Cultural references
- The episode is a commentary on "jumping the shark" — doing outlandish things to a show, like adding a new character, in order to boost ratings and save the show from cancellation.
- June Bellamy, voiced by Simpsons regular Tress MacNeille, is a reference to veteran voice actress June Foray.
- The scene where Homer hides in a closet and hears that Poochie will be killed-off is a reference to Jay Leno supposedly hiding in a closet and hearing that he would replace Johnny Carson on The Tonight Show.
- Roy is largely based on Fonzie from Happy Days, calling Homer and Marge Mr. and Mrs. S, similar to how Fonzie refers to Mr. and Mrs. Cunningham.
- Roy's announcement that he will move in with "two sexy ladies" is a reference to the sitcom Three's Company.
- The affidavit that Krusty shows the audience (declaring that Poochie will never return) resembles a Torah scroll.
Trivia
- Many of the Itchy and Scratchy staff members are caricatures of the actual Simpsons staff.
- The episode features the first appearance of Comic Book Guy's catchphrase "Worst. Episode. Ever".
- June, the voice of Itchy and Scratchy, claims she did the voice of the Road Runner. Instead of doing "Meep-meep", she did one "meep" and the studio then doubled it, so that they wouldn't have to pay her for the second "meep".
Itchy & Scratchy cartoons
Several Itchy & Scratchy cartoons are shown during the episode:
- "Why Do Fools Fall in Lava?" -- A poorly rated cartoon which prompted the I&S executives to revamp the show.
- An untitled cartoon shown to a kids' focus group.
- "The Beagle Has Landed" -- Introduction of Poochie.
- An untitled cartoon in which Poochie was killed off (he died "on the way back to his home planet").
- An untitled cartoon which was the first one made after Poochie's demise.
