Cultural references

This episode is named after the 1967 James Bond film You Only Live Twice.
Dan Castellaneta provided the voice of James Bont, the parody of James Bond who Homer stops from escaping. Bont is strapped to a laser just as Bond is in Goldfinger.
The song played over the credits, Scorpio (sung by Sally Stevens), is similar to the Goldfinger theme.
Mrs. Goodthighs from the 1967 James Bond parody Casino Royale makes an appearance in the episode and can be seen attacking a character modeled after U.S. Army general Norman Schwarzkopf.

Trivia

Homer is disappointed with the Denver Broncos, even though he wished to be John Elway in "Cape Feare".
The Denver Broncos were not a good team at the time (hence Homer's disappointment in owning them), but would ironically win two consecutive Super Bowl championships after the airing of this episode.
Homer buys Tom Landry's hat in this episode. In later episodes such as "Bart Star" he is seen wearing it.
The web address for Cypress Creek Elementary is "http://www.studynet.edu".
The license plate on the Lil' Lugger Moving Van is 3F23, the same number as the episode's production code.
Homer is revealed to have worked at the plant longer than Lenny and Carl and is the second longest serving employee after Smithers.
In the scene where everyone says goodbye, the Anchor Shoppe and the Android's Dungeon are next to each other. The Anchor Shoppe has never been anywhere near the Android's Dungeon.
According to Internet polls, Hank Scorpio has been voted Albert Brooks' best character.
When Hank leaves Homer with the workers and goes, the camera pans out and the workers seem to have been lying down, as they immediately get up and resume working. This was done by the animators to prevent the tops of the worker's heads being seen in the previous closeup of Hank and Homer.
In the Cypress Creek video, the hobo holding an envelope turns into a mail-box. The hobo is modeled on James L. Brooks.
Some of the kids in Bart's 4th Grade class at Cypress Creek Elementary resemble kids from Springfield Elementary.
All the kids in Bart's remedial class talk and/or sound like Ralph Wiggum.
Lisa briefly befriends a Northern Reticulated Chipmunk, although such a species does not exist.
Even though Cypress Creek seems perfect, the vending machine at Globex won't take Homer's $1-bill.
Homer can be seen scratching his butt whilst Scorpio reveals his plans to the members of the UN.
The family's new address is 15201 Maple Systems Road.
Their new house bears a vague resemblance to the Simpsons' regular house.
Bumblebee Man seems to be working at Channel 6 rather than Channel Ocho.
In a close-up scene of the Lil' Lugger, if you pause at the right moment you can see that it just says "Lil' Lugge".
