"Lisa the Simpson" in Season 9 would reveal that he's quite literally correct: a "Simpson gene" passed on the male chromosome causes men in the Simpson family to lose their intelligence as they age, preordaining each of them to become a failure.

** The gag where Homer imagines himself wearing a wig resembling Marge's hair and saying "I don't need her at all anymore!" [[{{Foreshadowing}} foreshadows]] the season finale "Secrets of a Successful Marriage," which reveals Marge as a LivingEmotionalCrutch to Homer to the extent that he fears he'll ''die'' if they ever split up.

* HeartwarmingInHindsight: The episode's story doesn't end with any reason why Homer would go back to hating Ned; instead the SnapBack in future episodes is {{Lampshaded}} with a cut to [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall the following week's time slot]], when Homer hates Ned again. Later episodes of the show would see Homer happily spending time with Ned, suspending hostilities to help him when he needs a hand, and generally developing such a warm relationship with him that references to his animosity toward him start to seem more like VitriolicBestBuds banter than anything.
