== Cultural references ==
*The title of the episode is a pun on the which was also parodied as the titles of Season 1's "Moaning Lisa," Season 19's "Mona Leaves-a," and Season 22's "Loan-a Lisa."
*The fast-talking publisher who approves of Moe's poetry is a caricature of the publisher J. Jonah Jameson from Spider-Man. He is voiced by J. K. Simmons, who played Jameson in the first three - the second of which was co-written by Michael Chabon. At the end of the episode, he demands photos (then poems) about Spider-Man. The rhyme scheme he mentions is Petrarchan, an Italian sonnet style dating back to the 13th century. He then uses a quote from , "What are you waiting for, Chinese New Year?"
*Homer remarks that Moe is just like Eloise because he lives in a hotel.
*Moe says he's not a great man like Bob Seger or Haystacks Calhoun
*Bart tells a bunch of writers that "the Da Vinci Code just sold over a hundred million copies!", much to their chagrin.
*The song "Let's Get It Started" by The Black Eyed Peas is used in this episode.
*During the Chabon-Franzen fight, Chabon says, "I think your nose needs some corrections!", which is a reference to Franzen's best-known work The Corrections. Later, Franzen hits Chabon over the head with a Snoopy portrait, to which Chabon responds by saying, "Oh, you fight like Anne Rice!" before tackling him.
*During the high-dive event a senior's underarm flab turns into wings, and he flies around the arena to the theme music from .
*The 'Wordloaf' Convention is a reference to the Bread Loaf Writers' Conference, held every year at the Breadloaf campus of Middlebury College. Several Simpsons writers have attended Middlebury, and other references to the show exist, including one in which criminal Snake Jailbird is identified as a Middlebury alumnus.
*This has a similar plot to Flaming Moe's, where Moe steals a Simpsons' work and markets it as his own.
== Goofs ==
*In this episode, Moe lives in a hotel, but his actual home is a house similar to Nelson's (a broken-down shack). However, he could have moved.
*Moe's tie has horizontal triangles but in one shot they disappeared, then reappear in the next.
*During the scene with Grandpa offers Bart to Willie (dressed as the Grim Reaper), his teeth can be seen in his mouth, even though Willie is holding them.
*Lisa says she doesn't care about her grade (on her presentation about Moe). This is in stark contrast to her previous opinions and goals regarding her grades.
==Trivia==
*In the scene where a drunken Homer (upon arrival at the poetry building after driving between sips of beer) encounters every state police force from New England arriving, the policeman representing Rhode Island is a midget riding a tricycle patterned after police cars with sirens, referring to a common joke about Rhode Island that is in reference to their status as the smallest state in the United States.
*This is the second episode where Homer impersonates Moe with a joyous mood. The first was "Flaming Moe's".
*Tom Wolfe was previously in the season 12 episode "Insane Clown Poppy" in a non speaking role.
