Cultural references
- Lisa's flippant remark of "What 'cha got?" to Miss Hoover is similar to Marlon Brando in The Wild One.
- Bart's fantasy of being a drifter and remarking that he was banished from a town by a sheriff is similar to First Blood, which revolves around the fact that the film's protagonist, John Rambo, was banished from a town on account of the fact he was scruffy and long-haired and the sheriff did want his kind in the town.
- Bart's courtroom appearance (where his face is concealed by a blue dot and his voice is altered to sound like Steve Allen's) is a reference to the 1991 rape trial of William Kennedy Smith. In television coverage of the trial, his accuser's face was concealed with a blue dot.
