== Cultural references ==
*[[Don Bookner]] always felt something special in [[Homer]], and compared it with what fans feel towards the [[Chicago Cubs]].
*During his retirement, Don compares himself to [[Fred Flintstone]], and says he would be "at the end of the dinosaur tail". This is a reference to ''[[The Flintstones]]'' opening.
*Homer has a stomachache when he realizes that he must do his job for the first time. Marge tells him that there is a word in Yiddish for what he feels (''shpilkes''), and Homer replies there are a lot of funny {{W|Yiddish words used in English}} for not so funny things.
*Attractions at the circus:
**Freaks and Geeks, a reference to ''{{W|Freaks and Geeks}}''.
**Drillbit Taylor, a reference to ''{{W|Drillbit Taylor}}''.
**Funny People, a reference to ''{{W|Funny People}}''.
**Superfat, a reference to ''{{W2|Superbad|film}}''.
**The 400-Year-Old Virgin, a reference to ''{{W|The 40-Year-Old Virgin}}''.
**World's Longest Fingernails
*[[Celtic Charms]] are a parody of [[Lucky Charms]].
*[[Sven Golly]]'s name is a pun on {{W|Svengali}}, a manipulative character which was featured in the novel ''{{W2|Trilby|novel}}''.
**It may also be a pun on the hosted horror movie show ''{{W|Svengoolie}}''.
*The ride attraction at {{ap|Itchy & Scratchy Land|theme park}} where they were flying through [[Springfield]] is a reference to ''{{W|Mystery Science Theater 3000}}''.
*A hypnotized [[Cletus]] proves the {{W|Zorn's lemma}}.
*"{{W|Buddy Ebsen}} died here" can be read on the [[Springfield General Hospital]] board.
*The saxophone riff that [[Lisa]] plays for [[Homer]] is from the 1978 song "{{W2|Baker Street|song}}" by {{W|Gerry Rafferty}}.
*''[[The Shawshank Redemption]]'': [[Bart]] spray-paints "[[El Barto]] was here" on a wall, and Homer follows suit with "[[El Homo|Homo]] too". The scene is a callback to the halfway house apartment to which both Brooks and Red are paroled. Brooks finds himself unable to adjust to life outside of prison and hangs himself from a support beam, first carving "BROOKS WAS HERE" into the beam. Years later, after Andy's escape, Red is paroled and lives in the same apartment. Red also struggles with adjusting to the outside world, but rather than killing himself, he decides to take Andy up on his invitation to join him in Mexico. Before he leaves, he carves "SO WAS RED" into the support beam next to Brooks's graffiti.
[[File:BartsNewFriend - Maggie.png|250px|thumb|Charlie Hebdo shooting tribute]]
*There is a tribute to the {{W|Charlie Hebdo shooting}}: Just before the closing credits, [[Maggie]] appears on a screen card holding a flag that reads "[[Je suis Charlie]]". Maggie's appearance resembles that of the woman in ''{{W|Liberty Leading the People}}''.
*[[Soarin' Over Springfield]] is a parody of {{W|Soarin'|Soaring Over the Horizon}}, a ride that can be found in several Disney parks.
*The final scene, where [[Sven Golly]] is in an underground prison under the [[Springfield Police Station|police station]] and [[Chief Wiggum]] plays chess with him:
**Is a reference to the {{W2|X-Men|film series|''X-Men'' film series}}. Magneto is locked in a plastic prison at the end of ''{{W2|X-Men|film}}'' and the beginning of ''{{W2|X2|film}}''. Golly's prison bears a very strong resemblance to Magneto's.
**{{ap|Loki|Marvel Comics}} appearing in the prison may be a reference to ''{{W2|The Avengers|2012 film}}'' where Loki was locked in a glass prison.

