Cultural References

  • The title is a pun on The Eagles' song "Template:Wikipedia". The initial title ("Bjorn To Be Wild") was meant to be a play on Steppenwolf's "Born to Be Wild".
  • The scene near the end parodies the film "Template:Wikipedia" and contains the same music.

Trivia

  • The original title of this episode was "Bjórn to Be Wild". This is because it called for Albert Brooks to voice Bjorn, a Swedish tennis instructor, but Matt Groening thought it would be better to make Brooks' character French.
  • The moon is seen to have three craters on it, much like a bowling ball when Jacques is dropping her off.
  • Jacques takes Marge to Shorty's Coffee Shop for Brunch.
  • If Marge is 34, this would mean she gave birth to Bart, now 10, when she was 24. This is inconsistent with most flashbacks to Homer and Marge's earlier lives.
  • Albert Brooks is credited under the name "A. Brooks" in this episode, as with all his other appearances on The Simpsons.
  • Marge's Shoe size is 13 AA.
  • Jacques appears again in The Simpsons' seventh season episode "Team Homer" and makes a brief cameo as a bowler in the past in "And Maggie Makes Three". He also appears in the "Do the Bartman" music video dancing with various women.
