| 1 | * AluminumChristmasTrees: It turned out that "butt.com" is a real website, which is why Bart's chalkboard gag was changed to "butt.butt" in later airings. |
| 2 | * HilariousInHindsight: |
| 3 | ** The episode's final scene shows the logo of Creator/TwentiethCenturyFox as a "division of [[Creator/{{Disney}} Walt Disney Co.]]". In December 2017, Disney announced the acquisition of 20th Century Fox, which was made official in March 2019. |
| 4 | ** Homer's movie script, about "a killer robot driving instructor that travels back in time for some reason" and has "a heartbreaking decision to make about whether his best friend lives or dies" sounds a lot like the first ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' movie, ''[[Recap/FuturamaM1BendersBigScore Bender's Big Score]]''. (The common ancestor is, of course, the ''Franchise/{{Terminator}}'' franchise.) |
| 5 | * UnintentionalPeriodPiece: |
| 6 | ** Depicting Creator/AlecBaldwin and Creator/KimBasinger as a married couple dates this episode to before their divorce in 2002. |
| 7 | ** Homer gets in good with celebrities by being able to go shopping for them. Getting food, including groceries, delivered to your house has become much more common since this episode thanks to delivery apps like Grubhub and Doordash, not only for wealthy people, but for practically anyone anywhere. |
| 8 | ** One of the items in the house which clues Marge in to Homer's connections with the high life is a cell phone. If this episode came out in the mid-late 2000s or later that would be quite silly given the much higher prevalence of cell phones today. |
