*Flanders blames his kids getting sick on God punishing him for watching ''Married...With Children''. ''Married...With Children'' was, like ''The Simpsons'', a FOX sitcom about a down-and-out, dysfunctional suburban family. Unlike ''The Simpsons'', ''Married...With Children ''was a live-action show, had stronger sexual jokes, a more cynical take on modern life, premiered the same day FOX premiered as a channel (in 1987), and ended after a ten-year run. The joke in which Peg compares the lifeless and limp plants to Al's bedroom performance were the kind of jokes that were heard on the show.

*[[Tattoo Annie]] has a tattoo on her back with [[w:Alfred E. Neuman|Alfred E. Neuman]] on it. The tattoo references MAD magazine fold-ins and the phrase "What Kind Of Slime Would I Marry?" folded in reads: "What, me worry?", which is Alfred E. Neuman's trademark phrase.

*Lisa says: "It seems like I've been wearing this same red dress forever!", which breaks 4th wall, because Lisa ''is'' wearing the same red dress in almost every episode.
