Cultural references
- The title is a reference to 1967 Swedish film "I Am Curious (Yellow)", notorious for its sexual content.
- Homer sings Donovan's “Mellow Yellow” when he tries to control his anger.
- This marks the second time a Donovan song has been used; in "Weekend at Burnsie's", Donovan's "Wear Your Love Like Heaven" was used during the montage of a stoned Homer getting ready for work.
- In "Danger Dog", Danger Dog says he has a date with "Sarah Jessica Barker" referring to Sarah Jessica Parker. The plot of the comic also references Underdog.
- The show Homer is watching, "When Dinosaurs Get Drunk", is replaced with another called "The Boring World of Niels Bohr". The opening image is of the scientist himself, and an expanded version of the Bohr model of the atom.
- The anthropomorphic animals in "Danger Dog" are reminiscent of those created by Scott Shaw, whose work has also appeared in the official Simpsons Comics from Bongo Comics.
- Marge suggests that Bart's comic could be a rip-off of Little Dot.
- When Homer “changes” into the Hulk, Bart says “Thank God his pants stayed on.” This refers to how the Hulk’s pants never rip off like the rest of his clothes, despite the increase in muscle mass.
- There are many references to both DC Comics and Marvel Comics: Stan Lee hums Spider-Man's theme song while re-arranging comics, right after breaking Database's Batmobile by crushing the Thing into it; he then claims that he made it better.
- This is Stan doing everything to promote Marvel Comics (which he used to run): the Thing and Spider-Man are Marvel properties, while the Batmobile is from DC Comics (as are, presumably, the comics he is putting to the back of the shelves).
- When Better than TV goes into bankruptcy, Milhouse says, "I guess the bubble burst", referring to the rise and fall of the dot.com industry.
- The voice actor who auditions to play Angry Dad is a caricature of (and is voiced by) Simpsons voice actor Dan Castellaneta.
- "Danger Dog" lives in large red fire hydrant, a parody of Danger Mouse living in a pillar box.
- One of BetterThanTV.com's cartoons is the series "Lou Rawls, Secret Agent", which features an animated Rawls in a trenchcoat trying to escape from a trap, singing "you'll never find... that microfilm of mine..."
Bloopers
- In Springfield Hospital, Maggie's ribbon is red for a second.
- Jessica Lovejoy has blonde hair.
