- The song playing while The Fight Club beat up Chalmers is "Don't You (Forget About Me)", part of the soundtrack of The Breakfast Club.
- Chalmers says that the best movie about Theodore Roosevelt is Night at the Museum, either the first movie or the sequel. Roosevelt was played by Robin Williams and was a major character in the first film, but had less of a role in the second film.
- The T-shirts that the school offers are parody versions of Phillips Exeter Academy and Andover
- When Bart mentions Theodore Roosevelt getting shot by a saloon keeper but carrying on his speech, this actually happened when saloon keeper John Flammang Schrank shot Roosevelt.
