Cultural references

Dumbbell's Soup

• The title of the episode is a reference to the Banksy film Exit Through the Gift Shop.
• The title screen gag is a reference to the English folktale Jack and the Beanstalk, with Bart cast in the role of Jack. Bart is shown carrying a harp and a goose down a beanstalk; in the folktale, a magical harp and a goose that lays golden eggs are among the items that Jack steals from the giant.
• The couch gag of this episode is a parody of Game of Thrones.
• The Dumbbell's Soup painting is a reference to Andy Warhol's Campbell's Soup Cans.
• Swapper Jack's is a parody of Trader Joe's.

Trivia

• Homer sings along to the theme song replacing the music with "doo"s.
• Marge's birthday is revealed to be on the 19th March.

Continuity

• A red can of paint thinner is seen again (though not identical), last seen in "Homer Scissorhands".
• Bart creates a graffiti image of Skinner saying "I am a wiener", just like he did in "Bart the Genius". This time, however, the word "wiener" is spelt with an "ie", not an "ei".

Goofs

• The phone wire isn't shown until Homer checks it.
• The first part of the episode is set on March 18, as shown by the calendar held up by Lisa at the beginning of the episode. However, a flyer for I, Carumba: The Nightmare World of El Barto states that the dates of the art gallery show are March 11 - August 15, a week before the start of the episode. Bearing in mind, Bart decided to become a graffiti artist after Marge's birthday on the 19th.
