E Pluribus Wiggum/References
Wikisimpsons - The Simpsons Wiki
Cultural references
- The episode name is based on e pluribus unum.
- While Homer is eating at the many fast-food restaurants, the song "Hungry like the Wolf" by Duran Duran plays.
Trivia
- It's heavily implied in this episode that Moe Syzlak is unable to vote due to being a registered sex offender.
- This is notably one of the few episodes where Homer's perspective on a concept actually proves to be correct, as he imagines quite correctly what a Think Tank is when Lisa suggests it. This fact is even noted in the episode when, shortly after imagining it, sees his family staring at Homer as if completely shocked, and Homer says "hey! I can't get it right for once?"
Other Episode References
- Notice one of the people at Trader Earth's is Julio the gay man from Three Gays of the Condo.
- Birch Barlow from Sideshow Bob Roberts, We're on the Road to D'ohwhere, and You Kent Always Say What You Want appears in this episode.
- Juan Peron, former Argentinian president, was mentioned in a chat that Lenny and Carl had in Moe's Tavern. This fact made the episode be banned in Argentina, since they refer to Peron as a "dictator" while Mr. Peron is the only president in the country's history to be elected democratically by 3 periods. Confusion might be originated in the fact that Perón was ranked as General in the Argentinian Army.
