Talk:Half-Decent Proposal

Grampa
Grampa doesn't ask if Homer bowled a 300 game again, he just asks if he's bowled a 300 game, full stop. The point of the joke is that he's so senile that he's 18 months behind, as well as being a pop at the show's frozen timeline. 82.20.217.230 (talk) 18:15, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Cultural references

 * The music that is parodied on Homer's "sleeping" device is "Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)" by Eurythmics.
 * When Artie arrives in his helicopter, the scene resemble the arriving of Dr. John Hammond in Jurassic Park.
 * In the opening scene with Comic Book Guy, two signed pictures of Mark Hamill can be seen on the wall.
 * As Marge flies away in the helicopter with Artie Ziff, the theme song to M*A*S*H plays and the scene pans out to a shot of Homer next to a stone message that reads, "Keep Your Clothes On". This is a nod to the final scene of the final episode of M*A*S*H, only the stone message read, "Good-Bye".
 * The title and storyline parody the 1993 drama Indecent Proposal.
 * When Homer is running to the fake prom, the background music is "Mrs. Robinson" from The Graduate.
 * Seeing the fake prom, Homer apparently gets confused between real life and Back to the Future, believing that if Marge and Artie kiss, he will never be born. The earlier scene in which Dondelinger stops Homer and asks if he has been drinking is similar to a scene between Mr Strickland and Biff Tannen in the movie.
 * The suit that Principal Skinner is wearing is a parody of Austin Powers.
 * The modem plays the song Georgy Girl by The Seekers.
 * While Marge is at Patty and Selma's house, they watch "Nookie in New York" — a parody of Sex and the City, which Selma mentions is a show about four women who act like gay men.
