Added DiffLines:

* {{Anvilicious}}: The final discussion between Kang and Kodos is basically two straight minutes of attacks on the Iraq War. In the original script, Kodos ''blatantly says'' it's about Iraq, but this was cut because it was too on-the-nose even for the producers.

Removed entry because it's a reference to Fallout 1, not 3, hence it's inclusion in the show


* HilariousInHindsight: The third segment ends with a shot of the devastated Springfield as "I don't want to set the world on fire" by the Ink Spots plays. Two years later, the same song would be used for the opening of post-apocalyptic game ''VideoGame/Fallout3''

* FridgeBrilliance: A bit meddled within the unsubtle commentary on the Iraq War, but the aliens were partly on to something when talking about 'weapons of mass disintegration', even if they don't believe it themselves. The War of the Worlds-inspired segment takes place in 1938, just before World War II, which among others led to one of ''AtomicBombingsOfHiroshimaAndNagasaki the most prominent uses of nuclear weapons''.

* NightmareFuel: The final shot of the episode, with Springfield shown as a bombed out wasteland, with little signs of life remaining. And there are still explosions going off.

It scared me into the next day the first time I saw it, so someone else probably felt similarly.
