- At halfway through the episode, Archie, Jughead and Reggie from the Archie Comics throw Homer out of their car, while Moose says "Duh, stay out of Riverdale!". It's not known how he met them or what he did to offend them.
- Homer later refers to them again; he is seen reading an Archies comic and comments "Riverdale punks, think they're too good for me!"
- Bob Roberts is a 1992 film following the eponymous politician, suggesting that success comes from shady deals, hypocrisy and deceit.
- Sideshow Bob was released by the Republicans. This is ironic, as a previous episode had him exclaiming that he and his prisonmates would be released on the streets once the Democrats were back in power.
