- The theme music from The Mary Tyler Moore Show plays as Bart moves into his apartment. After the music finishes, Bart tosses his cap into the air, similar to Mary Richards tossing her hat into the air during MTM's opening sequence, except that Bart's cap is destrpyed by a ceiling fan.
- The scene in which Homer is sitting at his computer with a large glass of whiskey, watching Bart on the live feed from Tony Hawk's webcam, and says "Of all the sites, on all the web, I had to click onto his..." is a reference to a classic scene in the film Casablanca, in which Humphrey Bogart's character, Rick, sits at a table in his bar, drinking a large glass of whiskey, and says "Of all the gin joints, in all the towns, in all the world, she walks into mine...". The music that starts playing at the end of Homer's line is "As Time Goes By", which is played several times in Casablanca, including during the aforementioned scene.
Trivia
- This episode was advertised to be the 300th episode of The Simpsons, but, in production code order, it is the 302nd episode.
- When Bart watches the video of the Baby Stinkbreath commercial, he states to Lisa that he didn't remember being in a commercial. Then he pulls out a Butterfinger and eats it. This is a reference to the old Butterfinger adverts The Simpsons used to be in.
