** Homer eating the sandwich. Homer continues to eat it despite the fact that it had blatantly gone bad (no, really, it spent at least one week behind a radiator and had turned purple and grown fungi as a result). Even after getting some serious food poisoning from the sandwich, and thus not being able to go to Duff Gardens, Homer ''[[TooDumbToLive still]]'' [[TooDumbToLive tried to eat what was left of it]]. It doesn't help that it's based on a true story that happened to one of the writers, although the sandwich never changed colors in the writer's case.

* {{Woolseyism}}: The opening gag with Lance Murdock falling off The Whiplash roller coaster after the announcer says, "To be completed in 1994" changes the "1994" line into something less dated in just about every non-English version of the episode, especially if the episode was dubbed after 1994.

** Selma kicking Hans Moleman out of the car and driving off after their date. The car looks like the AMC Gremlin that Hans usually drives, meaning that Selma just stole Hans's car and got away with it.
** Selma still accepting the pills for Lisa by the "doctor," even after he admitted he wasn't a doctor.
* HeartwarmingInHindsight:
** Although the episode ends with Selma deciding that having kids isn't for her, she later changes her mind in [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS16E12GooGooGaiPan Season 16's "Goo Goo Gai Pan"]] after she enters menopause (which means that she can't have children through biological means anymore) and travels to China with the family, where she later adopts a baby girl named Ling.
