Cultural references
- The episode title is a pun on the third-season episode "Flaming Moe's" and a reference to "flamer" being a somewhat derogatory slang term for gay men.
- Moe's run for office is an homage to the plot of the film Milk.
- I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry:
- The movie's plot revolves around Chuck and Larry posing as a gay couple for financial reasons, similar to Moe's adopting a gay image to enhance his business.
- Like Smithers demanding that Moe kiss him in public to prove that he's gay, Chuck and Larry are asked to kiss in public (at a city council hearing) to prove that their relationship is real. Chuck's and Larry's kiss is stopped short, however, when their boss arrives, "outs" them as being straight and exposes their scheme.
- Mr. Burns signs his will as Charles Montgomery Plantagenet Schicklgruber Burns, which implies that he is related to Adolf Hitler and a descendant of the House of Plantagenet.
- Moe's line "Everybody vogue!" is a reference to the Madonna song "Vogue" as it plays in the background.
- Neil Patrick Hairless is a pun on the actor Neil Patrick Harris' name.
- After his half hour of mental competence elapses, Mr. Burns imagines himself as part of the 1914 prototypical cartoon "Gertie the Dinosaur".
- The song heard when Skinner imagines himself frolicking with Ms. Juniper and repeated during the closing credits is "Jennifer Juniper."
- At school, Bart is playing with a Buzz Lightyear toy.
- The scene where the day and late shifts of the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant fight plays the song "Sing, Sing, Sing".
- The picture of "Tom of Shelbyville" which Moe hung up is a reference to the gay comic art of Tom of Finland.
- Skinner walks at the school singing "I'm Walking on Sunshine".
Trivia
- The title is similar to the third season episode "Flaming Moe's".
- The late shift workers that Homer, Lenny, and Carl fight with partially resemble each them with only a few differences (ex. the Carl clone wearing glasses, the Homer clone having hair on the back of his head, and the Lenny clone having a different hair color and style).
Continuity
- Moe shows pictures of his bar after previous makeovers:
- The Nag and Weasel ("Mommie Beerest")
- M ("Homer the Moe")
- Uncle Moe's Family Feedbag ("Bart Sells His Soul")
