Sideshow Bob is spotted twice in this episode. First his image comes across on the fax machine in Homer and Ned's office and later he can be seen escaping jail. edit »
Goof: In the scene where Ned is a magician there is an animation glitch. For about 1 second his eyes seem to pop out of his glasses. edit »
Music in this episode
"Toora Loora Loora" an Irish Lullaby (Lisa sings this to settle the quarreling Irish at the parade.)
"Electric Avenue" by Eddy Grant (Heard during Homer and Ned's bounty hunting montage.) edit »
Goof: When Bart is first seen in this episode, he's wearing a light green T-shirt with a 4 leaf clover symbolizing St. Patrick's Day. But when he's viewing the Irish folk dancers, he's wearing his regular orange-colored shirt. However, when he's viewing the parades between the Irish and Northern Irish, he's back in his green shirt. edit »

During Homer and Ned's chase scene, Homer jumps into a moving limousine and then exits victorious with an Emmy in his outstretched arm; a nod to The Simpsons 2008 Emmy win from a few weeks prior for Outstanding Animated Programming. edit »
Blackboard Joke: None.
Couch Gag: The family rushes to the couch and is then cryogenically frozen a la Han Solo in The Empire Strikes Back. Boba Fett then enters and takes them away. edit »

(Principal Skinner treats Superintendent Chalmers to dinner at his home.)
Superintendent Chalmers: Seymour, those string beans were cooked to perfection. After 20 years, I am finally starting to like you.
Principal Skinner: Just wait for dessert, sir. I made it with you in mind.
Superintendent Chalmers: Outstanding. I'll just shut my eyes and let you place it before me.
(Selma's erotic cake accidentally flies in through the window and lands on the table in front of Chalmers and Skinner and the two recoil in horror when they see it.)
Agnes: (from upstairs) Seymour! What's going on? I'm coming down there!
Superintendent Chalmers: Quick! We'll have to eat from each end. We'll know we're safe when our lips meet in the middle. edit »
Judge Snyder: Bail is set at $25,000.
Homer: (scoffs) I make that in a year. edit »
Marge: This was such a pleasant St. Patrick's day until the Irish people showed up. edit »
Mayor Quimby: Greetings, fellow Irishmen and lady-Irishmen! edit »

Jackie Brown
Robert Forster voicing a bail bondsman in this episode is quite possibly a reference to the Quentin Tarantino movie Jackie Brown where he also plays the same role. edit »
AC/DC
The song Homer and Ned sing in the car, "Kindly Deeds Done for Free," is a parody of Australian rock band AC/DC's "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" from the 1976 album of the same name. edit »
The Simpsons Game
The scene involving Ned chasing Homer through in the planetarium is a reference to the "Bartman Begins" stage of The Simpsons Game (2007). edit »
Grindhouse
One of the bounty hunters in Lucky Jim's stable is a woman with an automatic rifle for a leg, parodying the Cherry Darling character from the "Planet Terror" segment of the 2007 film Grindhouse. edit »
Dog the Bounty Hunter
Wolf the Bounty Hunter is an obvious parody of Duane Chapman, otherwise known as Dog the Bounty Hunter who stars in a reality series of the same name on A&E. edit »