== Continuity ==
*{{ap|Itchy & Scratchy Land|theme park}} appears again. ("[[Itchy & Scratchy Land]]")
*In "[[Homer the Father]]" and "[[Love Is a Many-Strangled Thing]]", [[Homer]] previously stopped from strangling Bart ever again.
*[[Marge]] mentions the time she cut off [[Homer]]'s thumb. ("[[Trilogy of Error]]")
*Homer spray paints his graffiti tag [[El Homo|[El] Homo]]. ("[[Large Marge]]")

== Cultural references ==
*The episode has many references to the 1961 film ''{{W2|Breakfast at Tiffany's|film}}'', adapted from the {{W2|Breakfast at Tiffany's|novella|novella of the same name}}:

**The song playing in the credits was "Moon River"
**In two scenes, [[Mary Spuckler|Mary]] is dressed as Holly.
***In one, she is wearing the same black dress and hat with the white ribbon around the hat.
***While playing guitar, Mary is dressed similarly to Holly while she plays guitar, albeit with a red bandana as opposed to Holly's white.
**In the film, Holly left her "family" to set up a new life in New York, much like Mary does here, though her dad comes to get her, not her husband like in the film.
*In Mary's apartment is someone called H. Golightly, a reference to Holly Golightly, the protagonist of the novella ''{{W2|Breakfast at Tiffany's|novella}}'', from which a film adaptation was made, starring {{W|Audrey Hepburn}} as the protagonist; Hepburn sang "Moon River" in the film.
*The couch gag is a reference to the ''[[The Longest Daycare]]''.
*''[[Pappa Pia!]]'' is a reference to the musical ''{{W|Mamma Mia!}}''.

== Trivia ==
*The items in Bart's box of "precious junk" include:
**Photos of his old girlfriends
**His slingshot
**A [[Krusty the Clown]] ashtray
**A square piece of {{W|ravioli}} in a ziplock bag labelled "Ravioli that looks like me"
*The names that appear in the listing of [[Mary Spuckler]]'s apartment include:
**T. Bickle
**[[Mary Spuckler]]
**H. Golightly
**{{W|Popeye Doyle}}
*"Moonshine River" and "[[Homer at the Bat]]" currently hold the record for highest number of guest stars in one episode, with eleven.
*This episode premiered in Australia on February 10, 2013 at 6pm local time on {{W|Network 10|TEN}}.
*This is the second time that The Simpsons traveled to [[New York]]. The first time was in the [[Season 9]] premiere episode: "[[The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson]]".
*In a promo for the episode, basketball player {{W|Jeremy Lin}} of the New York Knicks appears dancing during the scene where [[Mary Spuckler|Mary]] sings [[The Ballad of Cylinder Head]]. However, he was replaced by a [[New York Yankees]] player, probably because Lin moved to Houston Rockets before the episode aired.
*[[Don Pardo]]'s appearance makes him the oldest guest star the show has ever had.

== Goofs ==
*In the queue for the ''Romeo and Juliet'' play, many of the people standing in line appear in the line more than once.
*The animation of the Simpsons in the couch gag contest notification segment is a bit off-model, one error being that in most shots, Bart's head is too tall. This could explain that this segment was rushed to be put in the season premiere.
*On the close shot of Bart buzzing for Mary, her name is near the top. However, when zoomed out, he is pressing the bottom button.
*At the end of ''Romeo and Juliet'', Lisa is seen lying on the ground in costume as Juliet, but she suddenly runs to Marge's side in her usual clothes very quickly.

