Trivia
- When Chief Wiggum shines the flashlight to see who is harassing Ralph, Bart's pupils become cat-like.
- This episode is notable for featuring the Seven Deadly Sins:
- Lust: Homer and Marge remember making out to "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida".
- Gluttony: Celebrated in the TV commercial for Uncle Moe's. When Moe is converting his bar into a restaurant, he acquires a gigantic deep-fat fryer, claiming it can deep-fry a buffalo in forty seconds, to which Homer grouses "Oh, I want it now"! Later, Homer gets Bart's meal at Moe's Tavern.
- Greed: A flash at Reverend Lovejoy counting money. Also, Milhouse avariciously celebrates owning Bart's soul, saying, "Who's stupid now?"
- Sloth: Bart and Milhouse slacking off cleaning the organ. Later, Milhouse's dad is very serious about wanting his sleep, although this is probably justified considering Bart traipsed by uninvited in the middle of the night.
- Wrath: The minister gets angry at being fooled. Later, Moe loses his restaurant in a fit of anger.
- Envy: Moe envies the profits of family restaurants. Lisa wishes she had five dollars. Bart envies the kids in his dream for their souls.
- Pride: Bart is proud at fooling Milhouse out of five dollars, and is later humiliated at having his soul sold for pogs. Snake is seen with a trophy girlfriend (also a combination of Pride & Lust).
