Cultural references
- The title is a reference to the 1990 Spike Lee film Mo' Better Blues. This is also spoofed in "Moe Baby Blues".
- This title could also be a reference of the Sam and Max 202 Moai Better Blues.
- The plot of the episode is a parody of the film A Letter to Three Wives.
- When the head of Jebediah Springfield's statue lands on Ralph during the opening sequence, Ralph says "Hello, darkness," a possible reference to the Simon & Garfunkel song "The Sound of Silence" (the first line of the song is "Hello, darkness, my old friend").
- Otto (who is possibly high) sees every vehicle on the road as a character from the Pixar film Cars.
- The game Dance Dance Evolution that Manjula and Moe play at Moe's Tavern is very similar to the Dance Dance Revolution game serious, with the game playing the song "Just Dance" by Lady Gaga and Akon. The game is also a product of "Zii", a parody of Wii.
- The name Patty and Selma gives to Homer, "Chunky with the Pants of Meatballs", is a reference to the book and movie "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs".