== Cultural references ==
*The episode has many references to the 1961 film ''{{W2|Breakfast at Tiffany's|film}}'', adapted from the {{W2|Breakfast at Tiffany's|novella|novella of the same name}}:
**The title is a reference to the song "{{W|Moon River}}", which is from the film.
**The song playing in the credits was "Moon River"
**In two scenes, [[Mary Spuckler|Mary]] is dressed as Holly.
***In one, she is wearing the same black dress and hat with the white ribbon around the hat.
***While playing guitar, Mary is dressed similarly to Holly while she plays guitar, albeit with a red bandana as opposed to Holly's white.
**In the film, Holly left her "family" to set up a new life in New York, much like Mary does here, though her dad comes to get her, not her husband like in the film.
*In Mary's apartment is someone called H. Golightly, a reference to Holly Golightly, the protagonist of the novella ''{{W2|Breakfast at Tiffany's|novella}}'', from which a film adaptation was made, starring {{W|Audrey Hepburn}} as the protagonist; Hepburn sang "Moon River" in the film.
*The couch gag is a reference to the ''[[The Longest Daycare]]''.
*''[[Pappa Pia!]]'' is a reference to the musical ''{{W|Mamma Mia!}}''.
*''[[Death of a Salesman: The Seussical]]'' is a parody of ''{{W|Death of a Salesman}}'' and {{W|Dr. Seuss}} films.
*[[Samsun]] is a parody of {{W|Samsung}}.
*[[LC]] is a parody of {{W|LG}}.
*{{W|September 11 attacks|9/11}} is touched upon slightly. Bart tells Homer that he "would love New York, now that [his] two least favorite buildings have been obliterated". Bart then quickly adds "Old Penn Station and Shea Stadium", after a pause.

== Trivia ==
*The items in Bart's box of "precious junk" include:
**Photos of his old girlfriends

**A [[Krusty the Clown]] ashtray

*"Moonshine River" and "[[Homer at the Bat]]" currently hold the record for highest number of guest stars in one episode, with eleven.
*This episode premiered in Australia on February 10, 2013 at 6pm local time on {{W|Network 10|TEN}}.
*This is the second time that The Simpsons traveled to [[New York]]. The first time was in the [[Season 9]] premiere episode: "[[The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson]]".
*In a promo for the episode, basketball player {{W|Jeremy Lin}} of the New York Knicks appears dancing during the scene where [[Mary Spuckler|Mary]] sings [[The Ballad of Cylinder Head]]. However, he was replaced by a [[New York Yankees]] player, probably because Lin moved to Houston Rockets before the episode aired.
*[[Don Pardo]]'s appearance makes him the oldest guest star the show has ever had.

== Continuity ==
*[[Mr. Burns]] threatens to lower a [[dome]] on [[Springfield]] again. This has been done before. (''[[The Simpsons Movie]]'')
**Also, [[Lou]] states that they could just dig a way out if he did lower the dome. Ever since the movie was released, a very common question among ''Simpsons'' fans has been why no one in town thought of digging a way out from under the [[EPA]]'s dome. It could be that due to the army surrounding the dome that if they did dig themselves out they would be thrown back into the dome.
*[[Maggie]] points a gun at Mr. Burns again, wanting to kill him. ("[[Who Shot Mr. Burns?]]")
*Mr. Burns manages to get the whole town to resent him, also similar to "Who Shot Mr. Burns?".
*When the Springfieldians have their half-hour turns at taking revenge on Mr. Burns, a rota of name and times is seen. One of the names on it is [[Artie Ziff]], revealing him to be still alive and apparently out of prison.

== Goofs ==
*It had been mentioned before that Mr. Burns had multiple illnesses ("[[The Mansion Family]]") and that he thought he was indestructible because the diseases canceled each other out.
*Apparently, Nelson Muntz had Mr. Burns at 1:30PM one Saturday. It was Abraham Simpson's turn for Burns. Jimbo Jones then says he has Mr. Burns for an hour, but his time was 9:30 and he was using him during Carl and Ms. Hoover's time. Plus, everyone has Mr. Burns for thirty minutes. Dolph Starbeam says that it's Saturday, so he gets to use him.
*Otto Mann's time is at 9:00PM, but when he gives Mr. Burns to Lisa, it is sunny outside. Plus, Homer Simpson is 9:00AM and not 9:30PM.
*At Town hall, [[Astrid Weller]] changes color from her colors from "[[Mom and Pop Art]]" to light brown hair and a blue outfit.

