While running visual jokes in ''The Simpsons'' are rarely referred to by the content of the show itself, in the episode "]", Bart says that he had written on the chalkboard so many times that his hands sound like a cement mixer. In another episode, Bart asks for a detention but Ms. Krabappel said they all got tired of that years ago, referencing the dropping number of gags in the openings. |

Lisa has been punished with the chalkboard on the episode "]". As she writes, she complains, "How does Bart do this every week?" |

In the early days of the series, a chalkboard gag was used in almost every episode, but, as ] time has increased, they have gradually disappeared. They are now shown as rarely as twice per season. The show's producers have said that they may soon disappear altogether. However, they seem to be making a comeback as there were eight blackboard gags during season 17 including three in a row during the last three episodes of the season. |
