the episode's title is a play on the saying "all's fair in love and war", a proverb found in john lyly's 16th-century book "euphues" that is commonly used to justify cheating. the episode features three different songs. the song "separate ways (worlds apart)" by journey is played in the background during homer's fantasy of him living next to himself. "boplicity" by miles davis is listened to by bart and milhouse, and "take five" by the dave brubeck quartet is played in the background at bart's treehouse. the episode's final scene, showing james caan being ambushed by hillbillies at a toll booth, is a parody of a scene in the film "the godfather" when sonny corleone, portrayed by caan, is shot and killed at a toll booth. the scene was also parodied in the episode "mr. plow", in which bart gets pelted by snowballs by nelson and his gang of bullies. marge suggesting that the pope has been letting things slide lately, is a reference to the sex abuse scandal of the early 2000s.

the film's writer-director took his inspiration from the bosphorus bridge toll booth attendants, who had always intrigued him, performing the same work, day after day. karaçelik said that one day he decided "to be cute", and told the attendant, "kolay gelsin!" (may it come easy). "he looked so bad at me," continued director, "i could not forget it." "the european union does not even sell tomatoes which grow near the highway, but these [toll booth attendants] live their lives there." he wrote a letter to the union of toll booth workers, yapıyol sen. "actually i wrote a poem, and all my friends made fun of me," he said, but the union quickly answered, providing the name and number of a contact. he conducted interviews with toll booth attendants first in the union office and then at the tolls, shooting the film just before the tolls at the bosphorus bridge were removed and replaced by an automated system. "they all say, ‘we live like a machine,’" he said. "one woman told me, ‘i work like a machine all day, go home, make dinner for my husband and kids like a machine, make love with my husband like a machine and go to bed like a machine.’" "the film provides social criticism but i chose to tell it through an individual," he continued, "our generation learned to think individually."
