* IAmNotWeasel: "The Gnu Song" has two references to g-nus (that's the way they say it in the song) objecting to being confused with "similar" animals like bison, okapis and hartebeests. One even threatens to sue.

* ShaggyDogStory: In ''At The Drop of a Hat'', Flanders introduces the song "The Gnu" with a story about a car that always parks in front of his house, forcing him to park further uphill (thus making it an even bigger struggle to get between his car and his wheelchair) - a car with the registration number GNU 655. Apart from containing the word "Gnu", it has nothing to do with the song, as Flanders happily lampshades.

* ImAHumanitarian: "The Reluctant Cannibal" is about a young man who doesn't want to join the rest of his tribe in eating people. Being from 1956, it has a political edge to it, satirizing the Cold War. His father, "the chief assistant to the assistant chief", declares that refusing to eat people can only lead to even more disruption, like not making war.
