  • The Channel 6 News name for the explosion of Homer's bag, "Chattanuclear-Choo-Choo" is a reference to the Glenn Miller song Chattanooga Choo Choo.
  • The company that installs the city-wide camera system is called "Orwell Security", a reference to George Orwell and his novel 1984, about a dictatorial government that maintained control over the population by keeping everyone under surveillance.

    • Mary Poppins (from the film of the same title) is seen using her umbrella to gently descend to the ground, accompanied by music from the film.
