History YMMV / TheSimpsonsS1E10HomersNightOut

** Today, a man seen dancing with an exotic dancer would not be seen as scandalous or homewrecking, and even in 1990, it is unlikely it would have been. It is possible the entire thing was just a send-up of older sitcoms, where such a thing WAS a big deal, but given how it is played completely straight, it is difficult to say. To be fair, the story was conceived with Princess Kashmir being a straight-up stripper instead of a belly dancer. Having to tone down the content in able to get it on the air made it confusing to the viewer as to how Marge found the final result so awful.
** Some real life belly dancers have been critical of this episode as it makes out belly dancing to be a sexual dance no different than striptease. Also, belly dancers pointed out that many won't perform at bachelor parties as a matter of personal pride as well as for personal safety reasons. Again, to be fair, this is not the show's fault but the FOX censors who nixed the originally scripted stripper (this concern by the higher ups about younger viewers is the same reason why Series.DoctorWho's Amy Pond is a "kissogram" in Recap.DoctorWhoS31E1TheEleventhHour rather than the more realistic stripper or prostitute)

** Marge is angry with Homer after finding a picture of him dancing with a stripper at a work party. The ''intended'' lesson is "Don't objectify women," but the truth is, Homer and the other men at the party demonstrated ''perfect'' etiquette towards exotic dancers which would make a fine lesson on its own: don't touch them, don't insult them, and pay them fairly. Another lesson is "Don't take pictures of people without their consent," since it was Bart's photo that started the whole mess in the first place.

* DesignatedVillain: Not quite a villain but Homer is the one that the story ''tries'' to put in the wrong for "objectifying women" yet he did absolutely nothing wrong at the party and was a perfect gentleman toward the stripper. Realistically, ''Bart'' is the one that should have been taught the real lesson of not taking pictures of people without their consent since he sneaked into the bachelor party but instead [[KarmaHoudini he's given a pass for that]] because Marge's jealousy and guilt tripping morphed the story into forcing Homer to set a good example for Bart by teaching him not to objectify women.
* EnsembleDarkhorse: Being the debut of her character, Princess Kashmir does have a small fan following [[MsFanservice for obvious reasons]].

* HarsherInHindsight: In the episode, Mr. Burns admits to Homer that in spite of his success, he's actually a lonely man who longs for the companionship of a woman. This becomes a little cringeworthy after season 14's [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS14E15CEDoh C.E.D'oh]] reveals that he actually ''had'' a fiancé at one point. His workaholic tendencies resulted in him missing his own wedding, and she later died of a broken heart. ''Ouch.''

** At one point in the episode, Mr. Burns asks Homer for dating advice and outright ''begs'' him to tell him the secret to attracting women. Much later, in season 13's "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS13E4AHunkaHunkaBurnsInLove A Hunka Hunka Burns In Love]]," Homer acts as Mr. Burns' wing-man and helps him actually ''succeed'' in finding a [[StatusQuoIsGod (mostly)]] long-time girlfriend.

** Marge may also have been angry because she saw Homer's actions with the stripper as [[YourCheatingHeart cheating on her]]. One lesson taken could be "don't cheat on your spouse or do something that can be interpreted as cheating" (such as going to a strip club, fooling around with a stripper, etc).

* HeartwarmingInHindsight: The episode depicts Princess Kashmir as a somewhat downtrodden performer who has to dance at stag parties and strip clubs on the side. Several later episodes depict Princess Kashmir in celebrity gatherings, implying that life did pick up for her afterwards.
