Trivia[]

  • In the scene where Bart goes through several files in Chief Wiggum's police closet, he briefly shudders when he finds the file for "Terwilliger, R." Other files are for "Riviera, N.", "Krustofsky, H.", and of course "Simpson, H."
  • In the end credits it says that this episode was dedicated to the memory of Sunni Walton O'Neil, an animator for The Simpsons.
  • When Bart looks through the police records, he finds Homer's and comments, "Wow, Homer's been in jail six times." Originally, the line after that was, "Aw, he killed a swan at the zoo," but the line was changed to "Aw, Mom's only been in jail twice." The resulting line change raises questions of how Marge's arrest information can be on Homer's police record.
  • There is a Simpsons Tapped Out quest with the same name. Ralph is unlocked with his house.
  • The scene where Bart tries to call the abandoned Morningwood Penitentiary to warn that the electric chair is on, an officer is on the phone to his wife Martha, with a sign that reads "Cell Block H". Which may be a reference to the late 70s, early 80s Australian soap opera "Prisoner: Cell Block H", which aired in the United States. The officer also resembles a few officers seen on Prisoner: Cell Block H.

Previous Episode References[]

  • Bart's line about Marge being in jail twice is a reference to the season three episode "Homer Alone" (where Marge was arrested for obstructing traffic after having a nervous breakdown and stopping her car in the middle of the road) and "Marge in Chains" (where Marge is put in jail for absentmindedly shoplifting bourbon).
    • Homer is said to have been in jail six times. This presumably includes when he is caught stealing Moe Szyslak's car (with Moe's consent) in "Dumbbell Indemnity", when he was driving while intoxicated after a day at the Duff brewery on "Duffless", when he triple-parked outside the Kwik-E-Mart, confessed to Marge that he was going to buy beer for Dolph, Jimbo, and Kearney (though Kearney is of age to buy alcohol for himself); stole Marge's police officer hat, and resisted arrest after waiving his right to be silent on "The Springfield Connection", when he was caught speeding in "One Fish, Two Fish, Blowfish, Blue Fish", and (in the original script and closed captions) an unnamed time he killed a swan at the zoo. The sixth time is not mentioned.
  • "I Love Lisa": A Simpson kid reluctantly becomes friends with Ralph Wiggum.
  • Homer's Barbershop Quartet and Two Dozen and One Greyhounds: Chief Wiggum and Sarah are watching TV in their bedroom.
  • "Brother, Can You Spare Two Dimes": Homer has issues with his sperm (being rendered sterile from working at the nuclear plant/the interactive sex game ends with him running out of sperm).
  • "The Telltale Head": Bart tries to be friends with Dolph, Jimbo, and Kearney.
  • "Duffless" and "Bart the Murderer": Children laugh and/or cheer over something bad happening to Principal Skinner (gets hit with Lisa's steroid-pumped tomato and goes into trauma from PTSD/Mrs. Krabappel tearfully announcing that Principal Skinner is missing/Skinner getting choked out by the robot).
  • "Bart's Inner Child": Ralph gets hurt on a trampoline (bites his tongue while jumping/flies off after high-fiving Bart).

Goofs[]

  • Yellowbow

    Maggie with a yellow bow

    Edna Krabappel is missing when the Robot entered the room.
  • As Troy McClure is talking and the Simpson family is on the Knowledgium runway, Maggie's bow is colored yellow.
  • When Homer is playing the "Let's Make a Baby" video game: the announcer says "You are out of sperm." The closed captioning reads, "Your score is zero".
  • When the Simpsons are at the museum, Bart says he's going to go toss the virtual salad, but the closed captioning says "I'm going to crawl inside the Invisible Frenchman."
  • The door leading to the electric chair initially has " Danger" written in red text, but after Bart opens the door it is written in black text.
