The Bonfire of the Manatees/References

Trivia

 * Carl has a tattoo of Foghorn Leghorn on his right thigh.
 * This episode was rated TV 14.
 * The film Lemony Lick-it's A series of Horny Events is an obvious parody of Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events
 * Fat Tony, Legs, and Frankie, after Homer foolishly asked them if they were supposed to be the Gay Mafia, smashed both of Homer's hands with two hammers in rage. The Italian Mafia has strict rules against homosexuality, with the guilty member often being put to death.
 * The Outhouse Gag from Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part Two) is seen again, only this time it is Homer who almost befouls a building that only resembles an outhouse (in this case, Santa's Little Helper's brother's owner's studio)
 * The title of this episode comes from the 1987 novel, Bonfire of the Vanities by Tom Wolfe
