Things Molloy robbed from the people of Springfield include:
Ned's Shroud of Turin beach towels. The Shroud of Turin is a linen cloth that shows the image of a man who has marks and physical traumas typical of a crucifixion.
Skinner's Stormin' Norman commemorative plates. Norman Schwarzkopf Jr., aka Stormin' Norman, was a United States Army general and important military figure during the Gulf War.
The sequence when Homer imagines himself riding the bomb at Herman's Military Antiques is a parody of the 1964 black comedy film Dr. Strangelove, specifically to the scene where Major Kong (Slim Pickens) is dropped out of a B-52 "riding" a nuclear bomb.
When Homer uses the Rapmaster 2000 megaphone to speak to the neighborhood, the kids run into the street saying "It's Hammer!" referring to rapper MC Hammer, who experienced his greatest success in the late 80s and early 90s.
According to the street saxophonist, he got his saxophone from Sears, the American chain of department stores.
The nodding scene between Homer and Skinner outside the Springfield Museum parodies the mannerisms of Sargeant Joe Friday (Jack Webb) and Officer Bill Gannon (Harry Morgan) in the 1967 TV series Dragnet.
The scene where Bart tricks a man into driving a car into "shallow" water is an exact recreation of the scene where Otto Meyer (Phil Silvers) gets his car stuck in a river for trusting a kid he met on the road.

J. Russell Finch (Milton Berle) and "Benjy" Benjamin (Buddy Hackett) are seen briefly during the digging sequence.
An instrumental version of "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World" by Ernest Gold is heard.
When Homer is on the news talk-show, he puts his hand on his chest and the opening of his shirt appears over the back of his hand.
742 Evergreen Terrace would eventually be the address for the Simpson house and in this episode Chief Wiggum says the Simpsons' address is 723 Evergreen Terrace.
When Nelson calls on the phone to harass Bart about his stamp collection, the close-captions miscredit the line to Milhouse.
When Chief Wiggum opens the suitcase, no sound of opening the suitcase is heard. That's because the sound of the suitcase opening can be heard a second beforehand.
The man who drowned in the river appears at the T-shaped tree with a shovel.
