Cultural references
- The episode's story is loosely based on those of the McCaughey septuplets and Dionne quintuplets. The title is a parody of the famous song "Ain't Misbehavin'".
- SHØP is a parody of real-life American-based furniture chain STØR, which itself is largely a rip off of IKEA.

Trivia
- Marcia Wallace is credited although she didn't voice a character in the episode.
- The store SHØP is, strangely enough, spelled with a Danish "ø" where "ö" would be the correct one.

Goofs
- In one scene, Chief Wiggum's left hand (our view) is a different shade of yellow than the rest of his body.
