Couch: The family form a pyramid, with Maggie on top.

Homage: Principally GoodFellas (Martin Scorsese, 1990), in which a young boy is employed by the Mob as their messenger (the sequence when Bart falls down the steps into the cellar club is very similar) - but also The Godfather (Francis Ford Coppola, 1972). Bart sings Frank Sinatra's Witchcraft in the kitchen.

Hi, I'm Troy McClure, you may remember me from: Such films as The Revenge of Abe Lincoln and The Wackiest Covered Wagon in the West.

Itchy and Scratchy in: The Sounds of Silencers.

Notes: This episode contains what may be Principal Skinner's finest hour, as he explains away his apparent death to a stunned courtroom.
