Cultural references
- The episode title is a reference to the film Eyes Wide Shut.
- When Homer is twirling Maggie around by her pacifier, the music playing is "Flight of the Bumblebee".
- When Luann Van Houten leads Milhouse onto the set of Afternoon Yak (to appear in a segment titled "My Son Still Wets the Bed!"), Milhouse complains that she told him they were going to Red Lobster.
- The scene at the end of the episode where Homer drinks some Duffs to power himself up and rescue Marge is a reference to Popeye cartoons, in which Popeye often rescues his love Olive Oyl by powering himself up with spinach.

Trivia
- The movies playing at the Springfield Googolplex Theatres are Shenani-Goats!, Air C.H.U.D., Chocolate 2: The Vanilla-ing, Final Chapter: A New Beginning, Editor-In-Chimp, Too Many Premises!, Clone Me an Angel, and Dude, Where's My Pepsi?
- There is a float on the gay parade called "Stayin' In The Closet" with a man and a woman peering out. Their faces are not seen, but they do speak, and thus seem to be Patty Bouvier and Waylon Smithers, Jr.. Patty later confirmed she was a lesbian, in the Season 16 episode "There's Something About Marrying". However, there has been no official confirmation that Smithers is homosexual, although throughout the series it has been strongly implied that he is.
Continuity
- Homer's X-Ray clearly shows the crayon that reduces his intelligence. It was first seen in "HOMЯ."
