Cultural references

• The name of the episode is a reference to the band Alice in Chains.
• The scene where Maude Flanders spies on Marge in the bathroom through a hole in the wall is a parody of the classic 1960 horror film Psycho.
• In one scene, Lisa compares Lionel Hutz to famed lawyer Clarence Darrow, although Hutz confuses him with Clarence Williams III.
• The environment of the Women's Prison in which Marge serves her sentence resembles that as seen in Prisoner.

• The prisoner nicknamed "Tattoo Annie" has a MAD magazine fold-in tattooed on her back, which when "folded-in" (by pushing her shoulder blades together) shows the face of the magazine's mascot, Alfred E. Neuman, and his famous catchphrase, "What me worry?"
• Homer complains that he is going to miss Sheriff Lobo.
• In the courtroom scene, the Blue-Haired Lawyer asks the jury who's more attractive, Mel Gibson or Tom Cruise (both hailed as sex symbols at the time), while holding up their pictures.
• The scene where the people knock the statue of Jimmy Carter down and call him a monster could be a reference to what people did to the Vladimir Lenin statues in the Eastern European countries after the Soviet Union collapsed.
• Marge's prisoner number is 24601, a reference to the book-turned-musical Les Miserables. Coincidentally, that number would later become Sideshow Bob's most commonly seen prison number.
• The TV show on FOX that Ned watches and laughs at, and thus causes him to believe he is damned, is an animated recreation of Married...with Children.

Reference to The Crying Game

There should be an entry in the Pop Culture section about when the mayor gives away one of the greatest plot twists in movie making history by revealing the secret in The Crying Game. This episode gets mentioned in The Crying Game Wikipedia entry. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.56.145.35 (talk) 08:31, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Source? -- Cirt (talk) 14:10, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

I submitted the above recommendation. I created an account in case you were asking for my identity as a source. Sturminator2010 (talk) 07:23, 30 August 2010 (UTC)sturminator2010

That would be a violation of WP:NOR. Please read WP:RS, regarding what constitutes reliable, secondary sources. -- Cirt (talk) 14:31, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Thank you,

Update: I've gone through and attempted to make some additional copy edits to improve the page quality, specifically with regard to improving succinct wording and making the writing style a bit more concise in nature. Additionally I strongly feel the free-use image should remain as strongly relevant to the Production topic of the article. Thank you, — Cirt (talk) 00:11, 25 February 2016 (UTC)

As I am outright disgusted by the above comments, I wish to have no further interactions with you if that's how you are going to interact with me. You are treating me like a common vandal and you (ridiculously) view my good faith minor copyediting as mass destruction of the entire encyclopedia. —DangerousJXD (talk) 03:52, 25 February 2016 (UTC)

Thanks very much for your kind understanding and agreement to cease disrupting the article's quality and stability. Much appreciated, — Cirt (talk) 16:32, 25 February 2016 (UTC)

We all make mistakes; not everybody is willing enough to admit them. Instead, those people make comments like the above to reflect the complete opposite as to what is actually happening. We both know that comment is complete crap but you will never ever admit that but if you did, it would only be to 'win' the discussion. I'm not in any discussion to get the final witty comment. Just like any further comments of yours. They wouldn't be sincere comments addressing the issue. Oh well. To quote a troll, "Good luck" and goodbye. —DangerousJXD (talk) 21:54, 25 February 2016 (UTC)

I'm sorry you feel that way, but I wish you the best in your future endeavors. — Cirt (talk) 23:52, 25 February 2016 (UTC)
