Cultural references[edit]
- The Roofi character is an obvious parody of children's entertainer Raffi.
- When Bart and Lisa fight over the control of the remote, they accidentally switch over to King of the Hill, where Hank Hill can be heard in the background saying, "Bobby, I've got propane in my urethra." which pokes fun at Hank's character (Hank has a son named Bobby, sells propane and propane accessories, and was diagnosed with a narrow urethra).
- The Gator Baiter is a parody of the TV documentary The Crocodile Hunter. The character in The Gator Baiter is a parody of Steve Irwin, "The Crocodile Hunter".
- When Maggie has the long handled pliers and grabs Homer by the nose, he rolls over and screams just like Curly from The Three Stooges.
- The news report on the baby riot is accompanied by a graphic which reads "The Tot Offensive," a reference to the 1968 Tet Offensive.
- After the adults go on their rampage, a tearful Milhouse (with a blubbery lip and arched eyebrows) watches Moe reverse the "Я" in the Toys "Я" Us sign. His expression is a parody of a famous World War II photograph of a crying Frenchman among a crowd staring and waving at the French Army's remaining troops leave France at Marseilles harbor in 1940. The image was distributed worldwide and becomes a symbol for the pain of the French being defeated by the Nazis.
- The Squeaky-voiced teen who says "It's time to put away childish things" is quoting Paul's first letter to the Corinthians (13:11).
- The toppling of the Itchy and Scratchy statue scene resembles the toppling of the Saddam Hussein statue.
- At the end of the episode, the members of Lindsey Naegle's group are defeated by the hugs of children, whom Lisa refers to as "God's lowliest creatures". This is a reference to The War of the Worlds, in which the Martians are defeated by bacteria ("God's lowliest creatures").
- When the kids hug the adults, Lewis has the colors of his look-alike.
- Lewis' lookalike's right eye is not completely colored when he blinks.
- Some people change places at town hall.
