Cultural references
- The title of the episode is a reference to the Banksy film Exit Through the Gift Shop.
- The title screen gag is a reference to the English folktale Jack and the Beanstalk, with Bart cast in the role of Jack. Bart is shown carrying a harp and a goose down a beanstalk; in the folktale, a magical harp and a goose that lays golden eggs are among the items that Jack steals from the giant.
- The couch gag of this episode is a parody of the opening sequence of Game of Thrones.
- The Dumbbell's Soup painting is a reference to Andy Warhol's Campbell's Soup Cans.
- Swapper Jack's is a parody of Trader Joe's.
- Shepard Fairey mentioned being the one who created the Barack Obama "Hope" poster and the Andre the Giant Has a Posse OBEY image.
Trivia
- Homer sings along to the theme song replacing the music with "doo"s.
- Marge's birthday is revealed to be on the 19th March.
Continuity
- 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".
Goofs
- The phone wire isn't shown until Homer checks it.
- 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.
