Trivia

  • Zii Dance Dance Revolution is a parody of Wii Dance Dance Revolution.
  • As the Simpsons are entering the arboretum, one of the sculpted bushes they pass is "Binky", a character from Matt Groening's comic "Life in Hell." The other pair of bushes are Kang and Kodos, The Simpsons' resident space aliens.
  • Gil is seen with white hair
  • When Marge found Maggie missing, she was bringing her a glass bottle (it shatters when she drops it).
  • Fat Tony says he wants to take out the Castellaneta family; Dan Castellaneta is the voice of not only Homer, but several other people on the show.
  • Lionel Hutz is visible in the large panning crowd shot at the Botanical Gardens.
  • The shirt Moe is wearing at Maggie's birthday party is the one Marge gave him
  • This episode was written by J. Stewart Burns who won an Emmy for the Futurama episode "Roswell That Ends Well".
  • This episode has a similar name to another Simpsons episode, Moe Letter Blues. This is another episode to have Moe as a large part. ("Eeny Teeny Maya, Moe")

Cultural references

  • Homer is freaked out by a Costington's ad in the newspaper that shows a pair of pants standing up by themselves, referencing the Dr. Suess short story "What Was I Scared Of?" which appeared in The Sneetches and Other Stories. In the story, the main character is frightened by a pair of pale green pants that stand up and walk around by themselves.
  • The Beverly Hillbillies: Parodied in The Beverly Hillbillies Down Under (the movie playing in Dr. Hibbert's minivan).
  • Alka-Seltzer: Referenced when Grampa (due to his rest home's changing his medication) runs amok in the streets, puts a bedpan on his head, and says, "Look at me! I'm Speedy Alka-Seltzer!" Speedy, one of the antacid's most popular ad characters, wears an Alka-Seltzer tablet as a hat, which means that Grampa really does resemble Speedy after he puts the bedpan on his head.
  • During the montage sequence where Moe spends time with Maggie (and Homer with a ham), the song playing is "You're My Best Friend" by Queen.