== Cuts ==
*In a re-run of this episode on November 28, 2010 on Sky1 in the UK, the scene where Otto uses Mr. Burns as a {{w|Bong|bong}} was cut.

== Cults ==
[[Movementarianism]] spoofed several cults, among them:
*Moonies: Where inductees were led to a compound with balloons and banners reading "Welcome Home, Brothers & Sisters"; heavy involvement in group activities with little, if any, privacy, and mass marriages where couples were married en masse by Sun Myung Moon.
*{{w|Osho (Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh)|Bahagwan Shree Rajneesh}} (also called "Osho"): Like [[The Leader]], the Bhagwan was famous for driving in a {{w|Rolls-Royce (car)|Rolls-Royce}} while his followers lined the side of the road to watch him go by and greet their leader on his daily drive-bys. At one point Osho held the world record for ownership of Rolls-Royces by an individual, 93 in all.
*Aum Shinrikyo: The Japanese cult responsible for the 1995 sarin gas attack in Kobe, Japan. Inductees were subject to intense sessions in order to breakdown beliefs in their former lives and signed a statement saying "I hereby entrust power of attorney and all my assets to Aum", similar to Movementarians signing over all title to the Leader. Aum was led by Shoko Ashara who propezied the world was doomed and he was the only way to a higher world.
*Scientology: Belief in an extraterrestrial power.

*Lisa should be in a different class to Bart, since they are in different grades.
*Ned Flanders is dispensing beer in his rumpus room, but in "[[Hurricane Neddy]]", Ned mentions that he doesn't drink, dance or swear.
*Despite his death, Bleeding Gums Murphy appears briefly in the orientation film scene. One possibility was that the Murphy who died was just a lying imposter, who had locked the real Murphy in a bunker. At one stage, the real Bleeding Gums Murphy managed to get out of the bunker and hide from Lisa, or maybe the episode where Murphy died was just a whole dream of Lisa's and Bleeding Gums Murphy is still alive and well.
**But, because of "[[Alone Again, Natura-Diddily]]", the former is true.

*[[Principal Skinner]]'s prisoner number was 24601, which was {{W|Jean Valjean}}'s prisoner number in ''{{W|Les Misérables}}''.
*The "junk" items Homer pulls out of the box include the {{W|United States Declaration of Independence}}, a copy of ''[[Action Comics|Action Comics #1]], {{W|Inverted Jenny}} stamps and a {{W|Stradivarius}} violin.

*The cover of ''[[Bigger Than Jesus]]'', the Be-Sharps' second album, features the group walking on water—a triple parody:
**a direct parody of the art on [[The Beatles]] album ''{{w|Abbey Road}}'',

**a reference to {{w|John Lennon}}'s remark that the Beatles were {{w|More popular than Jesus}}.
*Apu says that "[[A Be Sharps Surgeon General Warning]]" is worse than the song about {{Ch|Mr. T}}. Homer then says "I pity the fool who doesn't like he.", copying Mr. T's catchphrase.

Right when the episode blacks out and the credits appear, Homer says: ''"I'd like to thank you on behalf of the group and I hope we passed the audition,"'' an actual quote by [[John Lennon]] spoken right after they played "Get Back" on the rooftop.

== Goofs ==

*When the group (with Barney) performs at the [[Statue of Liberty]], Chief Wiggum's voice can clearly be heard.
*Homer refers to Joe Piscopo leaving Saturday Night Live in 1985 when setting the scene for the story, but Piscopo left the show in 1984, before the show underwent a cast overhaul for season 10 (and again in seasons 11 and 12).
*In the final shot of the episode, Chief Wiggum is drawn off-model, and [[Lou]] disappears.
*Homer and Marge's bedroom had photos of Bart and Lisa when they were 10 and 8 years old. However, the story takes place when Bart and Lisa were only three years old and one year old respectively.
*After finding out Marge was pregnant with Lisa, he pulled out all but four hairs, but in this episode, Homer was seen with his hair before the second pregnancy.
*When Comic Book Guy shows Bart and Lisa a sample of ''[[Melvin and the Squirrels]]'', behind it is another record when Comic Book Guy takes it out, but when Comic Book Guy says, "''Melvin and the Squirrels''. Part of the rodent invasion in the early 60s", another record of ''Melvin and the Squirrels'' appears.
*The 1985 Grammy Awards was the 27th, not the 29th.
*In a shot of the church congregation during the Be Sharps' performance, a woman sitting in a pew above Marge on screen has the bottom half of her body missing.

