Cultural references

• The episode title is a pun on the television talk show Politically Incorrect, which was hosted by Bill Maher and aired from 1993 to 2002. Even though the show's title was simply Politically Incorrect, it was commonly referred to as "Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher".
• The chalkboard gag is a reference to The Adventures of Tintin, which was released (in the United States) only a month before the episode aired.
• The ending of Bart's "Fatso goes nutso" is a reference to a popular YouTube video in which a bear climbed up a tree and fell on to a trampoline, before landing on the grass.
• This is the show's second reference to shock site Lemonparty.org (the first was in Flaming Moe).
• A mask of Homer made after Homer becomes famous (again) is actually a Shrek mask painted yellow.

Goofs

• Bart says he's uploading the video to YouTube, yet Milhouse is seen watching it on MyTube.
