   OK episode with enjoyable concept. A little silly on the private island near   
   the end, but otherwise pretty decent. (Also, as it happens, I *just* saw Big   
   Hero 6 and its associated short two days ago, and apparently none too soon!)   
      
   DYN:   
   ...like the previously aired episode (Treehouse of Horror XXVI) the special   
   opening didn't include the name of the show?   
   ...Homer calls the chair's price (1100) "eleventy hundred", when eleven   
   hundred would do, and his phrase is probably best interpreted as 11000?   
   ...this is a rare non-Christmas episode with snow on the ground for no   
   particular reason?   
   ...Lenny says season 3 of anything is the best?   
   ...the rich Texan's normal monitor apparently responds to touch (if a   
   ricocheting bullet even activates that)?   
   ...Moe, like Milhouse in the TOH, has an emoji?   
   ...the private island's direction sign/activity board seems to be joined   
   mid-pan (so we can't read the top part but it has a Laird H: surfer Laird   
   Hamilton presumably) - possibly a shortened shot?   
   ...not only does Homer emerge from the ocean to the fake Bond theme, dressed   
   as Honey Rider, but he then sings Underneath the Mango Tree?   
      
   Previous episode stuff   
   8F23: Homer wants an expensive chair (and also gets one thanks to a rich   
   benefactor)   
   3F24: A bit of "dog dangling"   
   MABF17: Carl says that a big thing (a couple of years ago, anyway) is   
   crowdfunding, and this episode 5 years ago explored micro-loans   
   5F07: Angry mob retracts their act of charity, invading the Simpson house,   
   after finding the whole thing was a bit of a scam (in the snow, no less)   
   CABF12: A half-subtle recall to the boy band "YVAN EHT NIOJ" thing during the   
   concert   
      
   Also: In the credits, Homer laments missing a swim-up movie theater showing of   
   Back to the Future on the private island; it's a fine film, of course, but   
   given the BTTF Part II's future setting of 10/21/2015, it's interesting that   
   they didn't mention    
   that one instead. (OK, technically, what he was looking at was a title logo,   
   and there would be a moment in both sequels where the part number isn't shown   
   on-screen, and furthermore, II's is the only one in the trilogy where that is   
   on a light background.   
    So maybe that's what they're really showing. But probably best not to   
   overthink it.)
