Cultural references
- The episode's title is an allusion to Thomas Edison's nickname, "the Wizard of Menlo Park".
- White Heat: When running on a globe, Bart exclaims "Top of the world, Ma!", a reference to the second to last line of White Heat, "Made it, Ma! Top of the world!".
- A Child's Garden of Verses: Homer reads A Child's Garden of Edison.
- Gremlins: Homer invents an electric hammer
- Knight Rider: KITT makes a cameo
- Cornball 2: Homer runs over Edison in a dream
- The Strange Tale of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde: Homer has dillusions of an alter-ego.
Trivia
- When Homer daydreams about his funeral in The Graveyard of the Future, a tombstone with the name Tamzarian on it can be seen. Tamzarian being Principal Skinner's "real" last name from episode 9-2, "The Principal and the Pauper."
- On his blackboard, Homer has the equation 3987^12 + 4365^12 = 4472^12. This appears to violate Fermat's last theorem, as most calculators with less than 10 decimal places will show them as equal. However, it turns out there is a 0.000000002% difference between the equations. This is known as a near miss. Another near miss appears in Treehouse of Horror VI. [1]
Continuity
- When Homer fight ("The Homer They Fall") and on space ("Deep Space Homer").
