** The joke about Creator/JohnTravolta being the bartender in a disco-themed club in an amusement park had a different connotation when this episode aired than now. Most of his 1980s films were poorly received, and the odd ''Film/LookWhosTalking'' aside he was doing B-level films by the time this episode was produced. Mere ''days'' after this episode originally aired, ''Film/PulpFiction'' hit American theaters, reviving his career. By TheNewTens, however, it had burnt out again, bringing this joke full circle.
** "Euro Itchy and Scratchy Land" being completely devoid of visitors references the fact that in 1994 Euro Disneyland (now Disneyland Paris) [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disneyland_Paris#Opening_day_and_early_years was on the edge of bankruptcy]] due to poor attendance. It finally managed to turn a profit in 1995 and has since become one of France's most popular tourist attractions.

** The DVD commentary notes that censorship rules were putting the future existence of Itchy and Scratchy at risk, and that the network even told them to stop featuring the show. This episode, probably the most Itchy and Scratchy-centric in the history of the series, was the response of the writers.
