(Cleaned up Wikipedia links. Also, I'm not sure how any of that stuff about Snake is a retcon to the older scripts referring to him as 'jailbird'. Also, I don't think that the fact Edna dated Moe is really 'trivia'.)

Trivia

  • It is revealed that Snake's last name is Jailbird, he was once a fair-minded archaeologist (à la Indiana Jones), his son's name is Jeremy (who was shown in a previous episode Days of Wine and D'oh'ses helping Snake steal a bike).
  • The power plant's address is 100 Industrial Ave.
  • Jimbo Jones being the child in the Rich Texan's photo fits with his backstory, as he comes from a very well off background.
  • This episode was rated TV-14DL in the US, the ninth time for The Simpsons.
  • This is voted best episode in Season 17 by fans, and the best in years.
  • It's revealed that Moe is the true reason for Snake's criminal reputation.
  • The vehicle in the scavenger hunt during Bart's account of Lisa's account of Mr. Burns' flashback is none other than his Mobilomobile, first introduced a few episodes earlier when it broke down outside Springfield Elementary.
  • Seven stories were told in this episodes, Bart's story, Lisa's story, Mr. Burns's story, Moe's story, Edna's story, goat's story, and Homer's story.
  • Apparently, either Homer, Carl, Lenny or Barney is gay. Moe only threatens to out the one of them that is gay. Of course, given the situation and their reactions, it is possible that all, none, or some of them are homosexual.
  • Note that when Lenny mentions "other vices" he has except for his drinking habits, and says "I dress up like a baby", it is Carl who nods with approval.

Continuity

Goofs

The coat goof.
  • Throughout Lisa's account, Lisa is seen wearing a pink coat, however a short time after the goat's account the pick coat disappears and she is seen wearing her regular orange dress, she then appears to be wearing the pink coat again in the next scene.
    • A plausible reason for this could be that she may have removed her coat during the goat's story and put it back on as she walked over to Mr. Burns.
