* {{Misblamed}}: The episode is often criticized for its abrupt ending that says the kids were rescued offscreen, when this is actually another nod to ''Literature/LordOfTheFlies'', which ended in a similarly abrupt manner (though the rescue was at least an actual scene).

* FridgeLogic: How did Homer's Internet King ad get onto the internet in the first place?
** RuleOfFunny
** One could speculate that Homer simply contacted an internet advertising company (possibly one he found in the phone book). Even if he didn't know what the internet was, or how internet ads worked, it's still completely possible he could have contacted someone who did and they (in exchange for a fee and after getting some details of the ad off him) managed to put an ad online for him.

* FranchiseOriginalSin: This was the first episode to have a really abrupt AssPull ending as opposed to a real conclusion. It works here as part of the ''Literature/LordOfTheFlies'' homage and because the actual story arc was still more or less wrapped up, but later episodes would abuse this trope in a way that resulted in a abrupt, unsatisfying GainaxEnding.
