Cultural references

• The episode title is a pun on the movie Three Men and a Baby.
• When Bart's adult voice reflects on his getting a part-time job:
  • The scene is a reference to The Wonder Years and the show's motif of main character Kevin Arnold's adult self narrating the story of his growing-up years.
  • The voice is provided by Daniel Stern, who was the narrator for The Wonder Years.
  • The song playing is "Turn! Turn! Turn!" (also called "To Everything There is a Season") by The Byrds.

Trivia

• First discovery of Radioactive Man's freak accident.
• Otto's idea for a comic book (Busman, a man who drives a bus by day and fights vampires by night) was made into a comic in the Simpsons Comics.
• Hint to Springfield being located in either Michigan or California: When Bart recycles an empty cola bottle at the Kwik-E-Mart, he says "I need the dime". Michigan and California are the only states that have a 10 cent bottle deposit.
• Comic Book Guy's voice is different.
• Before they took up smoking, Patty and Selma's voices were feminine before they had deep, gruff, raspy voices.
