Cultural references

• The episode title is a pun on the television talk show Politically Incorrect, which was hosted by Bill Maher and aired from 1993 to 2002. Even though the show's title was simply Politically Incorrect, it was commonly referred to as "Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher".
• The chalkboard gag is a reference to The Adventures of Tintin, which was released (in the United States) only a month before the episode aired.
• The ending of Bart's "Fatso goes nutso" is a reference to a popular YouTube video in which a bear climbed up a tree and fell on to a trampoline, before landing on the grass.
• This is the show's second reference to shock site Lemonparty.org (the first was in Flaming Moe).
• A mask of Homer made after Homer becomes famous (again) is actually a Shrek mask painted yellow.
• One of the faces to appear on Mount Rushmore was Doctor Doom of Marvel Comics.

Continuity

• MyTube is seen again. ("Elementary School Musical", "The Falcon and the D'ohman")
• Nash Castor returns with his talk show Head Butt. ("Bart-Mangled Banner")
• Adriatica Vel Johnson, a democrat who tried to get Ralph Wiggum to be a democrat, is seen again. ("E. Pluribus Wiggum")
• Homer notes that he is famous again. Homer has became famous many times. ("Homer's Barbershop Quartet", "The Homer of Seville" et al)

Goofs

• Bart says he's uploading the video to YouTube, yet Milhouse is seen watching it on MyTube. Someone may have reuploaded it to MyTube. Popular videos often get reuploaded on the Internet elsewhere.
