Cultural references
- The title is a play on the phrase "Revenge is a dish best served cold", which was popularized by Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan[1], although the saying predates that film.
- Homer requests his favorite story, The Count of Monte Cristo, unaware that Marge already told it. Interestingly, a Monte Cristo is also a type of sandwich, which may explain why Homer likes it so.
- Bartman faces the Toker (a play on The Joker, portrayed by stoner Otto Mann), the Diddler (a play on the Riddler, actually Ned Flanders), Mr. Mole (Imitating Mr. Freeze who is Hans Moleman), Sugar and Spice (Patty and Selma imitating two of Two-Face's minions), and Poison Lenny (Poison Ivy) who explains he's not a villain but a transvestite.
Notes
- A level in The Simpsons Game is named Bartman Begins.
- The Bartman in this episode is different than the one in Three Men and a Comic Book. In that episode Bartman was simply Bart wearing a purple mask around the top of his head. This Bartman is Bart in a complete Batman outfit.
