Cultural References
- Thelma & Louise: The 1991 film is parodied and referenced throughout the episode.
- Sugarland Express: Also referenced in the episode, particularly in the scenes showing dozens of police cars pursuing Marge and Ruth.
- The man in the telethon reading passages from his "Badger Falls" book is an obvious parody of Garrison Keillor and his Lake Wobegon stories.
- The ending of the episode is an homage to the crime drama series Dragnet.
- Lionel Hutz's line, "This isn't the YMCA," appears to be a reference to the Twilight Zone episode "Person or Persons Unknown," in which the protagonist snidely remarks at one point, "What? This isn't the YMCA?"
Songs / Music
- Looking for some appropriate music for a wild night out, Ruth Powers first mistakenly puts "Sunshine, Lollipops & Rainbows" by Lesley Gore on her car stereo.
- Ruth then puts on "Welcome to the Jungle" by Guns 'N Roses.
- Later, while in pursuit of Ruth and Marge in Ruth's car, Chief Wiggum puts "Sunshine, Lollipops & Rainbows" on the car stereo in his police cruiser (and sings along), apparently deeming it to be suitable "car chase" music.
- The distinctive four-note theme from Dragnet is played at the end of the closing sequence, just before the credits roll.
Trivia
- In the scene where Homer is talking through a bullhorn to Marge, Dan Castellaneta actually recorded the lines using a bullhorn.
