  • The family goes through a car wash while sitting on the couch.
  • The family members all have the bodies of cockroaches, and they scuttle off of the couch (except Maggie, who hides behind it).
  • Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie sit on the couch. The camera pulls back and we see a window with a King Kong-esque Homer who grabs Marge and climbs the building while fending off airplanes.
  • On a computer, pictures of the family are dragged onto the couch, and then deleted.
  • We see a vending machine with the family and several other characters inside of it instead of candy. Ralph walks up and orders Homer, bites off his head and walks away.
  • Homer makes a paper cut-out of himself, then pulls it out to reveal the whole family.
  • Family plays a game of Musical Chairs, Homer is the only one standing.


SimpsonsTrivia

Note, the bot needs improvement if we're going to use this alphabetical section since it's sorting the sub-list on one of the pages alphabetically - but it probably doesn't make sense to sort the trivia anyway.

  • Simpsons writer George Meyer can briefly be seen in this episode in animated form in the scene where Bart walks down the street.
  • One of the musicians in Krusty the Clown's list of performers near the end of the episode is Richard Sakai. Sakai is one of The Simpsons producers. He is shown playing a vibraphone.
  • This is the first time since "Treehouse of Horror III" that King Homer has appeared (though only in the couch gag).
  • The Blue Man Group attends Amber's funeral. In the prior episode, "Million Dollar Abie", their bodies can be seen on a Las Vegas garbage barge.
  • Bart quitting playing the drums because of a hand injury is similar to former System of a Down drummer Andy Khachaturian, who left the band due to a hand injury.
  • In this episode, Krusty admits he purges to stay in his actual weight.
  • Lunchlady Doris laughs when she pats Nelson on the head in this episode. She last appeared in a speaking role in the "The Mook, the Chef, the Wife and Her Homer".
  • Mrs Muntz's appearance has changed since she was last seen in "Sleeping with the Enemy".
  • Two politically incorrect words are hinted at in this episode. Martin compares the whole class standing up to Nelson to "single twigs" being bundled together into "a mighty faggot" (complete with a dictionary-style definition of the word being flashed on the screen) while Martin holds a bundle of sticks in his hands. While faggot is also a derogatory term for a homosexual male, it was alluded to in the Brokeback Mountain reference at the end. Later on we see Jimbo and Kearney jokingly calling each other "bully", a term which Bart finds offensive when used by non-bullies (allegorical with "nigga" amongst blacks and whites).
  • Michael was first mentioned in "The Seven-Beer Snitch" when Fat Tony brought up that Marge occasionally gives him rides home from school.
  • This episode's code is HABF15, meaning that to date, it is the earliest production code hold over shown.
  • This is the first time Lunchlady Doris has spoken since "Lisa's Sax". This time she was voiced by Tress MacNeille, having previously been voiced by Doris Grau.

  • The title of the episode is a pun on the Mona Lisa as well as a take on the title of the season one episode "Moaning Lisa".
  • The fast-talking publisher who approves of Moe's poetry is a caricature of the Daily Bugle publisher J. Jonah Jameson from Spider-Man. J. K. Simmons, who plays Jameson in the Spider-Man films, voices the character. At the end of the episode, he demands photos (then poems) about Spider-Man. The rhyme scheme he mentions is Petrarchan, an Italian sonnet style dating back to the 13th century.
  • Thomas Pynchon can be seen at the Wordloaf, wearing a paper bag over his head as he did in his two previous appearances on The Simpsons. John Updike is also present, sitting next to Pynchon. This episode originally aired two days before the release of Against the Day, Pynchon's first work published in nine years.
  • Wordloaf is a parody of the Bread Loaf Writers' Conference.
  • When Moe is shooting at the geese, a building closely resembling Middlebury College's McCardell Bicentennial Hall is visible in the background. (Middlebury is the host of the Bread Loaf conference.)
  • Homer and Bart visit the Vermont Teddy Bear Company where they have made bears that looked like Lisa and Moe.
  • The scene where the Crazy Old Man jumps off the high-dive board spoofs the intro to The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show.
  • At the Wordloaf building, there is a picture of Snoopy writing a novel on top of his doghouse, which is a common theme in Peanuts.
  • When the Star Spangled Banner is being played, Grampa says "Turn off that hippy crap!", as a reference to Jimi Hendrix's famous guitar version of the song.
