Despite FOX stating years ago that The Simpsons would no longer be allowed to show Homer nude, he appears butt naked in this episode for several minutes.
First time for the Simpsons to have a TV 14 DLSV likely due to Homer's nude scene.
The funeral guests take rocks from the grave of Krusty's father to throw at Mr. Burns. Placing a small stone on the tombstone is an old Jewish custom so therefore they were desecrating someone's grave.
The song playing in the montage of Homer enjoying being home by himself is "I Feel Free" by the super group "Cream".
