendell to detention when his pencil falls off his desk because of his terrified trembling.
  • Does This Remind You of Anything? : While Skinner laments eating the students, many of his remarks sound similar to that of a stereotypical child molester.
  • Downer Ending : After Bart, Lisa and Milhouse eventually find out the staff is eating the kids, they run but get cornered over a giant blender. Bart expects a Deus ex Machina citing Improbable Infant Survival ... and Milhouse promptly falls in. "Nevertheless," Bart says undeterred, "I remain confident that something will come along and save the two Simpson children ." Of course, nothing comes to save them, leading to the siblings falling into the blender. Luckily It Was All Just A Dream .
  • Evil Has a Bad Sense of Humor : Skinner demonstrates an incredibly malicious sense of humour, constantly cracking food-related puns.
  • Evil Teacher : The Springfield Elementary staff become cannibals and starts eating the students.
  • Fat Bastard : Mrs. Krabappel becomes both utterly heinous and obese as she becomes obsessed with eating more children.
  • Fattening the Victim : Having grown addicted to eating Springfield Elementary's students, Krabappel instructs her students to eat sticks of butter for homework so she can gain richer meals.
  • Faux Affably Evil : Skinner's usual square nature actually adds to his creepiness throughout "Nightmare Cafeteria".
  • Foreshadowing : The fact that Marge Simpson acted so indifferent to Bart and Lisa's plight makes more sense when it's revealed the segment was All Just a Dream . If this segment took place in reality, Marge would've heard them out and issued a complaint to the school immediately, nevermind the school being investigated from parents concerned for their missing kids, and at best getting fined for multiple massive health & safety violations, or straight up shut down at worst when the truth got out.
  • Gainax Ending : To "Nightmare Cafeteria" and the episode as a whole; the segment turns out to only be a nightmare, but suddenly a mysterious fog that turns people inside out... turns the family inside out . They (and Groundskeeper Willie) then burst into a musical dance number over the end credits.
  • Gory Discretion Shot : Milhouse meeting his gruesome end in the giant blender in "Nightmare Cafeteria". We can still hear the blades gooifying him, though.
  • Heävy Mëtal Ümlaut : The "OKTOBERFEST" sign in Nightmare Cafeteria has umlauts over the "K" and one of the "T"s.
  • I'm a Humanitarian : The Springfield Elementary faculty members become this in order to kill two birds with one stone (to solve the food budget crisis in the cafeteria and to deal with the excess of delinquents and troublemakers in the school).
  • I Ate WHAT?! : Bart and Lisa are horrified to learn that the mysterious new food they've been enjoying at school is actually their missing classmates cooked by the teachers. Averted with the teachers, Edna in particular, who are shocked at first of what happened to Jimbo but then go back to eating like cannibals.
  • Improbable Infant Survival : Invoked by Bart at the end, but to no avail. Then it turns out it was all a dream... only to get turned inside out by the fog that turns people inside out , be dragged by the intestines by Santa's Little Helper and then eaten alive off-screen.
  • Ironic Echo : As he has Bart cornered, Skinner tells him that he's going to enjoy devouring him, starting with " eating his shorts ". Naturally, Bart is completely terrified .
  • Karma Houdini : Skinner and the other faculty members are able to get away with mass murder and cannibalism of children because of the citizens' stupidity (as seen with Marge , who did nothing but tell Bart and Lisa to tell their teachers not to eat them ). Only because it's All Just a Dream .
  • Kick the Dog : Skinner rips into Uter when he gets yet another helping. Then he realizes it's a good thing that the already obese Uter is getting fatter... Skinner : Now that's your third helping, young man! It's making you fat, and soft and... ( begins drooling when he notices how fat Uter is ) tender...
