* AsYouKnow: Homer talks about how Frink is going to pick which woman he'll date at the Springfield Planetarium, while he and Marge are nearly done driving there. This is [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] by Homer asking why he and Marge are explaining it if they both know, and Marge [[JustifiedTrope justifies it]] by saying "I like talking to you."
