** The line where Hanks asks Homer what country is his least favorite; Italy or France. Homer responds with France and Hank laughs to himself: "No one ever says Italy." Was this joke supposed to be a [[CheeseEatingSurrenderMonkeys "Everyone hates the French"]], is it saying [[SpaghettiAndGondolas Italy is the more favorable country of the two]], or given that Scorpio suddenly stops smiling does he have a unspecified irrational grudge against Italy?

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Homer is driven to quit his lucrative dream job (one of the very few he has ever been successful at) because all of the other Simpsons are unhappy with their new lives. Marge has all the housework done for her by automated systems so she's bored and sits around doing nothing, Bart is put into a Special Education class where he has to deal with rambunctious and annoying other students because he's not up to Cypress Creek Elementary's standards, and Lisa is allergic to everything on the town's nature trails. What makes this the trope is their problems could all be easily solved, such as Marge getting a job, taking up a hobby or even looking for friends, Bart getting his parents to get him out of that Special Education class, meanwhile Lisa could just take anti-allergy medication. Plus, once they tell Homer about these issues none of them try to come up with any solutions and just tell Homer they want to go back to Springfield.

** At the time of this episode, the Denver Broncos were the epitome of SoOkayItsAverage, having an exact .500% record over their last four seasons (hence Homer's disappointment in becoming their owner), while the Dallas Cowboys had won three out of the four previous Super Bowls. By the end of the 1996 season, they would tie with the Green Bay Packers for having the best regular-season record at 13-3, and would go on to win the UsefulNotes/SuperBowl the following year, and again at Super Bowl XXXIII in 1999, which Homer went to in Season 10's "Sunday, Cruddy Sunday". As of 2016, the Denver Broncos have been to the Super Bowl four times, winning three, the latest in 2016. [[EveryYearTheyFizzleOut The Dallas Cowboys haven't even reached the Conference Championships since the airing of the episode (and after this episode aired, they would win one more playoff game before going 13 years without getting another)]]. Hilarious, indeed. And for extra hilarity, the Bronco's sole loss in those four games, a crushingly disappointing defeat of 43-8 at Super Bowl XLVIII in 2014, allowed the end of episode scene to be memetically mutated again. Football history has gotten a lot of mileage out of this joke.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Hank is an immensely likable and badass AffablyEvil supervillain whose relationship with Homer makes him an interesting {{Foil}} to [[BigBad Mr. Burns]]. Being a guest character however, he only appears in the single episode, though [[BreakoutCharacter material outside the show would feature him more prominently]].

Ignorance is not a reason to make this Unintentionally Unsympathetic. The fact that the rest of the family do nothing to even try to solve their problems with the town is exactly what makes it Unintentionally Unsympathetic.

Again, this all really amounts to ignorance, which is not the same as being unsympathetic.

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Homer is driven to quit his lucrative dream job (one of the very few he has ever been successful at) because all of the other Simpsons are unhappy with their new lives, but each of the unhappy Simpsons could have their problems solved relatively simply and with very little effort. The fact that none of them make a single attempt to solve their problems means that they can easily be seen as being lazy and extremely selfish.
** Problem - Bart is despondent that he's been moved into a Special Education class and that he's not learning anything (despite the fact that he's previously only cared about learning once). Easy Solution - Marge could speak to the school about instead moving Bart back a grade, so he could catch up with the other kids without being bored and still receiving a decent education.
** Problem - Lisa discovers that she is allergic to the pollen of wildflowers. Easy Solution - Take antihistamines if she is going to be out in nature or near flowers, or easier yet, ''just don't go nose-deep into any more wildflowers''.
** Problem - Marge is bored out of her mind because she has no housework to do, thanks to everything being automated. Easy Solution - Marge could be really daring and get a job or take up a hobby (such as her repeatedly-demonstrated interests in art, reading, soap operas, the theatre, etc.), or she could just... you know, ''turn off the automated systems'' so she can still do housework herself.
