History YMMV / TheSimpsonsS10E10VivaNedFlanders

** Ned makes a joke about preferring the humor of Bob Saget, the intent of which was to show how much of a lame, stick in the mud he was. This was before it became wildly known that Saget's standup routine was ''vastly'' different than the public image of him that was cultivated on Full House and America's Funniest Home Videos, where his material was very raunchy and adult.

* GeniusBonus: Reverend Lovejoy tells the congregation, "And once again, tithing is ten percent off the ''top''. That's ''gross'' income, not net. Please, people, don't force us to audit." This is both a religion and economics joke. In Christianity, it is customary to give ten percent of your weekly pay to the church (see Genesis 14:20, among other verses). The congregation was presumably giving 10 percent of their regular paycheck which would already have taxes deducted (the aforementioned net income) along with whatever other deductions they could claim, hence the auditing remark.

In 2017, Las Vegas got their own UsefulNotes/NationalHockeyLeague team, the Vegas Golden Knights. They even came close to winning it all in their first season.

* HarsherInHindsight: The people running away from the dust cloud after Mr. Burns' casino gets demolished, looks eerily similar to the cloud caused by the collapse of the Twin Towers, two years after the episode was aired.

* HilariousInHindsight[=/=]OlderThanTheyThink: This episode seems like a WholePlotReference to ''Film/TheHangover'' (the first one), except it was made 10 years earlier. Some movie critics even made a connection between the two and it was pointed out in the live tweets during the "Every Simpsons Ever" marathon.

* FanonDiscontinuity: Ned's previously established background as the son of beatniks was maintained in future episodes despite not quite meshing with his age of 60 as established in this episode. Thanks to the show's sliding timeline, Ned being a child of beatniks in his 60s ended up making in the 2010s, though it will eventually fall prey to the same logical problem as Abraham Simpson being a still-alive World War II veteran.

* FanonDiscontinuity: Ned being 60 has since been ignored and his previous background as the son of beatniks being retained.

* GeniusBonus: Reverend Lovejoy tells the congregation, "And once again, tithing is ten percent off the ''top''. That's ''gross'' income, not net. Please, people, don't force us to audit." This is both a religion and math joke. In Christianity, it is customary to give ten percent of your weekly pay to the church (see Genesis 14:20, among other verses). The congregation was spending all their paycheck money and then whatever was left, they were taking ten percent of ''that'' to use for the offering. Which, naturally, would be a ridiculously small amount. No wonder Lovejoy was annoyed.

** At the time, it was a SeriesContinuityError that Ned was 60, even though past episodes showed Ned was a child during TheFifties. However, the show is still on in the 2010s, thus making Flanders born in the 1950s and the jokes in those episodes are still relevant and throwing the NegativeContinuity out the window.
