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:
“A culture may be conceived as a network of beliefs and purposes in which any string in the net pulls and is pulled by the others, thus perpetually changing the configuration of the whole. If the cultural element called morals takes on a new shape, we must ask what other strings have pulled it out of line. It cannot be one solitary string, nor even the strings nearby, for the network is three-dimensional at least.”
—Jacques Barzun (b. 1907)
