"As with almost all Simpsonian humor, though, the simple sight gag is rarely as straightforward as a mere vaudevillian pratfall or Stoogeian eye gouge. Consider, for example, Homerapos;s efforts to dispose of a troublesome trampoline of his recent acquisition in Episode 1F05("Bartapos;s Inner Child"), which gives rise to one of the showapos;s most overt and inspired tributes to the Warner cartoons. There are several gags in the sequence, but the most impressive has Homer taking the trampoline to the edge of a cliff and simply tossing it into the deep crevice below. We watch it plummet into a decidedly Wile-E-esque desertscape, where it impales itself on a rocky spike and then sproings Warnerly back the way it came. Homer, meanwhile, gloats over a job well done, even as the trampolineapos;s shadow falls over him. It slams down upon him and bounces up and down on his head, hammering him into the ground"
