Comparison of the two posters

• The episode title is a reference to the FOX television series Homeland.
  • Kristen Wiig's character (Annie Crawford) is a parody of Claire Danes's character from Homeland.
  • The poster for the episode parodies Homeland's poster.
• The title screen gag is a reference to Larry Walters, a,k.a. "Lawnchair Larry". In 1982, Walters tied 45 helium-filled weather balloons to a patio chair, strapped himself into the chair, had his friends cut the rope tethering him to the ground, and rapidly rose into the air. His improvised airship reached a height of over 15,000 feet, causing some consternation when it drifted into an airport's approach path. In the 1990s, his flight became famous as a true urban legend.
• The song "Swag" is a parody of the song "Fame" from the musical film of the same name.
• Homer refers to Garfield.
