Lisa without eyes
  • Homer weighs 239lbs in this episode; he was the same weight in "Homer's Night Out" and "King-Size Homer". By the end of the episode he is down to 225 pounds.
  • When Carl Carlson speaks in the episode, it is Lenny's voice actor.
  • Before Bart and Lisa enter the water slide, Lisa is briefly missing her eyes.
  • When Krusty was being pressed by News Reporters about the incident at Mt. Splashmore with the H2WHOA!! and his attempts at driving them away, he apparently wipes away the "white makeup" on his head, despite the fact that it was implied in "Homer's Triple Bypass" that Krusty's bypass surgery that gave him a pacemaker permanently bleached his skin white.
