Cultural References
The episode title is a play on the Detroit, Michigan based hip hop group, the Insane Clown Posse. Krusty's performance at the USO show is a parody of Bob Hope who is famously known for his USO Shows. Originally Moe was supposed to say Anny Deskanko in a reference to Ani Difranco. As in some previous episodes, there is a song featuring NRBQ. Fat Tony's real name is Marion, as was the late actor John Wayne.
In one scene, Krusty comes in with a problem and Homer asks Marge to play devil's advocate. However, instead of taking up an argument, the next scene shows Homer playing a pinball game called Devil's Advocate.

Famous quotes containing the word cultural:
“All cultural change reduces itself to a difference of categories. All revolutions, whether in the sciences or world history, occur merely because spirit has changed its categories in order to understand and examine what belongs to it, in order to possess and grasp itself in a truer, deeper, more intimate and unified manner.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
