* ShipTease: While Milhouse's crush on Lisa is a longstanding element of the show, this episode is actually the first time she seems charmed by him at the end. She even kisses him, though partially because she felt guilty for interfering with his relationship with Taffy.
* UnrequitedLoveSwitcheroo: Milhouse attempted a declaration of love to Lisa, who rejected him. Taffy actually thought the act was cute and they started dating, which in turn made Lisa jealous because Milhouse was no longer showing her any romantic attention (she struggles picking up her own books because Milhouse usually does it for her).

* {{Bowdlerize}}: In-universe. Milhouse is such a wimp, that his mother censors out the prelude for ''WesternAnimation/FindingNemo'' where Coral and most of her unborn children are eaten (offscreen) by a barracuda. When he gets a chance to watch the prelude for the first time, he reacts as if Coral was ''raped'', and it takes the fire brigade to pull him out from underneath the sofa.
