Cultural references
- The name of this episode refers to Henny Youngman's line, "Take my life, please". This line is also referred to in the episode titles "Take My Wife, Sleaze" and "Take My Life, Please", and mentioned in "Little Big Girl", where Bart says "Take my wife, Please. Hey, I finally get that joke!".
- At the video store, Homer watches Buttercups of Autumn, a parody of the film The Whales of August.
- Homer dances to the Mexican Hat song.
- The rap Homer does in his car before driving it off the pier comes from the Chaka Khan song "I Feel for You".
- While walking to work, Homer runs a stick across a fence, and then across George Wilson's face. Mr. Wilson was portrayed by the late Walter Matthau in the 1993 film, Dennis the Menace.
