Cultural references
- The episode title is a pun on the song "You Can't Always Get What You Want" by The Rolling Stones.
- The drawing game that Marge and Maggie play with Patty and Selma resembles Pictionary.
- The scene where Kent Brockman says to stand up to FOX while smoking is in reference to Edward R. Murrow and the film Good Night, and Good Luck.
- The title of the video shown in the dentist's office, "Menace Tooth Society" (which was implied to have been shown without Ludacris' permission), is a spoof of "Menace II Society". Lisa's comment that the cartoon sends mixed messages parallels critiques of the spoofed movie.
- This is the first episode that focuses on Kent Brockman.
- When ordering his ice cream cone, Homer mentions several toppings, all of which are real candies with their names slightly but noticeably changed, such as Herschel's Smooches and Mrs. Badbar. However, the names of real candies have been mentioned several times in the show before.
