The Chinese satellite scene, which ended the first part of the episode, was an attempt by Gould to write a bizarre joke in the style of fellow Simpsons writer John Swartzwelder.

 The hunting club Homer opens resembles Dana Gould's father's hunting club he opened when he was a child. He didn't need a liquor license to sell alcohol for a hunting club, much like Homer.<ref name="DVD Homer the Moe" />
