-*''[[Jeopardy!]]'': {{ch|Alex Trebek}}'s comment that Marge owed the show $5,200 (based on her negative $5,200 score) is a spoof of criticism concerning Trebek's sometimes stern rules enforcement of shows he hosted, particularly during the early years of "Jeopardy!" Also a likely reference to Alex Trebek's early years hosting was that he is portrayed on ''The Simpsons'' with a mustache. At the time of the episode's airing and since then, Alex Trebek shaved off his mustache for a clean-shaven look. In actuality, ''Jeopardy'' contestants with a negative score by the time of "Final Jeopardy" are barred from participating in the final round, but given $1,000 as a consolation prize.

 *''[[It's a Wonderful Life]]'': The scene where everyone rallies around to support the Simpsons is reminiscent of the last scene of the classic holiday movie. The scene where George Bailey tells his child to stop playing the piano is also spoofed by Homer telling Lisa to stop playing the piano.
