** Tragically harsh: "John-John-John Kennedy" is listed as one of the arrested celebrities. Four years later John Kennedy, Jr. ("John-John") died at the age of 38, childless.

** ''Dr. and Mrs. Dre Hall'', the dorm building Lisa and Hugh would live in, named after famous rapper Music/DrDre. In June 29, 2020, his wife Nicole Young filed for divorce from Dr. Dre due to irreconcilable differences.

* ValuesDissonance: Lisa feeling uncomfortable wearing a [[VirginInAWhiteDress white dress]] hasn't aged very well. Nowadays most people just see wearing white would as normal whether or not you've had sex before.

* MoralEventHorizon: While he never turns evil, Lisa clearly sees Hugh as crossing a line near the end. His initial refusal to honor Homer's tradition is definitely rude, but at least it’s understandable, and to his credit, when Lisa pushes, he’s willing to go through with it. But immediately after, he makes it clear he genuinely dislikes Lisa's family and intends to only possibly see Marge when he and Lisa have kids, blocking the others out entirely. Making matters worse is how Hugh has previously witnessed Homer getting along perfectly well with his parents before this, showing that interactions between the two families aren't as hopeless as he thought - something that Hugh seems to [[IgnoredEpiphany completely ignore.]]

** The Happy Squirrel Tarot that was created as an offhanded joke has actually started seeing use in Tarot decks - albeit usually as a novelty or joke item.

** Believe it or not, the line about Music/TheRollingStones having a reunion tour was supposed to be a joke about how it would never happen.

** Similarly, Troy [=McClure=] was shown alive and elderly. In real life, both [=McClure=] and Creator/PhilHartman's other recurring character, Lionel Hutz, [[ActorExistenceLimbo got retired from the show after season 10 due to Hartman's death]] (though still make non-speaking cameos so prevent conflicting with this episode).

** Creator/JimCarrey being revered enough to have his own film festival, this being before the likes of ''Film/TheTrumanShow'' and ''Film/ManOnTheMoon''. The joke also references how he suddenly managed A-list stardom with ''three'' hit movies in 1994 by imagining he'd keep up that pace, but he's never had more than two releases in a calendar year since.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment:

* HarsherInHindsight:

** The news report about the celebrities being arrested and the remark of Heather Locklear Fortensky being at large becomes this given Locklear's various legal issues since the late 2000s; Larry Fortensky and Creator/ElizabethTaylor would divorce in 1996, [[FromBadToWorse and Larry died from skin cancer in 2016]].

** The joke about Fox Network becoming a hard-core porn channel: although Fox hasn't gone ''that'' far, channels such as FX and FXX have gotten a hefty amount of publicity and recognition through highly-acclaimed (and a few bomb) shows that cater to mature audiences.

* StoicWoobie: Homer can also count here. First it's made clear that his father has passed on by the time of these future events. Then Homer tries to genuinely bond with Hugh, and in a very sweet moment, he presents him with his father's cufflinks that Abe wore at his wedding, which Homer then wore at his own, asking that Hugh continue this tradition by wearing them when he marries Lisa. Hugh promises that he will. Despite truly liking Lisa's fianc&eacute and being excited that he'll honor his promise, on the day of the wedding, Homer discovers that Hugh has gone back on his promise, not wanting to be embarrassed by Homer's childlike gift. Despite this betrayal, Homer puts on a brave face and tries to hide his hurt feelings from Lisa so that he doesn’t spoil her wedding day. Lisa, knowing her father's emotions are wounded, goes to Hugh and convinces him to wear them. At which point he drops the act that he's not just annoyed by Homer and his family, he truly dislikes them and plans to separate Lisa from them after the wedding, which causes Lisa to leave him. We don't get to know how Homer reacts to this news, but given he really did seem to like Hugh, he always meant well in his interactions with him, and his speech to Lisa making it clear how much she means to him, it's not a stretch to assume that the usually emotional Homer loses his StoicWoobie status and will go on to blame himself for Lisa's failed marriage, even though the blame is much more on Hugh.

** The soy pops in the vending machine, considering that soy products are more common now than they were in the 1990s. Likewise, the use of cards for nearly every transaction (including some vending machines that do allow for people to pay with a card -- be it a regular swipe card or the ones with a chip on them for contactless payments -- rather than cash and change).

** The joke about Fox Network becoming a hard-core porn channel: lthough Fox hasn't gone ''that'' far (mostly because of its merger with Disney), channels such as FX and FXX have gotten a hefty amount of publicity and recognition through highly-acclaimed (and a few bomb) shows that cater to mature audiences, often showing explicit content (though mostly violence and language, or, in the case of ''Series/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia'' -- crude, dark, taboo-breaking humor). While some shows on those channels do have explicit nudity and sex, it's not on the same level as a hardcore -- or even a softcore -- porno).

** Just the fact that this is a future episode with the Simpsons kids all grown up set in 2010 when, due to ComicBookTime, the main focal character of this episode, Lisa, wouldn't have even ''born'' in that year as from season 30 onwards.[[note]]Possibly even by the very end of season 29.[[/note]]

* HarsherInHindsight: Both Maude Flanders and Edna Krabappel are alive and elderly in the TimeSkip. Maude dies in Season 11, Edna marries Ned Flanders in Season 23, before she herself dies in Season 25 [[TheCharacterDiedWithHim following the death of her voice actress, Marcia Wallace]].

* ToughActToFollow: This episode serves as one for basically every other episode to deal with possible futures for the Simpsons family, due to how believable but still interesting most of the future Simpsons are and it having a good mix of realism and heart. At least a chunk of the reason that "Bart to the Future" was so widely disliked at release was that it had to compare itself to this episode.

* MoralEventHorizon: While he never turns evil, Lisa clearly sees Hugh as crossing a line near the end.

* TheWoobie: Lisa definitely counts. She meets Hugh, the guy of her dreams, and everything seems to be going really well between them. But then on the day of her wedding, Hugh makes it very clear that he doesn't like her family at all and actively plans to keep her separate from them for the rest of their lives. This causes Lisa to rebel and make it clear that if she has to choose between him and her family, she'll pick the latter. They split up and Lisa never sees him again. On the bright side though, it's clear that while her first romance failed, she still has her loving family by her side, and it's implied that she'll go on to find someone better for her.

** The episode shows Lisa as a 23-year old in 2010, but the series continued on for years afterwards with ComicBookTime and NotAllowedToGrowUp as the norm. By Season 30, Lisa's year of birth has been retconed to ''2011'', making this episode impossible to be canon.

* MexicansLoveSpeedyGonzales: The Happy Squirrel arcana has actually become popular in the Tarot community.