{{EpisodePrevNextRef|Treehouse of Horror VIII|Bart Star}}

== Cultural references ==
*The episode title is a pun on the 1970s television series ''{{w|The Partridge Family}}''.
*The [[Bloodbath & Beyond Gun Shop]], where [[Homer]] buys his gun:
**The store is based on the shop that the {{w|Los Angeles Police Department|LAPD}} went to during the {{w|North Hollywood shootout|North Hollywood bank robbery}} when they ran out of ammunition. Actually, they were so out gunned, they were looking for higher powered weapons.
**The store's name is a pun on {{w|Bed Bath & Beyond}}.
*The song playing when Homer is sitting and watching things go by while he is waiting five days for his gun is ''The Waiting'' by {{w|Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers}}. Petty rarely lets his music be used on television, but being a fan of ''The Simpsons'', he allowed them to use it for this episode.<ref name=scully>{{Cite video | people=Scully, Mike| year = 2006 | title = The Simpsons The Complete Ninth Season DVD commentary for the episode "The Cartridge Family" | medium = DVD | publisher = [[20th Century Fox]]}}</ref>
*The snippet of music at the end when Marge leaves the hotel with the gun is from the theme to the 1960s TV show ''{{w|The Avengers (TV series)|The Avengers}}''.

== Trivia ==
*[[Springfield]] appears to have very loose gun laws, the only one mentioned being the five day waiting period.
*It is legal to own a fully automatic weapon in Springfield as displayed at the firing range.
*[[Lenny]] and [[Moe]] appear to be owning AR-15s with Moe's being converted to automatic.
*[[Mr. Burns]] in an earlier episode mentioned that Homer not only was definitely not his assailant, but he couldn't have been his assailant due to lacking the appropriate fingers and the cranial capacity to fire a gun.
*Homer background check states he was put in a mental institution ("[[Stark Raving Dad]]"), has frequent problems with alcohol and beat up former President [[George H.W. Bush]] ("[[Two Bad Neighbors]]").

== Goofs ==
*Several people at the soccer match change seats.
*In the shot of the crowd cheering, [[Arnie Pie]] has [[Charlie]]'s colors.
*When Lenny punches [[Principal Skinner]], [[Superintendent Chalmers]]' hair changes from grey to blue.
*When the family is having dinner, [[Marge]]'s necklace briefly changes from red to white in one scene.

{{EpisodePrevNextRef|Dog of Death|Black Widower}}
==Debut Appearance==
*[[Lurleen Lumpkin]]

== Cultural references ==
*The episode title (which is also [[Homer]]'s "manager" stage name) is a play on {{w|Colonel Tom Parker}}, who managed {{w|Elvis Presley}}.
*The country-western themed variety show ''[[Ya Hoo!]]'' is a parody of ''{{w|Hee Haw}}''.
*The movies mentioned at the beginning are parodies:
**''Honey, I Hit a School Bus'' (''{{W|Honey, I Shrunk the Kids}}'')
**''[[Look Who's Oinking]]'' (''{{W|Look Who's Talking}}'')
*During his drive to [[The Beer -N- Brawl]], Homer passes a boy playing a banjo on a porch, a reference to the "Dueling Banjos" sequence in the film ''{{W|Deliverance}}''.
*The Beer -N- Brawl redneck bar is based on the bar in the film ''{{W|Urban Cowboy}}''.
*[[Lenny]] sings "{{W|There's a Kind of Hush (All Over the World)}}" by {{W|The Carpenters}}.
*Homer says that the last song before Lurleen's "[[Your Wife Don't Understand You]]" that he could not get out of his mind was "{{W|Funkytown}}" by {{W|Lipps Inc}}.

