Cultural references

  • The title is a reference to the Disney film Bedknobs and Broomsticks, which was previously punned in another episode title, "MyPods and Boomsticks".
  • The scene in the couch gag where Marge serves the Thanksgiving turkey is a visual pun on the Norman Rockwell painting Freedom from Want.
