The Seven-Beer Snitch |
|
Trivia
- It is implied in one scene that Waylon Smithers did something extremely bad at a park when Chief Wiggum was on patrol at night that his not being arrested made clear his misdemeanor of not wearing a hat in public during the daytime ensured his immunity to being arrested for that ("Oh Smithers, if I didn't arrest you that night in the park, I'm not going to arrest you now..." )
Cultural references
- The title is a play on Billy Wilder's 1955 comedy The Seven Year Itch.
- The various prison scenes parody several different movies and TV shows, most notably Oz and Escape from Alcatraz.
- Marge refers to Fat Tony's son as Michael, a reference to the movie The Godfather. Michael would later be seen in season 18, in the episode "The Mook, the Chef, the Wife and Her Homer".
- When arresting Homer, Chief Wiggum references the television series CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.
- The hat Homer wears in prison is inspired by Simon Adebisi from the Oz series.
- This episode makes fun of the music of Philip Glass. When people are leaving during a piece of Beethoven Marge shouts "Wait! The next piece is an atonal medley by Philip Glass!" When she shouts this, everybody runs out of the hall, including the orchestra.
- A theatre marquee in Shelbyville advertises "Sideshow Mel in Equus".
- On the letter from Marge to Frank Gehry we can see an image of Snoopy. Another references to him is when Santa's Little Helper is flying a red plane in a red scarf, very much like Snoopy vs. the Red Baron. Or when Homer sleeps above a red dog house, like Snoopy usually does.
- Homer is seen trying to escape from the prisoners on a Segway PT.
- Frank Gehry is the first architect to appear on The Simpsons. There are several references to his unorthodox designs, such as Gehry crumpling a letter and throwing it, only to discover that it's the perfect building design.
- When being asked to be the prison snitch, Homer asks if he will eat cheese and imitates Wallace from Wallace and Gromit.
- The conductor of the orchestra resembles Herbert Von Karajan, a German conductor famous for his Beethoven conductings.
- When Mr. Burns is reading out the list of drugs, one of them is blue bomber (which is a nickname for the video game character Mega Man).
- Some of the names citizens suggest they rename Springfield to escape its creditors are: Lima, Peru (Lenny), Gotham City (Carl), Wiggumville (Chief Wiggum) and Burger King (Barney Gumble).
