- When Ralph plays with the rat, he thinks that the rat is Elmo from Sesame Street.
Trivia[edit]
- When Bart skateboards over Barney during the opening sequence, Barney says "Hey!" instead of belching.
Continuity[edit]
- According to Homer the entire series of scenes showing him getting hurt took place over a week. This is odd, considering that one of the flashbacks was from "Treehouse of Horror XIII". This could, however, be a sign that Homer is not good at keeping track of time—or reality, since the THOH flashback is non-canon. Most of the flashbacks are clips from previous episodes:
