** As noted below, Homer confuses Ron Howard with both Anson Williams and Ron Palillo.

* AcquiredSituationalNarcissism: Homer finds parasailing to be ''so'' much fun, it makes him rather cocky. Apparently, [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS5E15DeepSpaceHomer becoming an astronaut and flying into outer space]] just wasn't good enough for him. [[NegativeContinuity Then again]], [[JustifiedTrope this is Homer]] we're talking about, [[IdiotHero who doesn't have the best memory]].
