** The Latin American translation of the episode changes the item Gary the nerd wanted to plug in (and thus decides to unplug the TV) from a rock tumbler to a multiplexer router. It also changes Homer's "I’ll be the hero of the party!" when he spikes the punch to "vamos a hacer bullicio! (let’s cause some ruckus/mayhem!)"

** Two major jokes in the episode revolve around the nerds using the Simpsons' phone lines for their computers' dial-up modems, placing the episode well before items such as wi-fi lines or laptops were more widely available from UsefulNotes/The2000s onward.

* HumorDissonance: A deliberate case where a nuclear physics professor introduces himself with the joke "Out with the old, in with the nucleus!", which manages to get a laugh from everyone in the class (except Homer, who doesn't get it). Then when the professor drops his papers, Homer laughs uproariously for a good fifteen seconds, being the only one in the room to do so.

* FranchiseOriginalSin: This is often cited as the "patient zero" for episode plots being fueled by Homer acting like an obnoxiously wacky asshole, and even named the trope ZanyScheme. Most people will let it slide, though, because there was an actual reason for why Homer was acting like this, and the whole point was supposed to be that he was wrong to do so--later episodes just treated it as his standard mode of behavior.
