• Lovejoy's Secret: Reverend Lovejoy shows Marge footage of Abe's prophetic outburst taken by the church's secret-surveillance system ("Here's the money shot," he exclaims). Curiously, this scene was excised solely to piss off a single Lovejoy-obsessed fan on the Internet.

• Gumble's Gamble: Barney drinks a lot of beer and belches really loudly.

• Oscar Wild: In Alaska, the Simpsons watch the Oscars. After The Contrabulous Fabtraption of Professor Horation Hufnagel fails to win Best Picture, Homer proclaims that the judges are just "a bunch of old Jewish socialist queers." Lisa looks at the camera and says, "Except for ones who judge the Best Animated Feature category!" and winks.
