Cultural references
- This episode's title is a reference to The Manson Family, the cult lead by Charles Manson who were responsible for the murder of Sharon Tate and others. A film was later made named The Manson Family.
- Britney Spears is dressed as she appeared in her music video for her song "...Baby One More Time".
- Marge mentions Bill Cosby and David Letterman (she incorrectly calls them "Crosby" and "Letterson") as examples of famous comedians who smoke cigars while reprimanding Bart for doing so.
- Homer refers to international waters as "The Land That Law Forgot". This alludes to Edgar Rice Burroughs's famous 1918 science fiction novel, The Land That Time Forgot.
- The monkey named Furious George is a parody of Curious George.
- After watching a knife-fight between two monkeys, Moe comments "He ain't pretty no more!" This is Nicholas Colasanto's line in Raging Bull.
- The Coast Guard officer gets Homer's party going by sounding out the opening guitar riffs to the Doobie Brothers' song "China Grove".
- The medical painting which Mr. Burns and Smithers pass on the way out of the doctor's office at the Mayo Clinic is "The Gross Clinic", painted by Thomas Eakins. It depicts Dr. Samuel Gross and his students.
- The Mayo Clinic diagnoses Burns with "Three Stooges Syndrome", meaning that he has a multitude of medical conditions, but because they all cancel each other out, they can't harm him. The doctor likens the situation to The Three Stooges all trying to go through a doorway at the same time.
Continuity
- The portrait of Mr. Burns Marge painted in "Brush with Greatness" appears in a hall in his mansion.
