== Cultural references ==
*The episode references the film ''{{w|The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou}}'' in that Homer thinks he found his biological father. In ''The Life Aquatic'' Ned Zissou experiences the same. Also the episode references the underwater exploration team that is in the film.
*The song playing when everyone is disposing of their tires is "{{w|Ring of Fire}}" by [[Johnny Cash]].
*Grampa calls [[Mason Fairbanks]] "Horatio Homewrecker", which is a reference to the classic fictional British Naval Hero {{w|Horatio Hornblower}}.

== Trivia ==
*This episode's name was unknown while Season 17 was being aired.
*This is the second episode of Season 17 that has a full title sequence.
:*Actually it is only semi-full--The scene of [[Bart]] skateboarding down the sidewalk is cut.
*It's revealed that [[Jasper]]'s last name is Beardley, there is a [[Jebediah Springfield IV]] alive, and [[Marge]] was born in February.
*"Piso mojado" ("The famed emeralds of Piso Mojado") is Spanish for "wet floor".
*The memories of [[Homer]] and [[Abe Simpson]] before Homer passes out from lack of oxygen are:
**Abe playfully holding up his keys in front of Homer while he was a kid, to which Homer eventually succeeds in taking, and Abe stating that he likes Homer, up until he notices that Homer used Abe's keys to drive the car.
**A teenage Homer drawing an (albeit crudely drawn) portrait of Abe Simpson, with Abe expressing joy.
**Abe attending Homer's wedding with [[Marge]] and giving him his life savings in an envelope, only for a bird to snatch away the money, to Abe's disappointment.

*When [[Dr. Hibbert]] says "Homer's biological father is Mason Fairbanks", Mason stands up with a blue coat on and black jeans. Then Homer says "Who's Mason Fairbanks?" and [[Dr. Hibbert]] points to Mason in his usual attire.
*The wetsuit that Homer wears is supposedly painted-on, but a collar is clearly visible along with sleeve cuffs.