  • Kill the Poor : Springfield Elementary decides to deal with its overcrowded detention hall by serving them for lunch.
  • No Sympathy : Yellow Weasel : Oxygen... running out. Skinner : Yes, you should have thought of that before you made that paper airplane!
  • Not Now, Kiddo : Marge's response to Bart and Lisa telling her that they're cooking kids in the school cafeteria ? Send them back there to deal with their cannibalistic teachers by themselves because they are old enough to solve the problem on their own and "[she] can't fight all [their] battles for [them]".
  • Overly Narrow Superlative : Jimbo says "Oh no, my favorite outfit!" after he gets sauce spilled on him. That's actually his only outfit.
  • Saying Too Much : By Skinner when Uter disappears. Lisa: Bart, does it strike you as odd that Uter disappeared and, suddenly, they're serving us this mysterious food called "Uterbraten"? Skinner: Oh, relax, kids, I've got a gut feeling Uter is around here somewhere. ( chuckles ) After all, isn't there a little Uter in all of us? ( chuckles ) In fact, you might even say we just ate Uter and he's in our stomachs right now! ( laughs ) Wait... scratch that one.
  • School Is Murder : In a younger version of the trope, the staff of Springfield Elementary decides to get rid of troublemakers by sending them to detention, where they are then killed and turned into next week's cafeteria menu . When Bart and Lisa tell Marge what's happening, she refuses to help. Bart and Lisa: Mom! Mom! You've gotta help! They're cooking kids in the school cafeteria. Marge: Listen, kids. You're eight and ten years old now. I can't fight all your battles for you. Bart and Lisa: But Mom... Marge: No buts! You march right back to that school, look them straight in the eye and say " Don't eat me ".
  • The Secret of Long Pork Pies : You don't wanna know what's in the mystery meat surprise...
  • Song Parody : The song during the credits, "One (Chorus Line of People)", is a parody of "One (Singular Sensation)" from A Chorus Line .
  • Specific Situation Books : Edna is reading " The Joy of Cooking Milhouse ". The cover has a picture of Milhouse in a cooking pot. Milhouse: Hey, you guys, I have a feeling any one of us could be next , so what do you say we make a break for it?
  • Swiper, No Swiping! : Marge tells Bart and Lisa to tell the teachers not to eat them in order to get them to stop their cannibalisitc deeds.
  • Temporary Bulk Change : Toward the end, Edna is shown to be quite fat, implying that she's been chowing down on a lot of children...
  • Token Good Teammate : Groundskeeper Willie is the only staff member who tries to stop the others. Unfortunately, he's as successful as the other two shorts .
  • Too Dumb to Live : Unsurprisingly, Jimbo doesn't think anything is amiss when ordered to clean the inside of a giant pot while Lunchlady Doris covers him in meat tenderizer.
  • Took a Level in Dumbass : Does Marge really believe that Bart and Lisa telling their teachers not to eat them is going to work? Justified since it's all Bart's nightmare.
  • Unwitting Instigator of Doom : If Jimbo hadn't made Lunchlady Doris trip, the sauce would probably not have spilled all over him and Skinner wouldn't have gotten the idea of killing, cooking, and eating the students.
  • Villainous Glutton : The Springfield Elementary staff start finding any excuse to send students to detention, and therefore their dinner plates. If Edna's anything to go by, they've already chowed down on most of the student body.
  • Wrong Genre Savvy : Bart maintains a stubborn belief in his Plot Armor even after watching Milhouse die, stressing that something has to come along to save himself and Lisa, "the two Simpson children." He doesn't seem to realize that this is a non-canon Halloween Episode where Anyone Can Die , meaning that even after the story turns out to be All Just a Dream , he's still out of luck .
  • Yank the Dog's Chain : Just when it seems like Bart is about to be killed and eaten, he wakes up to see it was All Just a Dream . Then he gets sprayed by a gas that turns him inside-out, and Santa's Little Helper drags him off to eat him.

