* CreativeClosingCredits: This is the only episode to have the closing credits actually list all the characters each voice actor portrays, even the ones that don't appear in this episode. (This was mainly done so that people would stop asking who plays which character.)

* NowWhichOneWasThatVoice: This is the only episode of the show to avert this (except in the cases of Creator/MaggieRoswell, Creator/PhilHartman, and Creator/AudreyMeadows), specifically because the producers were sick of being asked who did which voice and decided to have one episode list who played which character in the end credits. It also caused even the most hardcore ''Simpsons'' fans to wonder, "Who the hell is this Smitty fellow that Creator/HankAzaria voiced?".
