It's averted when Homer decides to reconsider, but Patty and Selma push him off anyway. And then double subverted when they "gift" him a set of weights and dare him to jump overboard while wearing them.

Oedipus Complex is now a disambiguation page.
* ChildSupplantsParent: Homer seems to still be dealing with the inferiority complex he has with regard to Bart in episodes like "Moaning Lisa" and "Tennis the Menace," as we see him oblige the dream version of Bart by taking him through his earlier memories to duke it out with his 10- and 20-year-old selves, both of whom Bart clobbers effortlessly. As the "kids" will later point out, they're not really his kids but his mind's representations of them, implying that these scenes simply reflect how Homer feels about Bart.

* HarmfulToMinors: While inside Dr. Frink's machine, Homer grabs Bart and Lisa from a recent memory and enlists them to help him find out what happened the night he seemingly caught Marge with another man. He has the presence of mind to consider that this might not be an appropriate memory for them to visit, but "Lisa" reassures him that they're both projections of his children created by his mind and therefore can't be harmed by such a thing as the real Bart and Lisa would.
