Trivia
- Bart demands that Krusty the Klown deliver a pizza to him. He is then perplexed as to how can Krusty be delivering a pizza and on live television at the same time. Krusty insists he is just playing a rerun, and proves it by remarking that it aired on the day Argentina invaded the Falkland Islands.
