Cultural references[edit]
- The story's title and plotline (and the reality TV show that Homer stars in) are references to, and parodies of, the reality show Man v. Food.
- They could also be considered as referencing and parodying the survival show Man vs. Wild, as Homer is competing against animals.
- Gus Gustavson is a parody of Guy Fieri, host and star of the food reality TV show Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.
