  • The song featured during Bart's jealousy segment is "New Kid in Town" by the Eagles.
  • The second segment is a parody of The Most Dangerous Game, a 1923 short story by Richard Edward Connell.
  • The title "I've Grown a Costume to your Face" is a reference to the song "I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face" from My Fair Lady. It is also an allusion to a song that Bart and Sideshow Bob sing in Bart's room in the episode "The Great Louse Detective", Season 14.
  • In the beginning segment, Kang and Kodos wonder if by speeding up time, maybe the Chicago Cubs can actually win the World Series. As of 2005, it has been 97 years since that club's last World Series title, and 60 years since their last Series appearance.
  • "B.I.: Bartificial Intelligence" spoofs the music video for the Herbie Hancock song, "Rockit." In the scene where Bart meets the group of robots in the woods, that song is played accompanied by a walking pair of robot legs that were featured in the video.
  • After all of Springfield's citizens are turned into real-life versions of their costumes, Mayor Quimby as Mayor McCheese says while being licked at by dogs quotes "I am not a happy meal right now" which is a reference to the McDonald's happy meals.
  • At the end of "I've Grown a Costume to your Face", Maggie the witch flies up to the moon to the theme music of Bewitched, the animation is also very similar to the Bewitched title animation.
