* HumiliationConga: Homer's first visit to New York resulted in him getting robbed of his belongings, trash dumped on him, chased by an angry pimp, and crashing in a sewer. His return is no better as his parked car continues to accumulate an absurd number of parking tickets and getting a boot installed on the wheel.

* BerserkButton: New York City is one big one for Homer as his first experience there in his youth [[HumiliationConga left a very bad impression on him]]. His revisit to the city to retrieve his car was still a horrible experience for him as misfortune after misfortune kept piling on Homer. He just wanted to leave the place as fast as he could.

** When Homer gets to the top of the North Tower, its 360 ft. TV antenna is missing, which is noteworthy because it's visible in all other shots. This could be a goof by the animators. Also per RuleOfFunny, Homer has to go all the way up to the observation deck just to use the restroom.

* TheBigRottenApple: Early on, Homer sums up his feelings on New York: "Nothing good has ever come out of New York City! [...] New York is a hellhole, and you know how I feel about hellholes!" He then reveals his hostility to the place is due to a previous visit during the 70s when this trope was in full force: [[TraumaCongaLine a guy stole his camera, a pickpocket stole his wallet, a police officer stole his suitcase, a pigeon stole his hot dog,]] Creator/WoodyAllen dumped garbage on his head, and he got chased through the streets by an angry pimp until he fell in a sewer.

** When Homer reaches the top of the (original 2 WTC) South Tower, he discovers the men's restroom is out of order. He has to travel back down to the ground, run across the plaza, and go up the (original 1 WTC) North Tower. When he gets to the summit, the North Tower's 360 ft. tall TV antenna is noticeably missing. It's worth noting because all other shots of the roof in this episode show it. This could also be considered a goof by the animators. Further, there were washrooms on the ground floor of both towers.
