{{EpisodePrevNextRef|When Flanders Failed|Homer Defined}}

== Debut appearances ==
*[[Princess Opal]]
*[[Jack Larson]] of [[Laramie Cigarettes]]
*[[Springfield Mafia]]
**[[Fat Tony]]
**[[Legs and Louie]]

== Cultural references ==
*This episode takes a lot of plot points from the film ''{{W|Goodfellas}}''. As in the film, a school aged boy mixes drinks for the mob gang, and there is also a cigarette hijacking. Bart's work for Fat Tony mirrors the rise of young Henry Hill.
*''Ah, Fudge!'' is also a common {{w|minced oath}} for the {{W|f-word}}.
*The wrapper design for [[Ah Fudge! (chocolate bar)|Ah Fudge! chocolate bar]] is based on the {{W|Hershey bar}}.
*The scene where [[Lisa]] waves to Bart as he tries to get on the [[School Bus|school bus]] is a reference to ''{{W2|The French Connection|film}}''.
*The song Bart sings in the kitchen is [[Frank Sinatra]]'s ''{{W2|Witchcraft|1957 song}}''.

== Trivia ==
*[[Fat Tony]]'s prisoner number was 8F03, the production code for this episode.
*All the horses in the third race at Shelbyville Downs are named for famous cartoon phrases:
**''Sufferin' Succotash'' ({{W2|Sylvester|Looney Tunes}})
**''Yabba-Dabba-Doo'' ([[Fred Flintstone]])
**''Ooh Ain't I A Stinker'' ({{W|Bugs Bunny}})
**''I Yam What I Yam'' ([[Popeye]])
**''Don't Have A Cow'' ([[Bart Simpson]])
***''Eat My Shorts'' is a horse running in another race (and another of Bart's catchphrases).
*There is a large drum of nuclear waste seen in [[Homer]]'s basement in this episode.
*Bart's forgotten permission slip can be seen (just barely) under his pillowcase before he wakes up at the beginning of the episode.
*While imprisoned, Bart's cellmate is a seriously pumped-up [[Sideshow Bob]].
*During the last scene, the Simpsons watch a movie based on this episode. When the narrator lists the actors, the actor playing Fat Tony is [[Joe Mantegna]], who provides the voice of Fat Tony on ''The Simpsons''.
*The producers attempted to have "Be My Baby" by the Ronettes play midway through the episode. Due to being unable to secure permission, they used "One Fine Day" instead.
*First appearances of [[Fat Tony]], [[Legs]] and [[Louie]].
*On the news, Fat Tony's real name is revealed as "William "[[Fat Tony]]" Williams" but would later change to "Anthony "Fat Tony" D'Amico" in "[[The Homer They Fall]]" whether or not this was a decision made by the shows writers or if the two names were separate aliases is unknown.
