Cultural references

• The Sea Captain goes to Marge to talk about his Game Boy which he had apparently lost at sea.
• The Mr. Sparkle commercial features a cameo appearance by Thunderbird 2, from Gerry Anderson's children's series Thunderbirds, which first aired on ITV1 in 1965. This version of Thunderbird 2, which is seen in the child's room, is silver, as opposed to the 'real' Thunderbird 2, which was green. It refers to the fact that Thunderbirds has a cult following in Japan, like it does in England and in some parts of the world.

Trivia

• In the library, Homer presses the buttons on the phone 19 times to get through to Japan.
• One of the saints who appears to Reverend Lovejoy is named St. Bartholomew.
• In a deleted scene Jasper Beardley was the last minister before Lovejoy.

Continuity

• Marge tells the Sea Captain that he needs to accept that his Game Boy is gone. In the Treehouse of Horror comic story Gnaws, in exchange for killing a giant Blinky, one of the items the Sea Captain demands is a replacement Game Boy for "the one the sea claimed."
