* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: Homer fawning over UsefulNotes/ThomasEdison as the greatest inventor of all time. In later years it became more well-known that many of his "inventions" were actually created by his European immigrant employees (most notably UsefulNotes/NikolaTesla's work on the electric lamp), his sole output in many cases being taking the credit for them, and his generally less-savory behaviors (i.e. patent-trolling in the film industry or his propaganda campaigns against alternating current) became more well-known. While it's not implausible for someone to continue to idolize Edison, it seems like the sort of thing Lisa, if nobody else, would point out.

** The untippable chair was also an idea of Greaney's; while working on the episode, he was leaning back in his chair and fell backwards. He casually said it would be great if there were legs on the back of the chair and someone in the writing room said that would be a great invention for Homer.
