I’ve always had to wonder about moments like that where they blatantly recycle jokes from past episodes. At first, I used to think “Were we not supposed to notice?”, but after listening to the DVD commentaries, I realized that it likely isn’t intentional – most of the writers completely forget everything about an episode after they’ve finished writing it.
Except for Bill Oakley, who seems to have a photographic memory of every joke that’s ever gone in the show and which episode it came from.
It’s why we love him.
