Cultural references[edit]
- The title is a play on the film Das Boot. However, since Bus is of male grammatical gender, "Der Bus" would be correct German.
- Most of the episode about being on the island is a spoof of the classic novel Lord of the Flies, although in the end of the story the boys are rescued by a naval officer, who themselves are in the middle of a war. This ending is however true to the 1990 film version of Lord of the Flies, which made numerous changes to the original story.
- When the kids are squabbling in the classroom, Principal Skinner restores order by banging his shoe on the desk. Skinner's actions are similar to Soviet dictator Nikita Khrushchev at the UN allegedly banging his shoe on a table.
- When the rest of the children (led by Nelson) are chasing Bart, Lisa, and Milhouse and have smeared charcoal ash on their faces; Ralph Wiggum's face resembles Peter Criss of KISS.
- Milhouse swings across the chasm on a vine but refuses to throw it back to Lisa and Bart, similar to the behavior of Satipo towards Indiana Jones in the opening scene of Raiders of the Lost Ark.
- Bart said that the kids would be like The Swiss Family Robinson with more cursing.
- Comic Book Guy attempts to download a pornographic picture of Kathryn Janeway from Star Trek: Voyager.
- Bart asking Martin to set up a coconut radio is a reference to Gilligan's Island.
