* CallBack:
** Milhouse dresses as Fallout Boy at the convention, having previously been cast as Fallout Boy in the failed film production of ''Radioactive Man'' during the [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS7E2RadioactiveMan eponymous episode]].
** After Edna and Skinner break up, Skinner laments, "Bart's right, I am a wiener", a reference to the graffiti Bart made back [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS1E2BartTheGenius near the beginning of the first season]].
* CelebrityParadox: InUniverse, Matt Groening is famous as the creator of ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}.''
* CommitmentIssues: Seymour's are what ultimately make Edna decide not to marry him when she realizes that, though he agreed to go through with the wedding, it's against his will.
* CreatorCameo: Creator/MattGroening appears at the convention, in what essentially amounts to a two-minute promo for ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}''.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Even the bully Nelson's mad at Mrs. Krabappel when she leaves Skinner at the altar
* ExiledToTheCouch: This episode opens with Marge deciding to sleep on the couch after finding out that Homer has decided to make his own AAA batteries by whittling D batteries.
-->'''Homer:''' [[LampshadeHanging She sure loves that couch.]]
* GracefulLoser: Edna refuses to go back to Seymour, but she also turns down Comic Book Guy's marriage proposal. He's pretty much okay with it.
-->'''Comic Book Guy''': There are a million valid reasons, but which one did you pick?
* {{Jerkass}}: Moe got Barney off the wagon so he could make more money off him.
* NerdsSpeakKlingon: When Comic Book Guy tries to marry Krabappel, it is conducted in Klingon; apparently the guests (sci-fi convention attendees) can all understand it.
-->'''Comic Book Guy''': Edna, the Klingons have a romantic saying. (''speaks Klingon'') Roughly translated, it means "I would kill the children of a thousand planets just to see you smile".\\
'''Edna''': Oh, that is the most romantic thing I've ever heard. Which is kinda sad if you think about it.
* OhCrap: Groundskeeper Willie's reaction to seeing shredded red material coming out behind his tractor.
-->'''Groundskeeper Willie''': Oh my God! I've shredded a child! '''''[[NoodleIncident AGAIN!]]'''''
* PopCulturePunEpisodeTitle: The title is an allusion to ''Film/MyBigFatGreekWedding''.
* RunawayBride: Homer successfully keeps Skinner from running, but when Edna realizes he wanted to, she turns the tables by leaving herself.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Willie's response to having potentially killed a child (albeit inadvertantly): [[RunForTheBorder head for the border]].
-->'''Groundskeeper Willie''': Venezuela, here I come!
* SnapBack: Two multi-seasons spanning {{Character Development}}s are [[StatusQuoIsGod done away with]] in this episode: Skinner and Krabappel's romance that began back in "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS8E19GradeSchoolConfidential Grade School Confidential]]" and Barney's sobering up arc that begun back in "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS11E18DaysOfWineAndDohses Days of Wine and D'ohses]]".
* SuckySchool: Springfield Elementary only has one ball and when Willie accidentally runs it over, the only games the children can play during recess are games like "Dodge Rock" and "Volley Brick".
--> '''Milhouse:''' I wanna play Dodge Rock! (''is hit by a rock'')\\
'''Nelson:''' (''off-screen'') You're out!
