Cultural references
- The title of the episode is a reference to the American crime drama television series True Detective.
- The song that plays during the hive's journey through the years in the closing credits is "Far From Any Road" by The Handsome Family, which also serves as the True Detective opening theme.
- The movie shown at the beginning by Skinner is 1967's Doctor Dolittle.
- Bart's shirt "Gooba Gooba Who?" is a reference to The Ramones song "Pinhead". The end of the song chants the band's well known slogan, "Gabba Gabba Hey!" (This song was inspired by the 1932 cult classic Freaks. The main characters in the movie chant, "Gooble gobble, we accept her, one of us!").
- Master Prison Chef is a reference to the show MasterChef.
- Lisa mentions watching lots of Sherlock.
- Clash of Castles is a parody of Clash of Clans.
Continuity
- Homer previously attempted to build a spice rack ("Itchy & Scratchy & Marge") and Marge bought one afterwards ("El Viaje Misterioso de Nuestro Jomer").
- Bender is seen in the basement. ("Simpsorama")
- Homer's muumuu is seen in the attic. ("King-Size Homer")
- The pit master appears in the clouds after his death just like Bleeding Gums Murphy did. ("'Round Springfield")

Goofs
- When Alton Brown tastes what Marge has cooked on the show, the color of his shirt changes.
- On the sign for the Scrap city, the word "Sponsor" suddenly changes to "Sponser".
- When Nelson spins the Merry-go-round, Lisa was not holding onto it, but she somehow stays on top of it. Normally, a person would've been thrown away from the ride due to momentum.
- Normally, Nelson is shown as a poor kid, but in this episode, he has enough money to afford a tablet.
- It's never stated that Nelson bought it, he's been known to shoplift in the past. ("Marge Be Not Proud")
Trivia
- Bart and Lisa seemed surprised with CRT TVs on the Scrap city, as if it were the first time they saw one. However, in the early years of the show, they owned a CRT TV, as LED and LCD TVs hadn't been invented yet.
