* LostInTranslation: For non-North American audiences outside the U.S. and Canada, and less degree, Mexico, the whole joke about the western Christians doing proselitism in an Indian airport could be lost since it's a flip of the stereotype about the Hare Krishna sects doing the same thing in American and Canadian airports.[[note]]In Mexico, however, while the sect is somewhat known, doing any kind of proselitism in airports, even at the time period when that episode was broadcasted there, is strictly forbidden there, and thus, they normally work in the streets instead.[[/note]]

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The Kwik-E-Mart is robbed and Apu is shot... but ''not'' by Snake, but a generic robber. Snake already existed at this point, but he wasn't yet the writers' go-to-robber he later became.

* JerkToNiceGuyPlot: Before this episode, Apu was pretty much an impossibly cheap grocer who didn't care for his customers (Homer's food poisoning wasn't the first incident between the Simpsons and the Kwik-E-Mart). After being fired, however, he atoned for his old behavior and his character became a hard-working, patriotic BollywoodNerd from this point.
