Cultural references
- The episode title is a pun on the original series Star Trek episode "The Trouble With Tribbles".
- The scene where Homer is pressed into FBI service was taken directly from the 1991 movie JFK.
- Similarly, Agent Johnson, one of the FBI Agents who placed Homer on the job, was apparently named after one of the FBI Agents from Die Hard.
- When questioned by Kent Brockman in regards to why he procrastinated in regards to the Tax deadline, Otto remarks that he thought that the tax-line was actually the line for a Metallica concert.
- Mr. Burns claims that he owns the suit that Charlie Chaplin was buried in, a reference to the fact that Charlie Chaplin's body was stolen from a cemetery in Switzerland.
- When Fidel Castro remarks that Americans aren't all that bad as they named a street after him, he reacts in shock and horror when he learns just who dwells on that street—a reference to Castro Street in San Francisco, a street that is a gay community (although its true namesake was José Castro, who was a governor of the Alta California territory while it was still part of Mexico).
- One of the signs in Cuba was based on a Che Guevara poster, altered to say "Duff O Muerto!"
Goofs
