Blackboard Joke: Have a great summer, everyone.
Couch Gag: The family enters the living room, but their couch shows its teeth and begins to come after them. They run out the front door and onto the street, where we see that their neighbors are having couch troubles of their own. We cut to Sherri and Terri's house where the twins are sitting on a bean bag couch that swallows them whole. Meanwhile Springfield's finest are being terrorized in their squad car by a couch and two chairs; Professor Frink's flying sofa is firing energy beams at him and Moe uses a shotgun to dispense with his bar furniture that is on the move. Finally Homer (tired from running) stops to rest at Couch World, where he is smothered by couches. (edit)

Marge: (Reading from a counseling book) "Try to frame criticism of your spouse in a positive manner."
Buck: Well, I'm positively sick of her shaking her lady parts for the world to eyeball. (edit) Moe: (While Tabitha Vixx is singing) Hey Buck! How does it feel that your wife is turning on a creep like me? Weird I bet. Heh heh. (edit) Tabitha: He was the first man who didn't just love me for my body. He always complimented me on my hair. (edit) Kent Brockman: Springfield is once again overrun with fair-weather fans.
Homer: The Isotopes are winning? To the bandwagon! (edit) Homer: What a game! I got on the kiss-cam, I participated in the wave and I got to pee in a trough. Marge, can we get a trough?
Marge: For the last time, no! (edit)

According to this episode, Sideshow Mel has an as of yet unnamed sister. (edit) Music From This Episode
"And Then He Kissed Me" by The Crystals. (Used to accompany the "Kiss Cam" segment at the baseball game.) (edit)

Homer: (to Tabitha) Why didn't you marry one of your crummy backup dancers?
A reference to pop star Britney Spears' former husband Kevin Federline, who used to be one of her backup dancers. (edit) Monk
The family watches the TV show Hunch, which is a parody of the detective/comedy show, Monk. (edit) Vin Scully
The broadcaster calling the Isotopes baseball games is modeled after famed Los Angeles Dodgers broadcaster Vin Scully. (edit) Black Sunday
The scene with the Duff blimp crashing and Homer running refers a similar scene in the 1977 film Black Sunday: The Goodyear blimp crashes at the Super Bowl by the hand of terrorists. (edit)
