Cultural references

Continuity

  • The term "wedge issue" is also punned in the title of the comic story Wedgie Issue.

Trivia

  • In this episode, the flag pole is as tall as the school.
  • This episode features the show's first ever true grounding, and the first to stand for the rest of the episode. Prior to this episode, Bart and other children would be sent to their rooms, or punished in other ways. This episode is the culmination of the increase in groundings that started in season 20, with more groundings being used in seasons 20-21 than the previous 19 seasons put together.

Goofs

  • About 8 minutes into the episode, Lisa's pearls briefly appear red like Marge's, a goof commonly seen in episodes.
  • When Lisa was explaining her example fraction equation's answer, it is incorrect. 1/2 + 1/3 does not equal 3/anything. It equals 5/6 minimum. However, she could've meant 3/6 + 2/6 instead.
  • Although the subway system is abandoned, it is still used in various couch gags.
