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.