== Trivia ==
*At [[The Beer -N- Brawl]]:
**A horse is seen hitched outside.
**The bar sells [[Fudd Beer]], as well as the High Tar variant of [[Laramie Cigarettes]].
*[[Yodelin' Zeke]] appears both as a solo artist (at The Beer -N- Brawl) and as part of the ''[[Ya Hoo!]]'' cast. At The Beer -N- Brawl, Zeke is hit over the head with a chair. When Zeke is introduced in the ''Ya Hoo!'' opening credits in the episode in which [[Lurleen Lumpkin]] appeared, he has bandages on his head, indicating that the episode was produced not long after the chair incident at The Beer -N- Brawl.
*When the family arrives at [[Springfield Googolplex Theatres]], they park in "Section M"
*The Royal King Trailer Park has gone 2 days without a tornado.
*On top of the County Dump is a cow.
*The interior shots of the Gogoloplex are clearly reused shots of the Aztec Theater.

*Storage rhymes with Orange

== Continuity ==
*[[Brunella Pommelhorst]] appears for the first time since announcing she was going to have a sex-change operation ("[[My Fair Laddy]]"). However, she looks exactly the same as before, so it would seem that she decided not to go through with the operation.
*{{Ch|Joey Kramer}}'s appearance references "[[Flaming Moe's]]".
*Some of Edna's previous relationships have been seen or referred in previous episodes.
**[[Principal Skinner]]. ("[[Grade School Confidential]]")

**[[Disco Stu]]. ("[[Bart Gets a "Z"]]")
**[[Joey Kramer]]. ("[[Flaming Moe's]]")

== Goofs ==
*[[Sherri]], [[Terri]] and [[Wendell Borton]] move from the audience to the band.
*The coffee mug Homer borrowed from [[Ned Flanders]] is a right-handed mug, but Ned is left-handed.
*Ned says he and Edna have never been "formally introduced" despite meeting and talking multiple times in previous episodes, including going on a date with each other in "[[Alone Again, Natura-Diddily]]" where Ned was put off by Edna just using him to get Skinner jealous.

==Notes==
[[File:Nedliest Catch notice.jpg|250px|right]]
*In UK airings, a note at the scene where Marge tells viewers to go to thesimpsons.com to vote says "Unfortunately, voting is not available in this area", and a voiceover is heard over the credits by Homer and Marge, telling viewers that in reruns or on DVDs it's too late to vote.

There's No Disgrace Like Home/References

2020-06-01T22:45:40Z

Stevec: /* Trivia */

{{TabR|gags=yes}}

{{EpisodePrevNextRef |Homer's Odyssey|Bart the General}}

== Trivia ==
*This episode was the first broadcast by the BBC, on BBC One on 23 November 1996, making it the first episode to be seen by UK terrestrial viewers (the satellite channel Sky One had shown the program since 1990). Moving to BBC Two from 10 March 1997, it continued on the BBC until terrestrial rights moved to Channel 4 in 2004.
*This episode also debuted in [[List of episodes in Australia|Australia]] on Channel 10 on 1991.
*Red, purple, green, blue: The colors of Jell-o molds Marge makes for the picnic.
*A sign outside Burns manor reads, "Poachers will be shot."
*Smithers wears his plant I.D. at the picnic.
*This is the first episode where Bart says his catchphrase, "Don't have a cow". It is also the first where Mr. Burns says his two famous catchphrases: "Excellent" and "Release the hounds."
*The first episode that the Simpsons have been shot at.
*The police dog's name is Bobo.
*The phone number for Dr. Monroe's center is 1-800-555-HUGS.
*This episode is the first time the audience sees the cartoon Itchy and Scratchy. In this cartoon, Scratchy sticks his head into a mouse hole, and Itchy blows his head off by making him swallow a bomb.
*When Homer is saying that they have to get 250 dollars for the therapy in the background, you can see a teddy bear on the lower shelf near the stereo that looks exactly like Mr Burns' bear Bobo.
*Bart and Lisa's college fund amounts to $88.50.
*Their TV is a Motorola, and the pawn clerk knows Homer's name when he enters.
*The "perfect" family that Homer encounters at the end of Mr. Burns' picnic is seen again later, behind the Simpsons at Dr. Monroe's office.
*Dr. Monroe keeps his aggression therapy mallets in a gun cabinet.
*The family acts wildly out of character in this episode: Homer is much more caring and actually suggests to eat at the dinner table instead of watching TV. Marge is a drunkard who behaves a lot like Homer. While Bart and Maggie have the same personalities, Lisa seems to act much more bratty, which is reminiscent of her actions on "[[The Tracey Ullman Show]]".
*Mr. Burns looking at an index card to greet the Simpson family is reference to [[wikipedia:Ronald Reagan|Ronald Reagan]], who was known to use index cards to greet families at his parties.

