== Trivia ==
*The chalkboard gag "The Principal's toupee is not a frisbee" is the only mention of [[Principal Skinner]]'s hair being fake in the entire series. Therefore, it is safe to assume it is not true.
*The plot of this episode is similar to a ''[[The Ren & Stimpy Show]]'' cartoon produced around the same time and vice versa. [[Dan Castellaneta]] provided the voices of Ren and Stimpy in this sequence instead of [[Billy West]].
**Incidentally, Rough Draft Studios does the animation for both ''The Ren and Stimpy Show'' and ''The Simpsons'', while Billy West would become one of the main voice actors of ''[[Futurama]]'', another [[Matt Groening]] creation.
*The pickup truck that [[Milhouse]], [[Lewis]] and [[Richard]] are in appears to be driven by [[Jimbo]].
*The logo for [[Bigger Brothers Agency]] is a silhouette of [[Tom]] and [[Pepi]] walking into the sunset at the end of the episode (possibly a deliberate foreshadowing).

*The episode's title is a play on John Sayles' movie ''{{W|The Brother from Another Planet}}''. ''The Simpsons'' has also spoofed this title with the episode title "[[Brother from Another Series]]".
*The R-rated movie Bart's friends are so excited about seeing is ''{{W|Barton Fink}}'', a 1991 drama about a struggling screenwriter in the 1940s, which presumably is far from what they would hope to see.
**A later episode, "[[Bart the Fink]]", would take its title from that film, which, like ''The Simpsons'', is produced by 20th Century Fox.
*[[Milhouse]] writes "Trab pu kcip" on the wall, which is "Pick up Bart" backwards, a reference to Danny Torrance writing "redrum" (which is "murder" backwards) in ''[[The Shining]]''.
*The woman that Bart mistakes for Homer in an ironic touch sings ''{{W|I Am Woman}}''.
*While Bart is stuck in the storm waiting for Homer, a nun is lifted up by the wind, a reference to the TV series ''{{W|The Flying Nun}}''.
*Marge tells Lisa about her crush on [[Bobby Sherman]] when she was a girl.
*The grapefruit scene is a reference of the [[James Cagney]] movie, ''{{W|The Public Enemy}}''.
*When Bart tells himself "{{W|Eye of the Tiger}}, Bart" he is making a reference to what Rocky says to himself in ''{{W|Rocky III}}''.
*The organization "Bigger Brothers" is an obvious reference to {{W|Big Brothers Big Sisters of America}}.
*When Homer tells Bart "You've been out gallivanting with that floozy of a bigger brother of yours, haven't you? Haven't you!" he is making a reference to ''{{W|Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (film)|Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?}}'' when Richard Burton accuses his wife of adultery.
*Skinner makes a reference to the movie ''{{W2|Psycho|1960 film}}'' when he says "Oh... there's mother now." This is the first time Skinner has been portrayed as a {{W|Norman Bates}}-like character.
*At one point, Bart tells Homer that he would fake the excitement he would have when Homer pushed him on the swing and demonstrates it, to Homer's horror. This is a reference to the infamous fake orgasm scene in ''{{W|When Harry Met Sally}}''.
*A section of the fight between Homer and Tom parodies the introduction to ''{{W|Street Fighter II}}''.
*At one point, Bart watches "Tuesday Night Live", which is a parody of NBC's ''[[Saturday Night Live]]''. At a commercial break, Bart comments that he misses [[Joe Piscopo]], who was a cast member on the show from 1980 to 1984.
**When Krusty mentions his new movie with {{W|Marvelous Marvin Hagler|Marvin Hagler}} and [[Tova Borgnine]] the audience remains silent.
**Krusty appears on a sketch called "The Big Ear Family", which could be a reference to either the ''{{W|Coneheads}}'' or {{W|Short-lived recurring characters on Saturday Night Live#The Widettes|The Widettes}}; The Coneheads being a family of aliens with large cone-shaped heads, and the Widettes being a family of people with abnormally-large rear ends.
*When [[Lisa]] goes to [[Dr. Hibbert]]'s office and gets eardrops, Hibbert offers her a ''[[M*A*S*H]]'' coloring book in case she gets bored while waiting for them to sink in.
*The fight between Homer and Tom mirrors a fight at the end of ''{{W|The Quiet Man}}'', a John Wayne movie.

== Continuity ==
*The name "IP Freely" was previously used in "[[Homer's Odyssey]]" by Bart as a [[Bart's Prank Calls|prank call]] to [[Moe]]. This time the call was made by drunken fraternity boys, who were pranking [[Kent Brockman]] by telling him there was a giant lizard in Downtown [[Springfield]].
*The shot of [[Homer]] mentioning about "wiggling one's butt" is recycled from the opening scene from "[[Life on the Fast Lane]]".
*A picture of [[Bea Simmons]] from "[[Old Money]]" hangs in Grampa's room.

== Goofs ==

*In various scenes, the painting behind the sofa has its colors changed.
