• The third segment is a reference to the romance of Sid Vicious and Nancy Spungen and the film Sid and Nancy. Bart is also featured in the story as Johnny Rotten. The plot has chocolate substituting drugs which is similar to the Season 15 episode, "The Regina Monologues". CBGB was a music bar (though here we discover that it stands for Comic Book Guy's Bar).
• Although a Sex Pistols song was featured in "Missionary Impossible" ("No Feelings" during the "Do Shut Up" sequence), the Pistols in the Sid and Nancy sequence do not actually sing any Pistols songs.
