* HeartwarmingInHindsight: The episode has a few light-hearted jabs at Music/WeirdAlYankovic, with Hank incorrectly informing Bobby that he "blew his brains out in the late '80s after people stopped buying his records" and Bobby lamenting that, like Yankovic, he's going to die lonely, friendless and alone. At the time, Yankovic was pushing 40, still a bachelor and largely seen as a relic of the past. Within the next decade, however, he'd get married, have a daughter and experience a massive CareerResurrection with "[[Music/StraightOuttaLynwood White and Nerdy]]." Today, he's still HappilyMarried and is one of the most beloved, respected and amiable comedic performers in America. It makes Bobby's admiration of him all the more hopeful.

* HilariousInHindsight: Whether he was inspired by this episode or not, Yankovic's 2022 VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory (read: almost entirely fictional) biopic ''Film/WeirdTheAlYankovicStory'' does end with Yankovic's brains being blown out in the 1980s.
