• Bart refers to SpongeBob SquarePants by saying "Going back to the real early SpongeBobs."
• After Homer calls Bart his little "Roman Polanski", Marge is offended at this, but Homer doesn't know what is wrong with being Roman Polanski, so after Marge whispers something bad about him in Homer's ear, Homer shouts "He what? You monster!" and strangles Bart. This is a reference to the Roman Polanski sexual abuse case, in which Polanski was arrested and charged for drugging and raping a 13 year old girl in 1977. It is possible that Marge whispered to Homer about Polanski's sexual abuse case, which also may be why Homer strangled Bart for this matter.
