* CriticalResearchFailure: In the U.K., most people would refer to Guy Fawkes' Day as "Bonfire Night." Also, despite St. Patrick's Day antipathy for the English, British people tend to celebrate him too.



* FanficFuel: Despite this episode's...''controversial'' nature, the idea that there's an interdimensional portal in Lawndale proves to be quite useful for any sort of supernatural fic or crossover.
* FanonDiscontinuity: It tends to be a bit more accepted these days, but many fans hated this episode when it first came out, since it ruins the show's general realism.

Added DiffLines:

Daria is walking home, minding her own business as usual, when she is suddenly accosted by a short man in green and a big guy in a toga. It soon comes out that these are the {{Anthropomorphic Personification}}s of St. Patrick's Day and Valentine's Day, respectively, and they need Daria's help to get Christmas, Halloween and Guy Fawkes' Day back to Holiday Island.

Yes, my friends; this is ''{{Daria}}'''s infamous BizarroEpisode.

Having been roped into this task, Daria finds the renegade holidays--snarky, self-obsessed teenagers all--difficult to convince. Unfortunately, they soon decide to shack up at her house, and she'll have to get rid of them if she wants her life to get back to normal. Especially since Valentine's Day has made her parents into SickeninglySweethearts, which in turn leads Quinn to think that they're trying to have another baby.

!!Tropes present in this episode:
* AnthropomorphicPersonification: At one point Daria calls them "holiday spirits" for lack of a better description.
* ParentalSexualitySquick: Daria and especially Quinn get this; Quinn is actually convinced that they're trying to have another baby, because ''why else'' would they...''you know?''
* SickeninglySweethearts: Helen and Jake, after Valentine's Day zaps them with his love taser.
* UsuaullyUninterestingSight: Most of the characters who hear about the holidays at least have a token moment of disbelief; [[TheSlacker Trent]], however, seems completely nonplussed by their existence.
