Cultural references
- The episode title is a pun on the film The Parent Trap.
- As the out-of-control police cruiser heads toward the hot soup truck, the police dog in the back covers his eyes and says, "Ruh-oh!" in a similar manner to Scooby-Doo.
- Lisa mentions that, as a result of creative sentencing, Bill Clinton is their mailman.
- "Dang Me" by Roger Miller is the song playing on the car radio at the end of the episode.
- In addition to the $40 prize for the winning the radio contest, Homer receives a Blue Oyster Cult medallion.
- "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" by B.O.C. is also played over the closing credits.
- Judge Constance Harm says that she would read Hemingway if she wanted a cock and bull story. This is a reference to Hemingway's novella, The Sun Also Rises, which involves an impotent war veteran and a matador.
Trivia
- Professor Frink nearly runs over Bart and Milhouse with his Hover bike. The bike was first seen in Lemon of Troy.
- The Miranda Rights teleprompter in the police cruiser instructs officers to say, "You have the right to remain silent," then to "(Punch in belly)."
- Outside the Juvenile Courthouse is a statue of Blind Justice, depicting a little girl wearing a blindfold while holding a scale in one hand and a sword in the other.
- Jimbo Jones can be seen outside the courtroom with a lawyer and his mother, waiting to go before Judge Snyder.
- Homer's burglar outfit is similar to the one he wears while stealing Moe's car in Dumbbell Indemnity and when smuggling sugar in Sweets and Sour Marge.
- Judge Constance Harm indicates she was born male when she tells Bart he reminds her of herself when she was a little boy.
- In this episode, Judge Snyder's first name is revealed to be Roy.
Goofs
- Bart and Homer are able to change their clothes despite them being tethered together.
- It appears that most of Springfield forgot about Homer and Marge being viewed as bad parents before. Then again, Springfieldians aren't that smart.
- When Homer goes to sleep in Mrs. Krabappel's class, his tongue's palette color changes from pink to white.
- The constitution forbids cruel or unusual punishment, both tethering Bart and Homer together and putting Marge and Homer in stocks would classed as this.
- Judge Harm presides over Homer and Marge's trial over destroying Judge Harm's houseboat despite she's the plaintiff. This violating Homer and Marge's constitutional right to a fair trial as Judge Harm cannot be considered to deliver a fair verdict due to the nature of the circumstances and would require a different judge to preside.
Continuity
- While Homer and Bart are tethered together, Homer embarrasses Bart in class when he falls asleep and screams "Cobras!" under the influence of his night terrors. Homer also embarrasses Bart in class when Springfield Elementary hosts "Bring Your Parents to School Day", in the comic story of the same title.
