Much of the episode parodies this movie. One scene in particular is spoofed: the part where Will gets a girl's number and holds it up to the window and shouts "How do you like dem apples?!" is re-enacted.
In the original movie a monkey is made smarter from a drug, here is a hat. Besides in moment given in "Futurama" the monkey holds a hair dryer and in the original movie the monkey kills someone by throwing one on a bathtub.
