Cultural references
- The title of the episode is a possible reference to the 1973 American action Buford Pusser semi-biopic film Walking Tall. In 2004, a remake of the film was released, starring Dwayne Johnson.
- On the list of things that never trended:
- Pharrell Williams starts to sing "Happy" before he is put on a horse and sent off.
- Marge's scrapbook website is called scrappedout.com, referencing The Simpsons: Tapped Out.
- In the list of names Homer tells his friends they can't call him:
- Michelin Man
- Papa Grande
- Augustus Gloop from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
- Blob Saget, referring to Bob Saget.
- Manfred Manboobs, referring to Manfred Mann.
- 21 Lump Street, referring to 21 Jump Street.
- Harvey Milk Chocolate, is a reference to Harvey Milk.
- Obese Want Canoli, referring to Obi-Wan Kenobi from Star Wars.
- KFC and the Sponge Cake Band, referring to KC and the Sunshine Band.
- The Foody Blues, referring to The Moody Blues.
- Albert getting off his scooter references Jurassic Park.
- Bart's appearance in the final scene parodies Robocop.
- When Marge points out that Albert never stands up, Homer points out that Charles Xavier from Marvel Comics never does this. Marge then points out that the character is paralysed (although he regained his ability to walk a few years back).
Continuity

- Bart mentions writing a song for Lisa's birthday with Leon Kompowsky. ("Stark Raving Dad")
- The song references Hurricane Barbara. ("Hurricane Neddy")
- In the transitions from 30 years ago to the present, Rabbi Krustofski disappears. He died in "Clown in the Dumps".
- At the end of the episode when time is advancing and Homer's weight keeps changing, he wears his muumuu. ("King-Size Homer")
- Several of the people at town hall in the past appear as they did in other flashback episodes.
- One of the scrapped lyrics from Bart and Lisa's song referenced the shooting of Mr. Burns. ("Who Shot Mr. Burns?")
- In the scene set 30 years in the past, a young Seymour Skinner is seen wearing a sailor outfit. This outfit was mentioned in "Brother from the Same Planet".
- Additionally this proves that "The Principal and the Pauper" is non-canon.
