Added DiffLines:

* VeryFakeResume: The only experience Marge has to list on her resume is "homemaker". Lisa helps her pad it with work experience like "chauffeur", "seamstress", "worked for the Carter administration" (she voted for him twice), and "curator of large animals" (cue a bulging, hairy Homer). Her resume becomes a running gag, which also includes claims of being fluent in Swahili, writing a Music/MuddyWaters song, and inventing a nuclear reactor.

Added DiffLines:

* ArtisticLicenseHistory: When mentioning Pierre and Marie Curie, Lisa states that they "both died of radiation poisoning." This is only half true: Marie did die from radiation sickness but Pierre was killed in a horse-drawn carriage accident. However due to the couple both frequently exposing themselves to radiation, it's safe to assume he would have met the same fate as his wife if it weren't for the accident.

Added DiffLines:

* ExpospeakGag: The Troy [=McClure=] video on do-it-your-self foundation repair that Homer watches actually has correct information in it, but it deliberately uses the most obtuse (and [[InherentlyFunnyWords funny-sounding]]) technical jargon for it imaginable.

* OffModel: When at the dinner table and Homer complains about having to work alongside Marge, The scene cuts briefly to her ReactionShot as she murmurs. Maggie's mouth is drawn ''really'' wrong; it appears that [[https://frinkiac.com/img/S04E07/494793.jpg two animation cels for her mouth (one where it's sucked in, and one where it's pushed out) are overlaid on top of each other]].

* TheGhost: Tibor, an employee who serves as a [[TheScapegoat scapegoat]] for problems at the power plant because he doesn't speak English (and who's managed to get promoted ahead of Homer in spite of that). He would eventually make it on-screen...in Season ''28.''
