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.

*In the segment, "Married to the Blob", the last homeless person to enter the "shelter" has a dog who sniffs the door and becomes alarmed. This is an allusion to the classic ''[[The Twilight Zone]]'' episode "[[The Hunt (The Twilight Zone)|The Hunt]]" in which a man (coincidentally - or not - named Hyder Simpson) is prevented from going to Hell by his dog who smells sulfur. ([[Treehouse of Horror XVII]])
*In this episode, Krusty admits he purges to stay in his actual weight. ([[Jazzy and the Pussycats]])

*The title of the second segment is a reference to a line in "[[The Gambler (song)|The Gambler]]" by [[Kenny Rogers]] (''You gotta know when to hold 'em''). ([[Treehouse of Horror XVII]])
*The title of the third segment is reference to the movie ''[[The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951 film)|The Day the Earth Stood Still]]'' which is also parodied by ''[[Futurama]]'' with the episode "[[The Day the Earth Stood Stupid]]."

*This is the first time since "[[Treehouse of Horror III]]" that King Homer has appeared (though only in the couch gag). ([[Jazzy and the Pussycats]])
*Two politically incorrect words are hinted at in this episode. [[Martin Prince|Martin]] compares the whole class standing up to Nelson to "single twigs" being bundled together into "a mighty [[faggot (wood)|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 [[Homosexuality|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 [[black people|blacks]] and [[white people|whites]]). ([[The Haw-Hawed Couple]])
*[[List of one-time characters in The Simpsons#Greta Wolfcastle|Greta Wolfcastle]] can be seen (for the first time since "[[The Bart Wants What It Wants]]") with her father [[List of media personalities in The Simpsons#Rainier Wolfcastle|Rainier Wolfcastle]] buying ice cream.
