** With Bart receiving a more formal diagnosis in a later episode, it's fully possible the "Simpson gene" is just untreated ADHD, which tends to manifest more disruptively in men than in women. It wouldn't be inconsistent with Homer and Bart doing well in the first few grades of school before crumbling under a heavier workload, which is a problem commonly faced by people with autism and/or ADHD as they go through school (so common, in fact, that the phenomenon has been given the name "gifted kid burnout/syndrome").

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: Thanks to this episode being delayed for the longest time (it has a 4F production code, which is reserved for season eight episodes, but aired in season nine, when the production code was 5F), the joke about "Non-Stop FOX" airing disaster shows like ''When Buildings Collapse'' and ''When Surgery Goes Wrong'' comes off as dated for two reasons: 1) FOX only had their "Non-Stop FOX" marketing campaign from early 1996 to 1997, and 2) No one these days is going to remember that FOX used to air disaster reality shows (only the ones they aired were ''When Animals Attack'' and ''World's Wildest Police Chases'').

* FanonDiscontinuity: Many fans seem to prefer [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS12E9HOMR the crayon explanation]] as to why Homer's an idiot, since, unlike the Simpsons gene, it doesn't necessarily doom Bart. It also doesn't contradict the fact that Homer has a smart half-brother, Herb, and a dumbass half-sister, Abbey. Possibly CanonDiscontinuity as of "Holidays of Future Passed", which shows Bart's future sons as very intelligent.
