- Bart references the 1964 film Mothra vs. Godzilla, although he says it as "Godzilla vs. Mothra" (which was the title of a different later film).
- The part where Homer says "That larva's one bad moth-" with Marge replying "Shut your mouth!" could possibly be a reference to the cult movie "Shaft".
Trivia
- The story originally appeared in "The Simpsons Futurama Crossover Crisis" where the Planet Express crew were transported into the comic by the evil Brain Spawn. The plot was changed as a result.
