Large Marge/References

== Cultural references ==
*Krusty as the guest villain "Clownface" in the classic Batman series could be an oblique reference to Maurice Evan's turn as The Puzzler, a one-shot villain created for the episode "The Puzzles are Coming!/The Duo is Slumming". Frank Gorshin, who played The Riddler, was either unavailable due to a prior commitment or holding out due to a contract dispute (depending on which version of the tale one reads), so a Riddler script was hastily rewritten to suit Puzzler. Krusty's resemblance to The Joker suggests that, in the Simpsons universe, Cesar Romero got the same deal.
*One of the protest signs held when Krusty is being harassed by the moral guardians has Beavis And Butthead (Mike Judge's adult animated series he did for MTV before moving to FOX to do King of the Hill) and Jackass (an MTV reality prank show starring Johnny Knoxville) scratched out. Both of those shows were targets of censors and media watchdog groups for showing dangerous stunts that could influence children and more impressionable viewers to copy in real life (with mostly fatal consequences).
*Former U.S. Presidents Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, and George H. W. Bush parody The Three Stooges.
*The perform two different variations of their 2000 hit "" in the episode:
**Near the beginning, Marge is driving with Maggie in the car and turns the station to Radio Disney, which plays music for babies. The song playing is "Who Left the Milk Out?" which Marge loves, but Maggie can't stand.
**Over the closing credits, the song playing is "Who Let Her Jugs Out? ", referring to Marge's flashing her breasts to the crowd near the end of the episode. The lyrics include Homer saying "D'oh!" several times.
*During the song "You're a Bunch of Stuff", where the male customers of Luigi's sing praises to Marge's augmented figure:
**Comic Book Guy compares Marge to "X-Men #3 in a Mylar bag", which he would see as something rare and extremely valuable. The real X-Men #3 comic came out in early 1964, and Mylar bags are commonly used to protect comic books from deterioration and preserve their value.
**Snake Jailbird compares Marge to a brand new muscle car with Mag wheels. Among muscle car enthusiasts, magnesium alloy wheels are a highly desirable accessory.
**The Sea Captain says Marge is like in his "favorite film, The Deep". The film's opening scene (which has achieved iconic status) shows Bisset swimming underwater wearing only a thin white T-shirt and bikini bottoms, putting her figure on display.
*When trying to guess Stampy's safety word, Krusty says "Columbo" (a TV mystery drama from 1968), "Modesto" (a city in California), "Daktari" (a family drama series from 1966) and "Nintendo" (a video game console company).
== Trivia ==
*The episode was nominated for the 2003 for Best Sound Editing in Television Animation - Music.
*This is the last episode featuring Marcia Mitzman Gaven voicing Maggie Roswell's characters and the last to have Jan Hooks as Manjula.
*Some scenes involving Marge's enhanced breasts were shown in FOX promos/commercials, but not in the episode (possibly edited due to censorship):
**Marge hides her breasts in the sink.
**Marge uses pans to cover up her breasts when Bart comes into the kitchen.
**Marge tries to cover her breasts with tennis rackets.
**Bart and Lisa run into Homer's and Marge's bedroom at night. Marge is in her robe and Bart stares at her cleavage. Marge frantically points to her face and tells Bart to "Just focus on Mommy's face", to which Bart replies, "I'm trying, Mom."

==Goofs==
*The sound mysteriously pauses when Krusty rushes out of the crowd to save Milhouse at the Springfield Shoe expo trade show.
*During the shoe expo, Marge's dress has shoulder straps for most of the time. But when she flashes her breasts to the crowd, her dress changes to a halter top (rather than sliding the straps off of her shoulders, she unfastens the dress at the back of her neck).
