Trivia[edit]

- Marge's birthday is revealed to be on the 19th March. However in "Marge Gamer", Marge reveals that her birthday is October 1st.
- Clips from this episode were featured in a UK Sky1 Sundays promo for Summer 2012. This episode, however, did not premiere in summer 2012 in the UK, it aired on September 2.
Continuity[edit]
- Cecil Hampstead and Kyoto appear. ("Mom and Pop Art")
- A red can of paint thinner is seen again (though not identical), last seen in "Homer Scissorhands".
- Bart creates a graffiti image of Skinner saying "I am a wiener", just like he did in "Bart the Genius". This time, however, the word "wiener" is spelt with an "ie", not an "ei".
- Bart's graffiti artwork is also central to the plot in the comic story Picture Perfect.
Goofs[edit]
- The phone wire isn't shown until Homer checks it.
- A phone in kitchen is showing plenty times when Homer tried to use the broken phone.
- The first part of the episode is set on March 18, as shown by the calendar held up by Lisa at the beginning of the episode. However, a flyer for I, Carumba: The Nightmare World of El Barto states that the dates of the art gallery show are March 11 - August 15, a week before the start of the episode. Bearing in mind, Bart decided to become a graffiti artist after Marge's birthday on the 19th and approximately two days passed between Bart becoming a graffiti artist and Shepard Fairey persuading Bart to open the art gallery.
- During the scene in the dining room where the family gives Marge her presents, the clock skips around ten minutes (around 3:55 to 4:05) from when Homer first approaches the phone and when the camera pans out when Homer first starts saying "One...".
