Cultural references[edit]
- The title is a reference to the popular comedy movie There's Something About Mary.
- The couch gag is a reference to the NHL hockey lockout.
- Veronica sings a couple lines of the Aerosmith song "Dude (Looks Like a Lady)".
- Howell Huser is a parody of long time public access host of "California's Gold", Huell Howser.
- After Bart and Milhouse's attempt to get a seedless watermelon dropped on Barney Gumble by using a can of Duff Beer as bait backfires, Barney says to the boys "Now, as the Road Runner said to the coyote..." then jumps up ala the Road Runner (from Looney Tunes) saying "Meep-meep!" and zips off with a ricochet sound effect.
- Although Homer stopped being homophobic in "Homer's Phobia" and even lived together with two openly homosexual men in "Three Gays of the Condo", he still can be seen holding a sign "Death before gay marriage".
- Reverend Lovejoy is unable to cite the book in the Bible condemning homosexuality (allegedly Genesis, Leviticus and others), yet in "Homer the Heretic", he is able to cite a completely random Bible verse of Homer's choosing from memory (Matthew 21:17).
