Trivia[edit]

  • Aunt Gladys is the first time a Bouvier family member called Marge by her full first name Marjorie which would not happen again until Season 18 when a teenage Patty does during a flashback in "Kill Gil, Volumes I & II".
  • This episode marks the first appearance of The Seven Duffs. However, only Tipsy, Queasy, Surly and Remorseful are named in the episode.
  • The 101 Frozen Pops magazine that Selma reads has Troy McClure on the cover (suggesting that he's a sperm donor). Ironically, in the later episode "A Fish Called Selma", Selma and Troy attempt to have a baby but Selma refuses to go through with it (due to not wanting to bring a baby into a loveless marriage).
  • The waitress at the diner the family stops at is later seen in the episode working at the restaurant that Selma and Hans Moleman go to and as the receptionist when Barney donates sperm.
  • Lisa drinking water is based on Kevin Curran drinking Pirates of the Caribbean water.[1]

Goofs[edit]

  • When Jimbo, Kearney and Dolph leave Duff Gardens in bumper cars, the sign says "LEAVING DUFF GARDFNS" instead of "LEAVING DUFF GARDENS".
  • Also in that same scene, Jimbo's bumper car changes from green to blue
  • At several parts of this episode, Lisa's skin changes from yellow to pale green.
  • Before the will reading, Lionel Hutz refers to Aunt Gladys as "Miss Bouvier". Gladys' surname was Gurney; "Bouvier" was Marge's father's name.
