Trivia
- This episode contains a hint that Patty is a lesbian, as she is seen exiting the house during the slide show.
- In her effort to re-convince the town (again) that the burlesque house is bad, Marge begins singing an off-key parody of "My Favorite Things" - although the bulldozer cuts her off before she can sing the title phrase.
- One of the dancers looks like Cookie Kwan, who later would became a recurring character.
Cultural references
- Belle may possibly be named after Belle Watling, the owner of the burlesque house in Gone with the Wind.
- When Homer stops the destruction of the burlesque house, Reverend Lovejoy says "This house is a very, very, very fine house", a reference to the Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young song "Our House".
- The oil spill depicted in this episode is most likely a reference to the Exxon Valdez oil spill.
- Mayor Quimby and the Quimby family, throughout Simpsons history, have been made to resemble JFK and the Kennedy family. In this particular episode, Mayor Quimby's wife is seen wearing a dress similar to one of Jackie Kennedy's dresses.
- A V-chip kicks in while Bart and Lisa are watching Itchy and Scratchy, prompting them to yell "Dad, V-chip, V-chip" at Homer, who then unblocks the show.
- In French, "derrière" could mean both "behind" (something that is not in front of you) and "butt". In this episode's case, it is most likely the latter ("Maison Derrière" thus meaning "Butt House").
- Milhouse's description of what the Mansion was (it belonging to an evil scientist that is trying to create a race of Super Zombies) resembles the Spencer Estate (and similar buildings) in the video game series "Resident Evil". The "Evil Scientist" remark was referencing either Ozwell E. Spencer or Albert Wesker.
- The musical number instigated my Homer (accompanied by Belle and her backup dancers) convinging the town not to destroy the house is a parody of The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.