== Goofs ==
*When Marge gets drunk at the picnic, she falls on Homer while saying "Homie, did you try the punch?", her lips don't move.
*When the Simpsons are spying on the old man, the boy and the old woman, all three of them disappear and then reappear between shots. Whenever there is a wide shot from outside the house, they are not there but when there is a close shot from outside or inside they are there.
*As Homer is carrying the TV towards the pawn shop in the first shot, the left window is clear. There is then a tracking shot of the family walking and when they get in front of the store the window has writing on it saying Pawn Shop. The writing is in black and the next shot when they are talking the writing is now dark brown.
*Before Homer enters the pawn shop, you can see the TV is a purple color. As he enters the store, the color of the TV is now blue.  
*When the TV shows the eagle give food to his children, the man on the TV says "the father of the family"; later, he says it was the mother.
*When the people are clapping, two of the people switch color skins. The first has yellow skin, the second has brown, and in the next frame, the first has brown skin, and the second has yellow. It continues throughout the clapping.
*On driving home from the power plant, where's Maggie?
*Lou's skin color is yellow. In subsequent episodes, he is an African-American.
*On Bart's shocking machine, there are five buttons, but on Maggie's there are four buttons.
*This is [[Matt Groening]]'s tenth favorite episode.

== Appearances in other media ==
''There's No Disgrace Like Home'' makes a cameo appearance in the 1990 film ''[[wikipedia:Die Hard 2|Die Hard 2:Die Harder]]''. The scene of the Simpson family at Dr. Monroe's clinic shocking each other appears on Holly McClane's flight; ironically it is shown after the stewardess says that the passengers are getting restless about not landing (terrorists had captured the runways and prevented any flights from landing). The captain suggests to her, "TV, that usually calms the passengers down."

In the episode "Glen Campbell" of the TV series ''[[wikipedia:Space Ghost Coast to Coast|Space Ghost Coast to Coast]]'', Space Ghost and Zorak watch the episode at the very beginning. Space Ghost comments, "Er, which one's Homer again? The baby?"

== Cultural references ==
*[[wikipedia:The Wizard of Oz|The Wizard of Oz]]: The episode title is a pun on the movie's famous phrase "there's no place like home".
*[[wikipedia:Citizen Kane|Citizen Kane]]: Burns' mansion is based on the mansion from Citizen Kane.
*[[wikipedia:Batman (TV series)|Batman]]: Homer's "stately Burns manor" is a pun.
*[[wikipedia:Freaks|Freaks]]: One scene has Homer's family repetitively say "one of us".
*[[wikipedia:Hey, Brother, Pour the Wine|Hey, Brother, Pour the Wine]]: Marge sings this song.
*[[wikipedia:A Clockwork Orange (film)|A Clockwork Orange]]: electric shock scene is a parody.
*[[wikipedia:Paul Mauriat|Paul Mauriat]]'s instrumental hit "[[wikipedia:L'amour est bleu|Love is Blue]]" plays in the reception room of Monroe's clinic.

