{{EpisodePrevNextRef|The Homer They Fall|Bart After Dark}}

== Cultural references ==
*The episode title is a reference to "Burn, baby, burn", a lyric from the 1976 song "{{w|Disco Inferno}}".
*Several elements of the episode parody the film ''{{w|Caddyshack}}'', which featured [[Rodney Dangerfield]]. These include Larry trying to fit in with Burns' associates and the party at the end, accompanied by {{w|Journey (band)|Journey}}'s "{{w|Any Way You Want It}}".
*''[[Peanuts]]'': [[Homer]] brushes off an almost completed puzzle of {{w|Snoopy}} on his doghouse from his workstation after he finds out Larry is working there. The piece where Snoopy's nose should be is intentionally missing in order to avoid infringing copyright.
*[[Dink]] is based on Dink Stover, the title character from the book ''{{w|Stover at Yale}}'' by {{W|Owen Johnson (writer)|Owen Johnson}}.
*This episode is replete with [[Rodney Dangerfield]]-type one-liners, most of which are spoken by [[Larry Burns]].
