Corrected entry: When Homer is in the hanging noose his arm is stuck in a tight position. The next shot shows the rest of the family and when we cut back to Homer, he is suddenly free of the noose completely! That is impossible for a normal person to escape that quickly - only a master escape artist could do that. (00:34:30 - 00:35:20)

Correction: "Normal person" being the operative words there, which Homer is not. Homer did have one arm free; he could have grabbed the rope above the noose and pulled himself up, loosening it to the point where he could pull his head and trapped arm out. Since all of this takes place off camera it is pure assumption to say that he could not have freed himself.
