** One joke in the episode involves the [=DJs=] at KBBL being replaced by a computer that produces such "topical" insights as "Looks like those clowns in Congress have done it again. What a bunch of clowns." Twenty-five years later, Sideshow Bob actor Creator/KelseyGrammer would use that exact same phrase, "bunch of clowns", to mock both political parties, proving how timeless the [=DJ3000=] actually was.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Near the end of the episode, when Stampy continues to be disruptive and unhappy even in the animal sanctuary, there's a NatureVersusNurture discussion that suggests some animals (and people) are just jerks. However, since Stampy was already treated poorly by both the Simpsons family and possibly by the radio station who took an elephant out of its natural habitat to begin with, his awful behavior could be a result of his existing trauma, not necessarily innate. Since the ending compares Stampy's rude behavior with that of Homer, it can also be interpreted that his bad behavior was enabled further by living with such bad role models.

* {{Woolseyism}}: In the Italian adaptation, Blackheart's line about being president of the Fox Network is bizarrely turned into being "an extra on ''Film/ThePinkPanther''". Not only is there a reference to an animal (the other references about him being a whale hunter and seal clubber are left intact), but the ArsonMurderAndJaywalking angle of the joke is kept.

** The setup for this episode is a situation where someone who qualifies for an unusual prize can either accept the prize, or take a cash payment in its place.
