==Cutlural references==
*[[Homer]]'s colonoscopy is performed at the {{w|Mayo Clinic}}, which is famous for its research and for its treatment of difficult cases.
*When the [[Colorectal surgeon|doctor]] uncovers Homer's posterior, he waxes euphoric, comparing it to the {{w|Sistine Chapel}} and to {{w|Moby Dick (whale)|Moby Dick}}.
*While performing the colonoscopy, the doctor finds a CD of the [[The Beatles|Beatles]] album ''{{w|Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band}}''.
*When Homer wakes up, he sings the "Hallelujah Chorus" from {{w|George Frideric Handel|Handel}}'s ''{{w|Messiah (Handel)|Messiah}}''.

==Continuity==
*When Homer asks [[Marge]] if she's getting a breast enlargement, he uses the word "[[Made-up words#Embiggen|embiggen]]", one of the show's earliest and most famous {{w|Neologism|neologisms}}.
*Homer uses his "[[Mmm...]]" catchphrase when Marge tells him the colonoscopy will be at the Mayo Clinic.

==Trivia==
*Immediately after the colonoscopy, Homer heads for [[Krusty Burger]], in his haste running out of the room in his hospital gown and with the camera still inside him. In real life, because of the preparatory fasting required, it is not unusual for colonoscopy patients to be ravenously hungry following the procedure.
