Cultural references

  • The episode title is both a play on the phrase "Date with destiny", and a reference to the 1985 film Back to the Future, where George McFly mixes up the words "destiny" and "density".
  • Homer's doughnut "sprinkles" are made up of 13 M&M's (5 brown, 4 light orange, and 4 yellow), 3 Jolly Ranchers, a Twizzler, and a Mounds bar.
  • When Nelson is playing the guitar, he does a move similar to Angus Young's (and Chuck Berry's) "Duck Walk." He also mimics Pete Townshend's "Windmill."
  • At one point, Lisa says that Milhouse likes "Vaseline on toast," a possible reference to the song "She Don't Use Jelly" by the psychedelic alt-rock band The Flaming Lips - "She'll make ya toast/she don't use butter/she don't use cheese/she don't use jelly/or any of these/she uses Vaseline." However, one of the writers in the commentary says the idea came from when he was in school and actually knew a kid who actually ate Vaseline on toast at school.

Trivia

  • Maggie doesn't appear in this episode.
  • In the promos for this episode, there is a scene where Lisa and Nelson ride a bike together. This isn't in the proper episode.
  • It is revealed that Janey has a crush on Milhouse, and Üter has a crush on Janey.
  • Lisa's gets her first love in this episode, even though in "Lisa's Wedding", the fortune teller said Hugh Parkman would be her first love (although this may have been a lie) and in "Dude, Where's My Ranch?", Lisa said Luke was her first love.
  • Lisa claims that her first kiss was in this episode. However, her first kiss was in "Bart the General".
  • Lines from this episode have been used as a teaser for many scavenger hunts.
  • This episode marks the first occurrence of Lisa getting detention.

Goofs

  • In Lisa's music class, there is a wide shot of the entire class. Üter sits next to Milhouse Van Houten in this shot. However, in the next shot, it's Ralph Wiggum. In a following shot of the entire class, once again from the front, and it's Üter again. They both replace each other in the same seat (i.e.: Ralph is nowhere to be found in the shots with Üter and vice versa.)
  • The hole in Nelson's locker appears to increase in size.
  • After discovering the missing "H", Skinner refers to Nelson as Bart when telling him to return the items he stole.
