* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: The idealised family at the company picnic are shown at Monroe's therapy clinic blatantly miserable, suggesting that, like Homer with his family, they were just pretending to be a functional, loving family in front of the boss, only they were more competent at it. Given they refuse to break character even afterwards, even when Homer prods the father, it's also possible that, even more like Homer, they wanted to keep up this perfect image and reached breaking point with it later.

* AlternativeJokeInterpretation: Homer telling Bart not to correct Mr. Burns and addressing him as "Brat" after Burns mistakenly did the same. Is it because Mr. Burns is Homer's boss and Homer knows that it isn't wise to infer to his employer that he made a mistake, or is it because Bart is such a mischievous troublemaker that calling him "Brat" isn't exactly wrong?
