== Cultural references ==
*At the movie theater, when [[Homer]] has butter put on his {{w|Milk Duds}} to the point of overflow he says "Swim, my pretties," a parody of the Wicked Witch of the West's call to her flying monkeys in ''{{w|The Wizard of Oz}}'': "Fly, my pretties:". (This line isn't actually said in ''The Wizard of Oz'', but Homer is relying on popular understanding.)
*The [[Buzz Cola]] advertisement shown before the movie is a parody of ''{{w|Saving Private Ryan}}'', directed by {{w|Steven Spielberg}}.
*The movie the Simpsons see, ''[[The Poke of Zorro]]'', is a parody of ''{{w|The Mark of Zorro (1974 film)|The Mark of Zorro}}'', ''{{w|The Three Musketeers (1993 film)|The Three Musketeers}}'', ''{{w|The Man in the Iron Mask (film)|The Man in the Iron Mask}}'', and ''{{w|The Scarlet Pimpernel}}''. Other films that are playing in the cinema's are ''My Dinner with Jar Jar'', ''Mars Needs Towels'', ''That 70's Movie'', ''Shakespeare in Heat'', ''Facepuncher IV'', and ''Das Booty Call''.
*The "[[Glove Slap]]" montage song is a parody of "{{w|Love Shack}}" by [[The B-52s]] and is played by them.
*The farmer using an elephant to measure the height of his stalks of corn is in reference to a {{w|Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin'|song}} in the musical ''{{w|Oklahoma!}}'', wherein the corn "is as high an elephant's eye".
*The Tomacco-craving animals trying to break into the barricaded farmhouse recall the zombies from {{w|George Romero}}'s ''{{w|Night of the Living Dead}}''.
*The Simpsons farming montage music is the theme song from ''{{w|Green Acres}}''.
*When the [[Southern colonel]] shows up at the Simpsons' house to duel, he says "Sir, I say sir!" much like cartoon character {{w|Foghorn Leghorn}}. He also has a similar accent.
*The Southern colonel's RV has mudflaps of him drawn like {{w|Yosemite Sam}}.
*The scene with Homer worrying about the duel the next morning whilst looking at a tombstone with his own name on it spoofs the 1990 film ''{{w|Back to the Future Part III}}''.
*The death of the [[Laramie]] team in the helicopter, at the hands of a Tomacco-crazed sheep, is a nod to a scene in the James Cameron film ''{{w|Aliens (film)|Aliens}}'', where the crew of the marines' drop-ship meet the same fate, when an alien sneaks aboard their ship.
*The title is a reference to children's nursery rhyme "{{w|Old MacDonald Had a Farm}}".
*The scene where Zorro is shot by the Southern colonel in Homer's mind is a reference to the same scene in Indiana Jones and the Raiders of Lost Ark.

== Trivia ==
*Inspired by the episode, {{W|Products produced from The Simpsons#Tomacco|Rob Baur}} of {{W|Lake Oswego, Oregon}} actually created [[Tomacco]]; both plants are members of the {{W|Solanaceae|Nightshade}} family and are therefore similar enough to create a hybrid.
*{{W|Plutonium}} is shown as a glowing green liquid even though it is a dull silver metal with a melting point of 1183 degrees Fahrenheit. However, radioactive materials are often depicted as glowing green in popular culture.

== Continuity ==
*The janitor Homer took the glove from was previously seen in [[Las Vegas]]. ("[[Viva Ned Flanders]]")

== Goofs ==
*Homer's childhood home on [[Rural Route 9]] burned down in the episode "[[Grampa vs. Sexual Inadequacy]]" (season 6), yet it is still there in this episode. One of the official ''Simpsons'' episode guide books, ''[[The Simpsons Beyond Forever!]]'', claims that this episode must take place before the season 6 episode. Either that, or the Rural Route 9 house was saved by the local fire department in said episode, yet in "[[Grampa vs. Sexual Inadequacy]]", you see the house collapse.
*When Principal Skinner and Mrs. Skinner first enter Moe's Tavern, the door is grey, but after they step inside, the door is brown.
