* WriteWhatYouKnow: Apu studying computer science is based on David X. Cohen's own academic background, where he met and became friends with Indian people in the department. Similarly, the scene where Apu does an in-depth explanation of what caused the American Civil War, only for the test taker to respond with "just say slavery", is something that actually happened to a friend of Cohen when she got her citizenship test taken.

The name of Proposition 24 was also taken from Cohen's jersey number in little league.

* DeletedScene:
** A slight extension to Homer being "menaced" by the bear has it eating his business cards when it gets his pants.
** At the second mob scene, it's shown Quimby could make allowances in the budget for the Bear Patrol, but he'd have to give up his secretarial pool. Which is actually a pool room beside his office where various scantily clad women are frolicking and playing, which is where Quimby decides to shift blame to immigrants.
