Cultural references
- The entire episode is a spoof of secret societies such as the Masons and Skull and Bones.
- After being hurt by Lenny Mr. Burns asks him: "Thanks sir, can I have another one?", whereupon he is kicked. This is a reference to a similar scene with the older students and the new ones in the film "Animal House".
- When Homer has to gives his ceremonial costume back it is burned inside an Ark that looks a lot like the Ark of the Covenant from the Indiana Jones film "Raiders Of The Lost Ark". When the clothes are burning there are even ghosts flying from it, just like in the film.
- Homer's coronation scene, including his costume and the background music, are a direct reference to "The Last Emperor".
- Jack Nicholson, George H.W. Bush, Steve Guttenberg and Mr. T are part of the Stonecutters.
Trivia
- Stonecutter numbers: Lenny is number 12, Carl is number 14, and Mr. Burns is number 29, which means that Lenny and Carl outrank him in the Stonecutter pecking order. Homer is given number 908.
