Trivia
- When Homer reverses into Frank Grimes' car, there is a sign showing the parking space is reserved for Frank Grimes. Next to it is a sign that says 'Reserved for LENNY', which omits his surname.
- This is one Matt Groening's favorite episodes.
Continuity
- Lenny and Carl have Master's degrees, but Homer's degree, which he earned in "Homer Goes to College", isn't mentioned, Homer didn't complete a degree - Burns just had him take Nuclear Physics 101 to comply with the inspectors' requirement that Homer have college-level training in nuclear physics.
- Homer shows Grimes his pictures and his grammy, which reference numerous previous episodes:
- One picture depicts the time he toured with The Smashing Pumpkins, referencing "Homerpalooza".
- Another shows when he went to space, which references Deep Space Homer.
- A third shows his friendship with Gerald Ford, which references "Two Bad Neighbors".

Goofs

- In a far shot of the audience at the power plant model contest, the lenses of Charlie (SNPP)'s glasses are white instead of aqua.
- Frank Grimes claims that Homer has never been fired from Springfield Nuclear Power Plant. However he was fired in "Homer's Odyssey" (for crashing his tram into a stack of barrels) and "Burns Verkaufen der Kraftwerk" (when the German workers were laying off poor-performing workers -- with Homer being the only one on the list).