  • In "The Shinning", Homer becomes crazy when he can't have any beer or watch TV. The Simpsons family try to protect themselves from him with Bart's "Shinning". In "Time and Punishment", Homer gets his hand stuck inside a toaster and ends up going back in time, which doesn't turn out great. In "Nightmare Cafeteria", Bart and Lisa find out the school's staff are cooking and eating children. — UM
  • The Simpsons are employed on Mr. Burns's country estate-and Homer goes insane. And act two, Homer's attempt to repair a toaster lead him repeatedly back into the past-and he inadvertently changes the future. And the final act, the school cafeteria turn to an unusual source of food-and schoolchildren start mysteriously disappearing. — Tiff Banks
  • Marge warns that the episode is frightening and children should not watch it, but her message is hijacked by a radio transmission from Bart who plays the episode anyway. But Homer makes funny noises and ruins the mood. The Shinning The Simpsons go to Mr. Burns' mansion in the mountains to become its caretakers. Before he leaves, Mr. Burns cuts off the television and beer supply, believing that without these distractions this will ensure hard work from the family. While there, Groundskeeper Willie discovers that Bart has the power to read his thoughts and that if Homer goes insane, he should use this to call him. The absence of his two favorite things sends Homer insane and a ghostly Moe makes a deal with him that he'll give him some beer if he kill his family. Homer makes good on his promise by making crazy noises and faces, then charges Marge. She runs over to a glass case enclosing a baseball bat, breaks the glass, and grabs it, threatening Homer. He warns her to give him the bat by backing her slowly up some stairs. She swings it at him as he continues to ask her for it. Eventually he laughs and calls her a scaredy-cat, making hideous face. Catching sight of his own hideous face in a mirror cause him to faint with fright and fall down the stairs, unconscious. Marge hauls his body into a cold storage room, leaving him there with until he's back to normal. She then grabs a can of Chili to cook for her family. Soon after Homer wakes up and is in heaven, stuffing his face with food. However, that is short lived as Moe and his gang of ghouls(consisting of a vampire, a werewolf, a mummy, Freddy Kruger, Jason Voorhies and Pinhead) all drag him out of the storage room to finish the job. He then begins chasing the family with an axe and Bart uses his powers to call Willie, who runs to the family's rescue dropping his portable television in the snow but Homer kills him by stabbing him in the back with the axe. Homer chases his family outside into the snow and just as he is about to strike them, Lisa picks up the portable television that Willie dropped and shows it to him. With access to television again, Homer's insanity gradually fades. The family sits in the snow to watch with him and eventually freeze. As the Tonies begins Bart tells Homer to change the channel but Homer reminds the family that they are frozen. As the family watch the Award Show helplessly, Homer informs them that his urge to kill is rising. Time and Punishment While trying to fix a broken toaster, Homer accidentally turns it into a time machine. It transports him to prehistoric times where he realizes that if he affects anything in the past, he could cause changes in the future. He kills a mosquito before returning to the present and finds a dystopia where Ned Flanders is now a world dictator. Homer travels back in time again to try to set things right. However, he accidentally kills a fish, and after returning to the present he finds Bart and Lisa are giants. He then infects the dinosaurs with a cold virus and wipes them out. He is initially pleased with the results in the present; Bart is polite, the family is wealthy and Patty and Selma are dead. However, he is horrified to find that Marge does not know what a donut is (although when he leaves, it is revealed that in this world it rains donuts). In another world, Willie tries to help Homer, but is stabbed in the back by an axe (again) by a talking Maggie. After several more trips back and forth in time, Homer eventually arrives in a reality that appears normal. However, he finds that humans eat with frog-like prehensile tongues, but decides it is close enough. Nightmare Cafeteria Principal Skinner is worried that the detention hall is becoming overcrowded and Lunchlady Doris is being forced to serve Grade F meat in the cafeteria. Skinner discovers a common solution to both problems: eating misbehaving children. The first such student is Jimbo Jones who is served as "Sloppy Jimbos". Üter is then sent to detention and made into a German meal called "Üterbraten". Bart and Lisa figure out what the teachers are doing, but one by one, the kids are gradually eaten away. The kids try to get Marge to help, but she gives them advice, "look them straight in the eye, and say 'don't eat me'" . Eventually Bart, Lisa and Milhouse are the only students left and they decide to escape. Skinner and the other teachers corner them on a ledge above a giant operating blender. Willie tries to save them, but Skinner kills him (Willie [after stabbed], "Oh, I'm bad at this"). Milhouse, Bart, and Lisa fall to their dooms. Ending segment Bart wakes up to find that the last segment was all a dream. But a strange and unexplained case of fog turns the family inside out. They enjoy it and start a chorus number with (an also inside out) Willie. At the end of the song, Santa's Little Helper comes into the dance number, and bites a helpless Bart by the leg. Bart is unable to fight his dog and is dragged off screen, screaming (it is presumed he is possibly eaten).

Time travel toaster 2017 and the conform-o-meter.

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

The Time Travel Event is set to leave our games today, so now is still a great time to look back at how all of the items added for this event impact our Conform-O-Meters.  Especially since this event brought LOADS of items to Springfield…

The Conform-O-Meter is an important part of Tapped-Out because it provides you with a bonus boost in your cash and  XP from everything you collect in the game.  When you achieve a 5-Star Town (it’s max rating) you will receive a 5% bonus on all money and XP collected in your town.  If you missed the previous Conform-O-Meter posts check  here for the basics  and  here for how many points you’ll need to reach 5 stars .

While the Time Travel event brought no changes to the Conform-O-Meter requirements, it did bring a bunch of buildings and decorations.  So let’s take a look at how all of the new “goodies” impact our rating: Continue reading →
