* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: At Planet Hollywood, Homer tries to tear up the script for ''Film/TheCableGuy'', accusing it of "nearly wrecking Creator/JimCarrey's career.". Nowadays, ''The Cable Guy'' has been reevaluated, and now, many, consider it a CultClassic.

* HarsherInHindsight: When Homer and Marge observe how fat everyone is getting due to his positive restaurant reviews causing people to eat more, the former proudly tells the latter that he's making a difference in people's lives. [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS13E8SweetsAndSourMarge A later episode]] would have the town of Springfield be declared "America's Fattest Town" as a result of Homer's antics (ItMakesSenseInContext), which embarrasses Marge so much that she pushes for a town-wide ban on sugar that leads to chaos.

* HilariousInHindsight:
** Homer becomes an [[CausticCritic impossible-to-please]] restaurant critic who writes his reviews on an old-fashioned typewriter, and his opinions prove to be the kiss of death to any eatery that cannot meet his unreachable standards. In other words, [[WesternAnimation/{{Ratatouille}} he's Anton Ego]].

Fridge Logic no longer belongs on YMMV, it now belongs on Headscratchers, and recap pages aren't allowed to have Headscratchers subpages anymore.


* FridgeLogic:
** Granted, Mr. Burns (and Smithers, for some reason) were fooled by the "singing" dummy of Homer, but just who actually moved him to his new office?
** How did Homer write "Screw Flanders" when the E on the typewriter was broken?

Not really a MEH since it's a one-episode thing, and their character directions haven't changed since then.


* MoralEventHorizon: The chefs deciding to ''assassinate'' Homer to get back at giving them bad reviews, endangering their businesses. One of them actually asks if [[DisproportionateRetribution that's not going too far]] only for Captain [=McCallister=] to talk for the rest by [[MurderIsTheBestSolution pointing to a spot on the wall]] of his restaurant ''reserved for Homer's head''.

* FansPreferTheNewHer: Mr. Burns getting fat is portrayed as a bad thing when his shins collapse, but fans commented that he actually looked healthier with the weight on compared to his usually spindly and decrepit appearance, coupled with his jovial attitude.

* AluminumChristmasTrees: Some fans probably don't realize ''Platypus Man'' and ''The Cosby Mysteries'' (the two shows Homer blames the television critic for their cancellations) were both real shows (the ending of "Who Shot Mr. Burns?: Part 1" spoofed the latter with a FourthWallPsych).

The fact that [[NegativeContinuity Uter has been seen in other episodes]] but Skinner shows him hatred because the kid is a FunnyForeigner ''does not'' help.
