* AluminumChristmasTrees: While he is waiting in the car for Bart and Milhouse to finish the concert, Homer sings seemingly made up lyrics to [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_Flea Spanish Flea]]. Most people don't realize that those are the actual lyrics, having only ever heard the instrumental by Herb Albert and the Tijuana Brass (which is what Homer is singing along to), rather than the original by Julius Wechter.

** Yes, Otto, go ahead and insult your driver's license teacher by asking her if she was born a man (even if you told her not to be offended over it and that you're open-minded about it).
** Also, it makes ''perfect'' sense to tell an eight-year-old girl a scary story at night about a maniac killer and then tell her that you were the killer. How else do you think she would react? And how would [[PapaWolf her father react]] if he found out?

* InformedWrongness: Otto's trying to make out that Homer is being a {{jerkass}} for calling him a "sponge", considering that everything seen in the episode -- namely Otto repaying the Simpsons' hospitality by attempting his driving test ''once'', failing miserably, and then doing nothing but mooching off the Simpsons (a family that already has three children, with only one of the adults working) while generally making a nuisance of himself -- indicates that this accusation is 100% deserved. At worst, Homer's perhaps a little hypocritical considering that he himself is indicated to be as much of a nuisance to Marge as Otto is, but his assessment of Otto's personality doesn't seem very far off the mark.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: One of the hobbies Bart has quickly lost interest in is listening to a short-wave radio set. When this episode aired, the widespread use of internet streaming was still in the future and many children asked for short-wave sets in order to experience the novelty of listening to foreign countries' short-wave stations.

* MemeticMutation: And a pre-internet one at that. Even for the British and Australians, Bart's use of "Slag off!" was recent; slag in British slang essentially means "loose person who will do anyone". For those in the States, slag refers to cast off waste from steel refinement, but it's vernacular sounds pretty Brit English enough to pass off as a PG rated insult, and so a new way of saying "get lost" was born.
