Previous Episode References

• "Duffless": A character voiced by Dan Castellaneta (Homer/Barney) tries to quit drinking.
  • Duffless and "Homer vs. the Eighteenth Amendment": Bernice Hibbert (Dr. Hibbert's wife) is an alcoholic (was in the anti-drunk driving traffic school class/was seen passed out when Prohibition was enforced/is in Alcoholics Anonymous).
• "Scenes from the Class Struggle in Springfield": Su-San (the country club woman who dryly made fun of Marge) is one of the members of Alcoholics Anonymous.
• "Treehouse of Horror IV": The "Dogs Playing Poker" painting is referenced.
• "Homer Loves Flanders", "The Otto Show", and "The Last Temptation of Krust": A male character (Homer/Bart/Barney) impersonates Marge.
• "Dumbbell Indemnity": Homer flees to Moe's after destroying the house (breaking the water heater/setting fire to the gas line) and the household accident is never mentioned again.
• "The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson": Barney struggles with staying sober.
• "A Star is Burns":
  • Barney realizes that being an alcoholic has ruined his life.
  • Barney goes to an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting (though in the former episode, it was a Girls Scout meeting that he mistook for AA).
  • "A Star is Burns" and "Deep Space Homer": Barney gets clean and sober and has his hair slicked back.
• "The Joy of Sect":
  • Moe uses dark magic (voodoo/worshipping Santeria) to get Barney to drink.
  • Marge lies to the kids about a bike (the "hoverbikes" that immediately deprogram them from the Movementarian cult/says she gave away the bike prizes from the phone book photo contest to charity, only to give Bart and Lisa the bikes).

• "Lisa the Beauty Queen": Barney pilots an aircraft (The Duff Blimp/a helicopter).
• "Viva Ned Flanders": Barney's birthday is in April (though, considering that most reruns have Barney's birthday as July 15th instead of April 20th, the line won't make any sense to viewers who have never seen the original version).

Goofs

• 

  Moe's blue arm

  The number of chairs in the bar change from four chairs (when Moe wants Homer to be the new Barney) to three (when Homer is forced to dance).

• 

  The Confederate flag with colors inverted

  When Moe puts the video tape of Barney's birthday in the VCR his arm is colored blue.

  

  Rainier Wolfcastle's shorts missing a line

• In this episode, Barney lives above Moe's Tavern, but past episodes show that Moe's Tavern doesn't have apartments above it and that Barney lives in an apartment building located near the local prison.
• When Bart and Lisa are looking through the closet, the blue and red on the Civil War liquor bottle's Confederate flag are in opposite places to where they are supposed to be.
• Rainier Wolfcastle's shorts are missing the line on the right leg (left from a viewer's perspective) for a few frames.
• When the helicopter finally reaches Mount Springfield on fire and Homer looks down at the kids, he is drunk. Then when he cuts off the ladder to prevent the bear from boarding, he is not drunk. But when he walks then flips the helicopter, he is drunk again.
• McBain's line after Bart and Lisa catch him leaving the Kwik-E-Mart stuffing his face is "It's for a movie. I'm playing a fat secret agent." The closed captioning and lip-sync, however, read: "It's for a movie. Now go away, or I'll eat your camera."
