Cultural references[edit]
- The title is a pun on the rapper Puff Daddy.
- The advert campaign is a parody of the Fruity Pebbles advertising campaign which featured The Flintstones character Barney Rubble trying to steal Fred Flintstone's Fruity Pebbles.
- Barney's first disguise is of Steve Irwin.
- When Barney calls Homer "Fred" (referencing Fred Flintstone), Homer asks Barney how he'd like it if Homer started calling him "Otis", a reference to Otis Campbell from The Andy Griffith Show.
- One of Barney's disguises is of Mr. T's character from The A-Team, B. A. Baracus. Homer tells him that he's "not exactly A-Team material".
- Barney's final disguise is of Barney Rubble from The Flintstones, going full circle back to what the advertising campaign is based on. Barney tells Homer that Betty sent him to borrow some Duff Beer.
Continuity[edit]
- Homer tells Barney that he wouldn't fall for his trick, even if he had a Poochie puppet. ("The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show")
