* BitingTheHandHumor: When Homer checks his stock numbers for Animotion, he shouts, "Yahoo!" which a voice-controlled program translates to "Website/{{Yahoo}}", and then says, "Huh?

* InstantlyProvenWrong: Marge tries to reassure Lisa by telling her that her missing crayon could be anywhere, and Homer hasn’t necessarily put it into his brain to regain his stupidity. Homer then crashes through the window and makes some extremely stupid statements.

Removing irrelevant pothole, this is just "they mentioned Disney before Disney bought Fox."


** When Smart Homer walks the streets looking for a place for smart people, he passes by places catering to idiots and morons, like Lunkheadz, The Dum-Dum Club and ([[HilariousInHindsight ironically]]) the Disney Store.

** Ozmodiar, the GreatGazoo {{Expy}} from [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS8E24TheSimpsonsSpinOffShowcase The Simpsons Spin Off Showcase]] briefly appears twice during this episode, once after Bart says cartoons do not have to make sense, and once more after all the employees are laid off from the plant.

** After the surgery to remove the crayon off his head, Marge asks Homer if he feels smarter, to which he replies "[[IsTheAnswerToThisQuestionYes Is the capital of North Dakota "Bismarck"?]]". This could refer to [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS2E2SimpsonAndDelilah Simpson and Delilah]], where that question was given in a game show and, the clue being that it was "named after a German ruler", Homer's tentative answer was "[[AllGermansAreNazis Hitler]]".
* ContinuitySnarl: Just only a few years ago, the episode ''Recap/TheSimpsonsS9E17LisaTheSimpson'' aired which offered a CerebusRetcon as to why Homer and Bart were dumb, namely that "The Simpsons Gene" that exists on the Y-Chromosone turns all men in the family into twits, while the women were safe due to their X-Chromosone. By contrast, this episode now establishes that Homer is an oaf due to a Crayon in his brain and that when said Crayon is removed, Homer regains his intelligence.
