** He later strangles Dream!Bart while yelling "Get out of my dreams and into my wife!!"

** Also Charbonneau was French Canadian, not French.

* ADateWithRosiePalms: Edward VI (Bart) suggests Henry can't sire a boy because of excessive masturbation.
-->'''Henry VIII''': Oh my boy, why can't I have you?\\
'''Edward VI''': I dunno, too much jerkin' your merkin?\\
'''Henry VIII''': [[RunningGag Why you little]]!

** Elizabeth I did not become queen directly after Henry's death. Edward VI and Mary I, also known as Bloody Mary, reigned in between them.

* StartMyOwn: This is how the Anglican Church was born.

* Artistic LicenseHistory: Sacagawea's husband Toussaint Charbonneau didn't get killed by her brother in real life. In fact, he passed away in 1843 at age 76.

* BigEater: Henry VIII. UpToEleven since during his song he claims to have been eating since dawn and for dessert will have another dinner.

-->'''Tweedleburger''': Oooh, I'm dying...but at least people will always remember the expedition of Lewis and Clark and Tweedleburger!

* AdaptationalVillainy: Though loosely based on ''Amadeus,'' which subjected Salieri to a HistoricalVillainUpgrade, the short's version of its league is worse--she doesn't just try to sabotage Mozart's career; she actually murders him.

[[/folder]]

* TooDumbToLive: Tweedleburger eats poisoned berries soon ''after'' Sacagawea warns him about them being poisoned.

* AccidentallyCorrectWriting:
** Henry (Homer) tells Princess Mary (Lisa) to "grow a penis or get lost!" After a few minutes of straining, Lisa gives up on the attempt. While this is obviously a silly scene, some people in this time period thought that the uterus, vagina, and ovaries basically ''were'' an inside-out penis and testicles and that excessive physical activity ''could'' cause them to fall out on rare occasions. Anatomy was a pretty new science back then.
** Henry's fifth wife says "You didn't dump me, I dumped you!" seconds before being beheaded. The real Henry's fifth wife, Katherine Howard, did have an affair with one of Henry's courtiers, and legend has it that she declared on the scaffold that she would rather have died as ''his'' wife.

* TemptingFate: A dying Tweedleburger (Otto) tries to find comfort in the fact he'll be remembered alongside Lewis and Clark.

* VillainousBreakdown: Having Mozart's reputation destroyed and indirectly murdering him, Salieri looks as through she will finally gain the respect she desires. But seeing the Emperor with Beethoven destroyed all her remaining sanity.
