** During the opening sequence, Marge says "You know, the world has gotten so darn scary lately, what with the grim specter of... everything". [[TraumaCongaLine To put it mildly, 2020 was an exceptionally turbulent year]], as it started with tensions between Iran and U.S. almost igniting into armed conflict, which was followed by Australian wildfires, then, the COVID-19 Pandemic spread around the world and left most life in a standstill, and anti-police brutality protests erupted after the murders of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd, all adding to an already-intense election, which was soon followed by Donald Trump supporters launching an insurrection against the US government after he was defeated in said election the following year.

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


* FridgeLogic: Virtual Marge might have had a much easier escape if she made her run for it through the TV and living rooms instead of ''through the dining room where everyone is eating''.



* HilariousInHindsight: One ''Treehouse of Horror'' story, "House of Whacks" also dealt with the Simpsons getting a Smart House that ends up in a love triangle between Marge and Homer, similar to the second segment, "The First Thursday After Tomorrow." The difference here is that ''Virtual Marge'' is the one we're meant to sympathize with, and Homer and Marge are the villains of the story.



* TearJerker: How does Virtual Marge reach Maggie? By making her hear the first sound she heard: her mother's heartbeat. Cue to the real Marge being totally devasted.
