Cultural references
- The episode's title is a pun on the 1974 film Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore.
- When Homer, Lenny and Carl ride on top the rolling containers of radioactive material, they sing a revised version of TV series Rawhide's theme song.
- Mr. Burns refers to Lenny, Homer, and Carl as "Snap, Crackle, and Pop".
- The idea of Homer panhandling for extra cash is similar to the Sherlock Holmes short story The Man with the Twisted Lip.
- While Homer dances in front of Moe's Tavern, the rhythm Homer is humming is "The Streets of Cairo" by Sol Bloom. Later, he sings a butchered version of the song "Mr. Bojangles".
- Among the statues of nosy neighbors in the TV Museum are:
- Mrs. Kravitz from Bewitched.
- Mr. Roper from "Three's Company" and the short-lived spin-off The Ropers.
- Ned Flanders.
- The car KITT from the TV series Knight Rider is featured in the TV Museum in an exhibit tilted "Things that shouldn't talk... but do". This is one of the two appearances of the car in a Simpsons episode, the other being in the episode "The Wizard of Evergreen Terrace."
- In the Itchy and Scratchy cartoon, the name of the restaurant, Micky Mao's, is a reference to Mickey Mouse.
- The scene on the TV at the end of the episode is The Beverly Hillbillies.
- Isabel Sanford says "George Jefferson, come home, we miss you", referencing The Jeffersons. The theme then plays over the end credits.
Continuity
- The side plot of the episode is similar to the Simpsons Comics story Asphalt Bungle, which was released three years before the episode aired. However, in the comic story, Homer is unsuccessful at begging.
