{{TB|The scene where Mr. Burns is trying to be elected as governor in front of a large black and white poster of his own face references a similar scene in the movie where Kane is trying to be elected president. Later, when Burns' election campaign begins to plummit he shouts, "You can't do this to me. I'm Charles Montgomery Burns!" This is a parody of the line that Kane speaks when he fails in getting elected, "You can't do this to me. I'm Charles Foster Kane."}}
