The hearings were a serious blow to the Mob in America, though they are more remembered these days for a side hearing on juvenile delinquency that became a referendum on comic books and the direct cause for the creation of the Comics Code Authority.

 *The dialogue for the [[German Krusty the Clown Show]] has a veiled Nazi reference within: Krusty's "Heil Heil" line in German was a reference to the mandatory greeting in Nazi Germany, "Heil Hitler" ("Heil" literally means "hail" as in greetings to). It was deleted in the German version.
-**Also, Mel's lament in German, "Krusty spritzen der Gaswasser" is grammatically incorrect.

A closer rendition would be "Krusty spritzt das Gaswasser."

-*Dunkilderry's location is not clearly defined. Although the episode is set in the Republic of Ireland, the policemen's uniforms and vehicles at the raid appear more Northern Irish (PSNI). The vehicle doors are clearly marked with "POLICE", as in Northern Ireland and in the rest of the English-speaking world, but in the Republic of Ireland, the Police are generally and officially called "An Garda Síochána" (Irish Gaelic for: "Guardians of the Peace of Ireland"), and policemen are referred to as a "Garda" (plural: "Gardaí"), and their cars are also marked with the words "GARDA". Still, only one scene later, in the court, Chief Wiggum is seen accidentally knocking down the Irish flag, but one of the policemen who participated in the raid earlier (and therefore is Northern Irish), is guarding the Irish court.
