* AlternativeJokeInterpretation: When Groundskeeper Willie mentions his arthritis came from "space invaders" and was surprised that Chief Wiggum called it a video game, was this implying Willie had an encounter with real space invaders, or something he believed were space invaders? Or was he playing ''VideoGame/SpaceInvaders'' under the impression that the aliens in the game were real? The second interpretation however does result in a case of AnachronismStew, as Willie mentions the incident had occurred in 1977, while ''Space Invaders'' came out in 1978.
