Cultural references
- The episode title is either a reference to the 1922 detective story novel The Man Who Knew Too Much, written by G. K. Chesterton, or to the unrelated suspense films both titled The Man Who Knew Too Much, one released in 1934 and the other in 1956, both of the films were directed by Alfred Hitchcock.
Trivia
- This is the last appearance of Edna Krabappel. The character is retired since her voice actress, Marcia Wallace, passed away in October 2013.
- Next to the picture of Edna in the final scene of this episode is a picture of Ned's first late wife Maude.
Continuity
- Sideshow Bob and Lisa Simpson singing a parody of "Let's Call the Whole Thing Off", which was sung by Homer and Marge Simpson on Season 21 episode, "Million Dollar Maybe".
- There are a number of callbacks to previous episodes. Bob's face falls off at one point, a reference to his scheme from "The Bob Next Door". He attempts to kill Bart and Lisa by dropping them off the top of a hydroelectric dam ("Brother from Another Series"). Finally, he gets clocked in the face by a rake he steps on, a gag first seen in "Cape Feare".
