** When Milhouse's parents, Kirk and Luann, were introduced, they both looked very much like him, meaning that they also rather improbably [[LookAlikeLovers looked very much like each other]]. This has led to some pretty uncomfortable questions from fans. ([[LampshadeHanging And Bart, in one episode.]]) Considering that the "Lemon of Troy" episode revealed that Mrs. Van Houten is from Shelbyville, and that the Springfield/Shelbyville rivalry came about because Shelbyvillains wanted to [[KissingCousins marry their cousins]]... yeah. It sinks into UncannyFamilyResemblance territory with the introduction of at least one of Milhouse's grandfathers and his two grandmothers in different episodes, who of course look all the same. By the way, one of the grannies is Italian and the other (most likely) Dutch. Milhouse himself lampshades his parents' resemblance in a later episode where he casually admits that he thinks they might be [[BrotherSisterIncest brother and sister]] and a later episode has him state that they're cousins. Milhouse's resemblance to his dad in particular is so strong that in the episode "Hardly Kirking," he--by shaving his head, wearing one of Kirk's suits with a pair of stilts, and [[VoiceChangeling deepening his voice by tightening his tie]]--is able to fool the entire neighborhood, including ''Luann,'' into thinking he's Kirk.
