Nazis on Tap is a short that was originally set to air after "Bart the Daredevil" but was abandoned in the early stages. According to The Simpsons Archive, audio was recorded for the short, characters were designed and it was "maybe storyboarded". According to an inside source that sent information to The Simpsons Archive, the short was "almost an in-joke, between Gracie Films and the animation studio." TV Guide originally reported that a short would air after "Bart the Daredevil" which was reportedly a surprise to the producers.
