Suggested correction: I don't see the mistake; I even watched the DVD version, and in the Disney+ version, I don't see it.

Suggested correction: It seems like it was done on purpose, as it includes the sound effect of a light bulb burning out. Clearly, it was meant to reference Hans Moleman's electric chair scene. The electric shock probably used up too much power—that's the joke.

Nelson: Hey, look how much Skinner makes: $25,000 a year.
Bart: Let's see, he's 40 years old times 25 grand. Whoa, he's a millionaire.
Skinner: I wasn't a principal when I was one.
Nelson: Plus, in the summer, he paints houses.
Milhouse: He's a billionaire.
Skinner: If I were a billionaire, why would I be living with my mother? [All the kids laugh at him.] They're just not responding to logic anymore.

Answer: Willy referred to an encounter he believed he had with actual aliens, while Wiggum thought he was referring to the arcade game.
