Trivia

  • The title is a parody of the title "King-Size Canary", which was an MGM cartoon directed by legendary animator Tex Avery. In the cartoon, a growth formula causes several animals to swell to gargantuan proportions.
  • The drinking bird Homer has to "cover for him" was a gift from Herb in "Brother, Can you Spare Two Dimes?". After giving Herb $2,000, Homer settled for it instead of respect from his brother.
  • An original plan for the episode that was scrapped was Homer becoming weight-obsessed in the opposite direction and becoming dangerously thin.
  • The song "Push out the jive, bring in the love" by the Lostprophets most likely takes it's name from the phrase used by Mr. Burns during exercise.
  • When Homer hits "TAB" thinking he'd get a drink looking for the Any key (which is a joke on the computer prompt "Press any key to continue") a startup sound from a Macintosh computer produced in 1995 is heard. This episode aired the same year.
