Cultural References

• The episode's title is a pun on the English nursery rhyme Simple Simon.
• The Country singer at the Springfield County Fair bears a strong resemblance to Alan Jackson in both appearance and singing style.

Trivia

• All references to the Dalai Lama were edited out when it was broadcast in Asia. In some channels the Dalai Lama parts were replaced with Lisa, while other channels had the Dalai Lama parts just edited out, leaving the storyline "gaping" and "unfocused."
• Mr. Burns normally fails to recognize Homer when he sees him, but in this episode, he recognizes him right away when unmasking him.

Continuity

• When Homer is watching the bacon commercial at the beginning, and if you look closely, you can see Ralph Wiggum riding the conveyor belt with the pigs (which he thinks its "Bovine University" from "Lisa the Vegetarian").

Goofs

• When Homer examines his Pie Man costume in the mirror, the Pie/Lightning Bolt logo is not reflected.
• When The Rich Texan runs from the laughing crowd, Kent Brockman has Rainier Wolfcastle's colors.
