Trivia/Cultural references

• The famous rumpus room makes an appearance in one of Homer's photographs.
• The title of the episode is a reference to The Who song "The Kids Are Alright". An alternate take of the song plays when the Simpsons look at the photos for the first time.
  • It might also be a reference to the 2010 film The Kids Are All Right.
    • This is the second episode to reference the song or film, the first being the Season 25 episode "The Kid is All Right".
• When Homer moves forward to strangle Bart, the music from Also sprach Zarathustra by Richard Strauss plays. This music was also famously used at a significant point in the 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey.
• Marge says she used to grow weed in the room were today is Maggie's bedroom.
• When Moe asks Marge if she wanted the "Matte" finish, he signed one of the photos with Matt Groening's signature.

Goofs

• Marge's hair seems to change length during the flashbacks.
• During the flashback, Flanders invites Homer and Marge to brunch despite that in "Life on the Fast Lane", Marge doesn't know what brunch is when Jacques invites her.
• During the flashback, dramatic music plays while Homer strangles Bart, implying that he's doing it for the first time. However, in "Lisa's First Word" and "The Girl Who Slept Too Little", we clearly see him strangling Bart as a 2-year-old.
• A business like Fotohut would have been long out of business by 2009.
• When Homer shot the pizza at the bar, the shotgun's shell destroyed the pizza, but left the wooden counter intact. A normal shotgun blast would have left a hole in the wood.

Continuity

• Grandma Flanders appears in this episode, and she last appeared in "Lisa's First Word", meaning that she finally returns in this episode after 22 seasons of not being shown on-screen.
  • Also, Bart still has the clown bed that Homer built for him from the same episode, which is destroyed when Bart and Lisa fall on it. This means that the flashback from this episode is a sequel to the one from the aforementioned episode.
