* AluminumChristmasTrees: A restaurant based on an airplane sounds like something you'd only find in Springfield, but "Up, Up, and Buffet!" was actually inspired by the restaurant "Dive!", which was based on a submarine and co-owned by Creator/StevenSpielberg and Jeffrey Katzenberg in the mid-1990s. [[https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/airplanes-turned-restaurants/index.html Restaurants made from decommissioned airliners are also real.]]

* ShesGotLegs: Lenny describes Marge as having legs "from here to ya-ya."

* GoneHorriblyWrong: Homer and Marge having sex wherever the hell they feel like sounded like a good idea up until they do it on the mini-golf course and the sex makes the machines go haywire, which makes people start to check what is going on with the machines, which ends with Marge and Homer running away while still nude.

* HotterAndSexier: For better or worse, this episode pushed the boundaries of sexual content and animated nudity for primetime TV. Because of this, the UK and Australia have given this episode higher ratings than usual (in the UK, this got a 12 rating [though it's a PG on the DVD] for moderate sexual content [[note]]and some violence, such as the pirate in Bart's fantasy shooting another, Grandpa accidentally blowing up a tank during World War II, and the reference to a revised ending of ''It's a Wonderful Life'' involving a killing spree[[/note]]and this episode became the first episode in Australia to have an M rating [[note]]the "M" rating is the highest free-TV content rating your show can have, like America's TV-14 rating[[/note]]. Though like in the UK, it's rated PG on the DVD]). In America, this episode was rated TV-PG for sexually suggestive dialogue (D), sexual content[[note]]including partially obscured nudity and scenes of implied intercourse[[/note]] (S), foul language (L), and violence (V).

* TechnologyMarchesOn: Marge laments the fact that it's Camera Day at the stadium, which is why everyone was able to take their picture. These days almost everyone would have a smartphone to hand, meaning it wouldn't matter if it was Camera Day or not.
