      When Mr. Burns and Smithers fall off the roof of the kitchen (after Homer has eaten 64 slices of cheese), Marge is heard gasping, but her lips remain in a smile.
    • Quotes

      Smithers: Here are several fine young men who I'm sure are going to go far. Ladies and gentlemen, the Ramones.

      Mr. Burns: Ah, these minstrels will soothe my jangled nerves.

      Joey Ramone: I'd just like to say this gig sucks!

      Johnny Ramone: Hey, up yours, Springfield!

      Joey Ramone: One, two, three, four!

      [the Ramones start playing a tune and singing "Happy Birthday"]

      Joey Ramone: Happy birthday to you!

      Johnny Ramone, Christopher Ward: Happy birthday!

      Joey Ramone: Happy birthday to you!

      Johnny Ramone, Christopher Ward: Happy birthday!

      Joey Ramone: Happy birthday, Burnsey! Happy birthday...

      Joey Ramone, Johnny Ramone, Christopher Ward: ...to you!

      Christopher Ward: Go to hell, you old bastard!

      Marky Ramone: Hey, I think they liked us.

      Mr. Burns: Have the Rolling Stones killed.

      Smithers: But sir, those aren't the...

      Mr. Burns: Do as I say!

    • Alternate versions
      In the episode "Rosebud" four scenes were cut out when shown in Australia. The scenes are: When Mr. Burns' guards charge the guests at his party with machine guns; When Barney comes to The Simpsons door threatening Homer with a gun; Where Homer gives Maggie a box to play with and takes it away from her; and the later reference to this when Homer is in bed wearing a box on his head.

    A Kane of Citizens
    This is a parody of Citizen Kane. Mr. Burns leaves his family as a child to live with a rich man. He becomes the jerk he is now. Instead of the sled, Burns lost Bobo, his Teddy Bear. The episode involves his efforts to get the bear back (held by Maggie Simpson). Of course, no money is made.
