Cultural references

• The title is a reference to the 1987 film Adventures in Babysitting.
• Comic Book Guy mentions that the sinkhole is larger than the Sarlacc Pit which swallowed Boba Fett but is smaller than the Geonosis Battle Arena where Jango Fett was beheaded by Mace Windu, all references to Star Wars.
• The news caption for the sink hole, "Sync-O De Mayo", is a pun on cinco de mayo.
• Tissan is a parody of Nissan.
• The shop Crouching Panda Hidden Egg Roll is a pun on the film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
• When Father Mike appears, Bing Crosby's "Too-Ra-Loo-Ra-Loo-Ral" plays.
• Marge looks up Stan on his Facebook page to see that he had no kids.

Trivia

• The number plate on Marge's new car is PABF18, the production code for this episode.
• When the scene shifts underground, the Tracey Ullman shorts Simpsons can be seen dead.

Continuity

• Moe mentions the Springfield Monorail going out of control. ("Marge vs. the Monorail")
• When imagining what Lisa is up to, Bart imagines Angelica Button fighting Lord Evilton. ("The Haw-Hawed Couple")
• Bart brings in Lisa's former boyfriends to help find out what Lisa is up to. He brings in Ralph ("I Love Lisa"), Nelson ("Lisa's Date With Density") and Milhouse.

Goofs

• The sound of the water dripping into the cavern filled with water at about 02:24 into the episode sounds BEFORE the drop of water actually falls into the pool of water.
• Rocks cover the holes at the bottom of the cavern when the water goes further into the ground, but when Marge's car falls in, the rocks have disappeared - the floor is flat.
• The sink hole in the town square is the only one that is filled in. The others aren't.
• The scene inwhich the vehicle covered up the sink hole has an animation goof. When it marks on the road markings, the marking infront of it has already been done and it isn't marking the road markings where it should be marking them. The animation corrects itself when the road markings are nearly done.
