Production
- This episode was the second episode to be digitally colored (instead of colored traditionally through cel animation), a practice that would later be used starting with the season 14 episode, "The Great Louse Detective". The first was season seven's "Radioactive Man".
Cultural References
- The title is a play on the comic strip (and movie) Dennis the Menace.
- The episode is notable partly for the competition that emerges between Homer and Bart over Marge, and Lisa indeed makes a reference to Oedipus.
- When Andre Agassi introduces himself at the tennis match, Homer comments "The wrestler?", confusing him for professional wrestler André the Giant.
- Grandpa sings the "What's New Pussycat?" theme by Tom Jones at the talent show, replacing "whoa whoa whoa" with "ow ow ow," and "oh, god, no," having injured himself attempting to dance.
- When Homer is in the shower, Bart makes him scream in the style of Mary Had A Little Lamb, then Beethoven's 5th Symphony.
Goofs
- Homer mistook tennis for foxy boxing, but didn't know the name. He called it, "the sport where the chicks whale on each other", but in "Lisa on Ice" he knew the "sport" had a name.
