After Edna showed the sex-education film Fuzzy Bunny's Guide to You Know What to her class, Nelson Muntz asked why she and Mr. Krabappel didn't live together. Edna angrily replied, "Because Mr. Krabappel chased something small and fluffy down a rabbit hole", referring both to the film's characters (Fuzzy Bunny and Fluffy Bunny) and to her ex's unfaithfulness.[2]
Mr. Karabappel once put sugar in the gas tank of Edna's car after they got divorced.[3]
