*ArtisticLicenseBiology: A "kidney blowout" due to holding in urine for a long time is physically and medically impossible, as the kidneys (much like the liver) is just a filter that makes body waste. If any organ in the urinary tract was going to suffer from having too much urine in it, it would be the bladder (and he would have pissed himself before dying of sepsis).
*ContinuitySnarl: Grampa is said to have two functional kidneys, but in "Old Money"[[note]]the season two episode where he dates a woman named Bea who dies and leaves him all her money, which he uses to make the Retirement Castle a better place[[/note]], he told Bea he had one kidney (unless he meant one that was functioning).
*EvenEvilHasStandards: The Frenchman may have stolen his accordian (actually a concertina) from a blind monkey, but, he (and the other passengers on the ''Ship of Lost Souls'') would never dream of leaving their fathers to die in the hospital after promising them a kidney.
**Neither would Bart, a boy once hailed as "America's Bad Boy."
*{{Jerkass}}: A lot of viewers hated this episode, as it showed Homer at his most selfish (bailing during his father's kidney transplant operation). Even the other characters said so.
