Cooking with Kang and Kodos/References
Wikisimpsons - The Simpsons Wiki
Cultural references
- The cookbook that Serak had lent Kodos is titled To Serve Man, a reference to the The Twilight Zone episode of the same name.
- This particular episode has also been parodied in The Simpsons first halloween special, "Treehouse of Horror".
- Kang tells Kodos that cooking is the work of males, and that it is demeaning to see her even try it. This is a role reversal of stereotypical gender roles on earth.
- When Kodos tells Kang what she is making for dinner, Kang says "just like the one who spawned us used to make", a play on the phrase "just like mother used to make".
Trivia
- Kodos is refered to as being female.
- Even though Kang says that cooking is the work of males, he reveals shortly after that their own mother used to cook for them (unless on their world, it is the males who give birth).
