Trivia
- Fat Tony's prisoner number was 8F03, the production code for this episode.
- All the horses in the third race at Shelbyville Downs are named for famous cartoon phrases:
- Sufferin' Succotash (Sylvester the Cat)
- Yabba-Dabba-Doo (Fred Flintstone)
- Ooh Ain't I A Stinker (Bugs Bunny)
- I Yam What I Yam (Popeye)
- Don't Have A Cow (Bart Simpson)
- Eat My Shorts is a horse running in another race (and another of Bart's catchphrases).
- There is a large drum of nuclear waste seen in Homer's basement in this episode.
- Bart's forgotten permission slip can be seen (just barely) under his pillowcase before he wakes up at the beginning of the episode.
- While imprisoned, Bart's cellmate is a seriously pumped-up Sideshow Bob. Sideshow Bob does not speak in this episode, presumably because he may be contemplating how Bart, who got him arrested in Krusty Gets Busted, is now an accused lawbreaker himself.
- During the last scene the Simpsons were watching a movie based on this episode. When the narrator was listing the actors, the actor of Fat Tony was Joe Magenita, who was ironically the voice of Fat Tony.
- The producers attempted to have "Be My Baby" by the Ronettes play midway through the episode. Due to being unable to secure permission, they used "One Fine Day" instead.
- First appearances of Fat Tony, Legs and Louie.
- On the news, Fat Tony's real name is revealed as "William "Fat Tony" Williams" but would later change to "Anthony "Fat Tony" D'Amico" in "The Homer They Fall" whether or not this was a decision made by the shows writers or if the two names were separate aliases is unknown.
Cultural references
- This episode takes a lot of plot points from the film Goodfellas. As in the film, a boy mixes drinks for the mob gang, and there is also a cigarette hijacking. Bart's work for Fat Tony mirrors the rise of young Henry Hill.
