== Cultural references ==
[[File:French Lieutenant's Woman.PNG|thumb|right|Comparison between the two scenes, highlighting the reference to [[Meryl Streep]]'s appearance in ''{{W2|The French Lieutenant's Woman|film}}''.]]
*When the kids, teachers, and staff wreck [[Springfield Elementary School]] in [[Bart]]'s dream, the song playing is "{{W2|School's Out|song}}" by [[Alice Cooper]].
**Bart's clothing in the dream resembles that of {{w|John Rambo}}, the titular character featured in the ''{{W2|Rambo|film series}}'' film series. 
*Some of the depictions of conditions at {{ap|Kamp Krusty|location}} are taken from the [[Allan Sherman]] song "{{w|Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah}}".
*Mr. Black mentioned that he was formerly the head of Euro Krustyland before it "blew up," referring to the unpopularity of {{w|Disneyland Paris}}.
*[[Krusty]] goes to the {{W|The Championships, Wimbledon|Wimbledon}} tennis championships.
*When the scene changes to Krusty at Wimbledon, "{{W|Rule, Britannia!}}" by {{W|Thomas Arne}} and {{W|James Thomson (poet, born 1700)|James Thomson}} plays.
*The kids being served "Krusty Brand Imitation Gruel" while Mr. Black and the bullies enjoy a banquet is reference to the Charles Dickens novel {{w|Oliver Twist}} and its {{W2|Oliver Twist|1948 film|film adaptation}}. 
*When [[Kearney]] beats a drum to make the kids in the sweatshop work harder, it's a reference to the slave galley scene from the movie ''[[Ben-Hur]]''.
*The scene where [[Lisa]] gives a bottle of whiskey to a man on horseback as payment for delivering a letter is a reference to the film ''{{W2|The French Lieutenant's Woman|film}}''. Lisa is also dressed much like [[Meryl Streep]]'s character was in the film scene.
*The sequence where Bart leads a revolt and the kids take over the camp is reminiscent of ''{{w|Lord of the Flies}}''.
*The 1991 fall of the {{w|Soviet Union}} is referenced when the rebelling campers uproot a totem pole of Krusty, parodying rioting Russians tearing down statues of {{w|Vladimir Lenin|Lenin}}, [[Joseph Stalin|Stalin]], and other Soviet dictators.
*The post-revolt Kamp Krusty (where Bart is in charge and the camp has been renamed to "Camp Bart") strongly resembles {{w|Walter E. Kurtz|Colonel Kurtz}}'s camp in ''[[Apocalypse Now]]''.
*Krusty saying: "I don't know her name, but she held up a liquor store last year" is a reference to troubled ''{{w|Diff'rent Strokes}}'' sitcom star {{w|Dana Plato}}. The actress infamously held up a video store in February 1991 after developing drug and alcohol problems. She died of a lethal overdose in May 1999.
*The song played over the closing credits is "[[South of the Border]]". However, the singer is not [[Frank Sinatra]], but [[Gene Merlino|a sound-a-like]].

== Trivia ==
*This is the first episode where we learn [[Dolph]]'s name, even though he has been seen since [[season 1]].
*When [[Dolph]] serves the "[[Krusty Brand Seal of Approval|Krusty Brand]] Imitation Gruel" to the kids, he is wearing a hairnet, making it one of the few times both his eyes are visible.
*[[Bart]]'s remark of "No way would I lend my name to a crummy product" is an ironic one; a likely reference to the [[Butterfinger]] commercials Bart has starred in.
*When [[Kent Brockman]] comments that he has reported on [[Afghanistan]] and [[Iraq]], he was referring to the {{w|Soviet war in Afghanistan|1979 Soviet invasion of Afghanistan}} and the 1991 U.S. invasion of Iraq (the first {{w|Gulf War}}), not the current conflicts, where the U.S. invaded Afghanistan in 2001 and Iraq in 2003.
*The episode was inspired by a staff member who worked as a teenager as a counselor in a summer camp and saw exposed live wires and other hazards. The producers said this episode was meant to relate to those who went to summer camps or took jobs in one.

== Goofs ==
[[File:Kamp Krusty Theme Song.png|thumb|right|[[Martin Prince, Jr.|Martin Prince]] is visible in the bottom right of the scene, despite being in a different part of the camp.]] 
*When the kids sing the "[[Kamp Krusty Theme Song]]", [[Martin Prince, Jr.]] is present, despite being in Fat Camp instead of the regular camp.
*[[Homer]] points out to [[Marge]] that now the kids are away, he has grown two more hairs, making it four on the top of his head. Later when they are reading [[Lisa]]'s letter, he has two hairs again. But later still when they are watching TV, he has four again. Two of them fall out when he sees that [[Bart]] is the ringleader, leaving him with his original two.
*When the kids rip Krusty's shirt to see if is the real him he buttons his shirt up then in the next shot his shirt is still torn.
*In the shot where Kearney is reading the letter sent to Marge whilst he is eating the jellybean cookies, there is a quick shot of Kearney's hand going in his mouth with the cookie to eat it. Note that there is nothing on his wrist. In the next shot where it is revealed that Kearney is reading the letter rather than Bart or Lisa, he has spiky, black collars on his wrist.
*When Lisa was looking at her report card, the writing appears to be pointed away from her for a couple of seconds.
*As Marge packs Bart's clothes, a brief mirror image of Bart is shown. However, the image was poorly drawn - his leg should have been reversed.
*The Krusty doll Bart clutches while muttering, "Krusty is coming, Krusty is coming, Krusty is coming..." has a black nose instead of a red one.
*Right before [[Mr. Black]] takes questions from the kids, he appears to mouth "now" but no sound is heard.

== Continuity ==
*In ''[[Man vs. Beast vs. Food]]'', when telling Krusty who he is, Bart mentioned he lead a revolt as Krusty's summer camp.
