Homer's voyage features surreal animation to depict the elaborate hallucination. The episode guest stars Johnny Cash as the "Space Coyote".
This episode was loosely adapted as the plot of the Simpsons level pack for the video game Lego Dimensions.
After a series of distractions from Marge, Homer suddenly smells out the annual chili cook-off. Marge admits that she was trying to keep Homer from attending because of his drunken antics at the previous year's event, so she only allows Homer to go on the condition that he does not drink any beer. At the cook-off, Homer demonstrates an extraordinary ability to withstand hot foods, until he fails against Chief Wiggum's chili which burns his tongue. Sobbing about his humiliation, he drinks several cups of water.