*The innovative story telling style shown in this episode was also used in an episode of ''{{w|Malcolm in the Middle}}''. The seventh episode of the seventh season ("Blackout") involved the same series of events being seen from several different view points. The character of [[Thelonius]] is voiced by [[Frankie Muniz]], who played the titular Malcolm.
**The 2003 Patrick Swayze movie ''{{w|11:14}}'' is another example of this type of story-telling.
**The 1999 film "{{w|Go (1999 film)|Go}}" is another example of this type of story-telling, and elements from this film were even used in this episode such as when [[Rainier Wolfcastle]] smashed [[Marge]]'s Car with golf clubs due to their ramming into his car by accident, which was based on when [[Jack Nicholson]]'s character performs a very similar action to what Rainier Wolfcastle did.
*[[Ned]] reads a modified book of ''[[Harry Potter]]'' where {{ch|Harry Potter|Harry}} and his friends go to Hell for practicing witchcraft, which is a reference to how many individuals in organized religion dislike the ''Harry Potter'' series for their magic theme because of magic often being associated with the occult and Satanism.
*In French class, the teacher says "La grenouille mange le pamplemousse" which means: "The frog eats the grapefruit." It is an insult to call a French person a frog, or a grapefruit.
*[[Fort Fragg]] is a parody of {{w|Fort Bragg}}.
*When [[Doctor Nick]] asks [[Captain McAllister]] if he wants a "lengthening or a widening" it is a reference to male enhancement surgery.

== Trivia ==
*Whenever Lisa sprints, techno music plays.

== Continuity ==
*A [[Linguo]] is seen within [[Bart]]'s toys in "[[Treehouse of Horror XVIII]]".

== Goofs ==
*When [[Lisa]] is looking at the bus, [[Milhouse]] can be seen sitting on it, even though he is with [[Bart]].
*During Lisa's segment time seems to move really quickly. When she leaves Thelonius she says it's 11am, but when she goes to [[Moe's Tavern]] a few seconds later it's noon, and then when she is at [[Dr. Nick]]'s it is 2:45pm.
*Time during [[Bart]]'s segment seems to move even faster: When Fat Tony and his gang found out that Bart was wearing a wire it was noon, and when Bart gets hit by the truck [[Marge]] and Lisa stole from [[Cletus]] it's almost 3pm. This is possibly because Homer's segment was longest, so possibly the producers had to shorten the episode down so it fit into the time slot.
*In Bart's segment, Bart counts two of his keys as the same one (The key to Milhouse's house and Lisa's bike).
*In Lisa's segment, Homer gets drunk as soon as Lisa leaves the tavern, showing time goes very quickly. Of course blood loss could account for the fast action of the alcohol.
*In the scene where Lisa runs up the stairs with Linguo, there are no pictures on the wall.
*[[Chief Wiggum]] did not go to 123 Fake Street to catch [[Bart]] and [[Milhouse]] (where they both were hiding), but because that was where Marge told him to go to arrest her for accidentally cutting off [[Homer]]'s thumb.(Actually, Bart and Milhouse had illegal fireworks, so it wouldn't matter why Wiggum was there.)
*When [[Clancy]] says "my bad", there is static on the radio. In Bart's scene the wire is thrown on the floor after Clancy is heard.

Apart from the above mentionings of Apu becoming a husband and father, and the divorce of Milhouse's parents, the death of Bleeding Gums Murphy, and the romance between Principal Skinner and Mrs. Krabappel are also referred to. Even [[Lisa]]'s vegetarianism is referred to if you count her disgust after Homer says, "Why have hamburger when you can have steak?"

== Goofs ==
*In the opening scene, [[Maggie Simpson|Maggie]] is not wearing her bow at first, but then it appears.
*Homer makes the dating video and changes scenes with star wipes, but in the actual movie there are no starwipes.
