Contents
Cultural references
- The episode title is a reference to Samson and Delilah.
- Dimoxinil is a pun on the real-life hair restoration drug Minoxidil.
- Homer's joy run through the streets of Springfield (when he sees he has hair) is a parody of the scene near the end of It's a Wonderful Life where George Bailey runs through the streets of Bedford Falls, saying "hello" to everything and everyone he sees.
- Homer's entrance to the executive washroom parodies a scene in Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?
- Joe Cocker's "You Are So Beautiful" is heard twice during this episode.
Trivia
- Homer's assistant Karl was played by openly gay actor Harvey Fierstein, and it is at least implied that Karl is also gay or bisexual. This marks the beginning of a trend of several LGBT characters on The Simpsons.
- The kiss between Karl and Homer is the first animated male-on-male kiss to air on network television.
- Homer's hairstyles change several times throughout the episode. He starts off with long hair, then to a 1970s style small afro, then to a more close cropped 1950s type haircut, and finally a 1980s "Miami Vice" style angular cut with a small ponytail.
- During Homer's speech (after he has lost his hair) about cutting costs in the plant, one executive remarks, "The nerve of a bald man to think he can run the power plant," which is ironic considering that Mr. Burns, who is bald, is in charge of the plant.
Goofs
- Milhouse and Lewis seem to have their voices swapped.
- When Lenny says "Exactly. Why should you get nothing while a guy who loses a finger hits the jackpot." he has Dr. Marvin Monroe's voice.
Continuity
- Bart uses some of Homer's Dimoxinil to grow a beard in Bart's Beard.
