Trivia
- Homer is the first to kick Ned out of the bomb shelter, but he also leaves first to die with him, leading everyone to safety.
- Homer states early in the episode that the comet will probably burn up and become smaller than a Chihuahua's head. At the end of the episode he is proven right, and both he and the kids are spooked by Homer being right for once.
- Although flightless birds, the penguins at Springfield Zoo are able to fly away when the comet approaches, in an intentionally ridiculous joke.
Cultural references

Waldo in the shelter.
- Everyone getting angry and wanting to come into Flander's shelter is a reference to "The Twilight Zone" episode, "The Shelter".
- For a couple of seconds when Homer tries to get the shelter door shut when everyone gets in, Waldo from "Where's Waldo" appears rather obtrusively on the left half of the screen. In other shots inside the shelter, Leonard Nimoy can be seen instead of Waldo.
- Skinner curses Pierre Jules César Janssen for having discovered helium.
Goofs
- When the crowd joins Flanders on the hill during the "Que Sera Sera" song, Apu appears yellow.
