Trivia
- Ralph's teasing about Homer and a restaurant could be a reference to what he actually did do as said in 'New Kid on the Block' when he ate for hours on end until the restaurant kicked him out.
- The drinking bird Homer has "cover for him" was a gift from Herb in "Brother, Can You Spare Two Dimes?".
- When Homer is at the movie theater, someone (possibly Raphael, the Sarcastic Middle-Aged Clerk) suggests the movie "A Fridge Too Far", a joke of the WWII film title "A Bridge Too Far".
- The song "Push out the jive, bring in the love" by the Lostprophets most likely takes its name from the phrase used by Mr. Burns during exercise.
- The name of The Vast Waistband (the store Homer visits to buy a muumuu) is a pun on the pop-culture phrase "vast wasteland," which was used in the 1960s to describe how American television programs were devoid of quality programming.
- When Homer hits "TAB" thinking he'd get a drink while looking for the 'Any key', a startup sound from a Macintosh computer produced in 1995 is heard. This episode aired the same year.
- When Homer vented the toxic gas from the plant, thus ruining the farmers corn crop, the farmer says "Paul Newman's gunna have ma' legs broke!" when lamenting the loss of the corn (though the closed captions replaced "Paul Newman" with "Jollytime"). This is a reference to the legend made by the Newman's Own Popcorn company where Newman threatened people if they try to steal his popcorn recipe.
- A sign on Homer's car-stop reads "Give me a ride or everybody dies!"
