- Catharsis Factor: For anybody who dislikes the Running Gag of Homer strangling Bart, it's very satisfying to see Bart strangle him for a change.
- Unintentional Period Piece:
- Homer reveals via a set of photos he once showed Bart as a baby from a balcony only to drop him off, parodying a then-recent incident involving Michael Jackson and his infant child, which became mostly forgotten after Jackson's death in 2009.
- Tony Hawk being the main guest star, the latter half of the subplot being Bart becoming immersed in skater culture, and the Matrix-style battle between Homer and Hawk all scream early Two Thousands.
