Cultural references[edit]

Continuity[edit]

  • 22 in "Marge's Top 40" is "Paper towel ads featuring lumberjacks," a reference to her crush on the Burly Paper Towels lumberjack, "Chad Sexington," which itself parodies Brawny Paper Towels.
    • One of the things in the section "What's on Marge's Mind?" are "Chad Sexington fantasies."
  • Another thing on her mind is Mr. Plow.

  • One of the shows on Marge's TV listings stars Senor Ding-Dong, a reference to the episode "Maximum Homerdrive".
  • Two whole pages are devoted to an "advertisement" for the Canyonero. Many of the features the vehicle had in "Marge Simpson in: "Screaming Yellow Honkers"", are mentioned, such as the fact that the vehicle explodes on impact and the "super high beam" halogen headlamps.
