- Harsher in Hindsight: Lisa's locked-up teen libido urging her to, among other things, "binge and purge." Lisa actually develops an eating disorder in the following season's "Sleeping With the Enemy," and it's implied that these struggles will follow her into her adulthood.
- Hilarious in Hindsight: Marge, a housewife, writes a cheesy romance novel involving a love triangle that is an obvious Wish-Fulfillment, has stand-ins for herself, Homer, and Ned, and becomes a Hate Sink in-universe. A few years later, another housewife writes a similar novel.
- Woolseyism: Homer's line about how To Kill a Mockingbird didn't have any advice on how to kill a mockingbird wouldn't have worked in Italy, where the novel is known as "The Darkness Beyond the Hedge"; this was fixed by making Homer instead complain about how Uncle Tom's Cabin didn't teach him how to build a cabin.
