- The vampire novel Nikki is holding while talking to Bart is called Red Moon, a parody of the Twilight series book New Moon.
- The portion of Bart's dream involving the spoof of Alien 3 is a reference to a film reviewed by Jay Sherman in The Critic.
- Michelle Obama posts comments on Lisa's blog under the username FLOTUS1, and later tells Lisa she would have used FLOTUS but it was already taken. FLOTUS is an acronym for Mrs. Obama's title: First Lady Of The United States.
- Some of FLOTUS's bodyguards wear MTVs (Modular Tactical Vests) which are currently only at use with the USMC.
- This is WALL•E's second appearance in The Simpsons. The first was "The Burns and the Bees".
- Nikki's parents are modelled on Anna and Marcus from the V TV series.
