Trivia[edit]

  • This episode was banned in Germany due to the amount of violence and tension in this episode, and also due to the beginning featuring a character holding the ranking of Obergrupperfuehrer and wearing a complete SS officer's uniform. (Germany has laws prohibiting the use of Nazi references and symbols; for example, displaying the swastika is an offense punishable by up to one year of imprisonment.)
  • Sideshow Bob's prison number for this episode is A113. A113 is a little-known easter egg that Brad Bird puts into the movies and cartoons he makes, such as this episode, all Pixar films, two other Simpsons episodes ("Krusty Gets Busted" and "Sideshow Bob's Last Gleaming"), and other productions.
  • Irony: Towns with scary-sounding names (Cape Fear, New Horrorfield, Screamville and Terror Lake) being suggested as relocation options for the Simpsons so they can stop living in fear of Sideshow Bob.
  • This episode was the last episode produced by the show's original production team.
