Added DiffLines:

* HarsherInHindsight: The episode opens with Lisa wheeling in a seemingly-unconscious Bart into their parents' room and screaming "Mom, Dad, Bart's DEAD!" as a promotional tactic to get them to take them to Itchy and Scratchy Land. There would be a much later episode titled "Bart's Not Dead" where Bart almost dies for real, not to mention the ''Fanfic/DeadBart'' fanfic that arose after this episode's airing.


Added DiffLines:

** One gag has Homer wreak havoc in Amish Country, knowing they won't retaliate, until he's stopped by a donkey kicking him. [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS13E9JawsWiredShut A later episode]] would have Homer cause chaos while riding on a donkey, resulting in the immortal newspaper headline "Local Man Ruins Everything".

** The fact that much of the episode parodies [[Ride/DisneyThemeParks Disneyland]] becomes this as of March 2019, when Disney completed its acquisition of the 20th Century Fox, which means they now own ''The Simpsons'', though ironically not it’s theme park rights, as they are still with Creator/UniversalStudios at least domestically.

** Homer says that "with modern cars like this (his regular purple one), you can't get lost, because of all the silicon chips" right [[InstantlyProvenWrong before getting so lost]] that he orders the family to never speak of [[NoodleIncident whatever happened]]. [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS14E6TheGreatLouseDetective A following episode]] makes mention that Homer's car is so [[TheAllegedCar alleged]] that it does not has anything resembling a computer in it, but rather it's made of Soviet tank parts.

* AluminiumChristmasTrees: Bart finds it ridiculous that the gift shop has no "Bart" vanity license plates, but they do have "Bort" ones. [[http://www.everydayfamily.com/baby-names/name/bort/ "Bort"]] is a real name.
* {{Defictionalisation}}: "Personalised" keychain souvenirs inscribed with the name "Bort" have become popular at Universal Studios (and yes, they have sold out a lot).

** Creator/JohnTravolta is reduced to working as a bartender (whom Marge thinks is an actor who's dressed like him as part of the disco theme) at Itchy's '70s Disco. This episode first aired the same year that ''Film/PulpFiction'', which single-handedly resurrected Travolta's career, hit the big screen.

This episode first aired the same year that ''Film/PulpFiction'', which single-handedly resurrected Travolta's career, hit the big screen. What makes it funnier is how this episode aired after the movie hit theaters, but went into production before, which means that the producers couldn’t possibly have known about a CareerResurrection that year.
