Cultural references
- “The Duff Book of World Records” and its origin are references to Guinness World Records. Lisa also said this book was originally made to more discussing in taverns and it is true about Guinness World Records, too.
- When Homer shows The Duff Book of World Records to Lenny and Carl, there is a picture of a man with the most clothespins affixed to one's face. This person really exists and his name is Kevin Thackwell.
- When Homer falls down the Pyramid, he holds on to one of the people, only with one hand and then twists his body around to reach another part to hold on. This resembles the opening scene of Mission:Impossible 2, where Tom Cruise climbs up the Rocky Mountains.
- When Agnes Skinner and Hans Moleman run away from the giant ball of people, it strongly resembles the scene where Indiana Jones runs away from the giant rock at the beginning of Raiders of the Lost Ark.
- Count Fudgula is a parody of the General Mills cereal mascot Count Chocula.
- The song that is played when the city bans candy is Bow Wow Wow’s “I Want Candy”. The song played during the end credits is "Sugar Sugar" by The Archies.
- The chase scene between the police boat and Homer's boat has a couple of elements from typical Hollywood movies. There is a couple of workers holding a sheet of glass between two boats, and when the police boat swerves to avoid them, it nearly hits a women and her baby carriage (on a jet ski).
- As the chocolate figure of Johnny Depp melts in the bonfire, it strongly resembles the famous painting, The Scream.
- A movie by Erin Brockovich was mentioned in this episode for many times.
- When Homer and policemen run on ships, it is a parody of the series Miami Vice.
