== Trivia ==
*During the ending credits, when Homer whines about everyone being rich, he says Richard K. Chung is "poor".
== Censorship ==
* Homer saying "They'll never know the simple joys of a monkey knife fight" during the yacht party was edited in Channel 4 airings to remove the word "knife", though the actual monkey knife fight wasn't censored, nor was Moe encouraging the monkey he bet on to stab the other and chuckling, "He ain't pretty no more."
* During the Gracie Films logo (during the end credits where Homer is crying over not being rich and names off everyone in the credits who are rich, including the voice actors who "...aren't as rich as they should be"), Homer saying "Don't shush me, you rich bastard," was changed to the original Gracie Films logo sound (the woman going "Shh!" and the Gracie Films logo music) in BBC airings, while Sky Showcase airings shortened the line to just, "Don't shush me!", and Channel 4 airings replaced the entire line with an audio clip of Homer yelling "Save me, Jebus!" from "Missionary: Impossible."
==Goofs==
*When Britney Spears discusses older people, her earrings switch from red to pink on-screen.
*When Homer is dancing to the Coast Guard rock song, the buoys indicating the start of international waters disappear.
*When a boat is in international waters, it comes under the jurisdiction of the country the boat is registered in (in this case, the United States), and depending on certain crimes committed on the ocean (such as piracy), the boat is under , meaning that the Coast Guard could have legally stopped the pirates from boarding the yacht and robbing everyone. Then again, most authority figures on The Simpsons are incompetent. It's all a part of the show's subversive humor.
*At the Mayo Clinic, when Mr. Burns asks for his medical results in his doctor's office, the analog clock on the wall appears to read 2:02. When the doctor uses the door and "novelty germs" to demonstrate Burns' condition, it reads 3:09, suggesting that they may have spent an extra hour at the office. However, after Burns claims to be indestructible, the clock is at 2:02 again.
*At the award show, when Ned stands he is in his tux. When the camera pans to Homer standing like an old man he is in his normal clothes.
