Cultural references

- When Marge attempts to leave the compound, she is chased by the Rover guard "balloon" from the 1967 television program The Prisoner.

- The second Hare Krishna guy sitting on the floor next to the standing one seen moments earlier isn't visible when Homer walks past.

- Homer gives the deed to his house away when he has a mortgage.
- The dust from the Rolls Royce has nearly cleared up, and it suddenly appears on Moe and Sideshow Mel instantaneously, in what looks like a single frame.
- Lisa should be in a different class to Bart, since they are in different grades.
