1	* AluminumChristmasTrees: At the time this episode came out, there really was a ''Simpsons'' Sunday newspaper strip, which began in January 2000 and ran until 2004.
2	* BizarroEpisode: It turns out the Simpsons were all [[AsHimself actors playing themselves on the show]], and that they had nearly broken up and stopped work on the show.
3	* FountainOfMemes: A strong contender for "most quotable ''Simpsons'' episode". Homer especially has lots of great lines.
4	* HarsherInHindsight:
5	** The episode ends with a teaser for a "future" episode of Behind the Laughter featuring WesternAnimation/HuckleberryHound, admitting he is a closeted homosexual. Come 2018, the DC comic ''ComicBook/ExitStageLeftTheSnagglepussChronicles'' does portray Huckleberry Hound as a troubled gay man and this is [[PlayedForDrama played for sheer drama]] up until [[DrivenToSuicide he hangs himself]] after being arrested during an anti-gay raid.
6	** In Spain, the episode is notable for being the last featuring Homer's first voice actor ''and'' dubbing director, Carlos Revilla, before he died. As a result, Revilla's last line for the entire show was Homer's "this will be the last season", and the quality of the voice cast and acting took a downward spiral parallel to the episode plots. For this reason, it is widely considered the clean cut-off between golden age and SeasonalRot Simpsons in the country.
7	* HilariousInHindsight:
8	** When the IRS take the Simpsons' mansion away, Homer laments, "They can't take our house; my potbellied pig is in there! Oh, [[FormallyNamedPet Mr. Porky]]..." Homer would get another pig for a pet in ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsonsMovie''.
9	** Homer announcing at the end that "This'll be the last season." The show is still on the air more than two decades later.
10	** In a supposedly panned episode in which Richie Rich substituted as Bart, Marge asks why he has jury duty. In the Season 34 episode "One Angry Lisa", Lisa ends up being summoned for jury duty.
11	* OneSceneWonder: UsefulNotes/JimmyCarter breakdancing.
