* HarsherInHindsight: In this episode, [[MistakenForTerrorist Homer incorrectly assumes someone is an Islamist terroist.]] A few seasons later, he'd find ''himself'' on [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS25E1Homerland the other side of that accusation.]]
* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: Mapple's product line parodies Apple's offerings from the late 2000s, when Steve Jobs (here presented as Steve Mobs) was still alive, including an analogue of the [=iPod=] (which was discontinued in May 2022, concurrent with the discontinuation of the 7th generation of the line’s lone remaining product, the [=iPod=] Touch). Additionally, ''Series/TwentyFour'' is still on, and the UsefulNotes/WarOnTerror is at its height.
