Cultural references[edit]
- The title of the episode and the opening scene of the episode is a reference to Citizen Kane. Rosebud is the final word of the protagonist in the film, Charles Foster Kane. The scene where Mr. Burns throws snow globes on his bedroom's floor and a reflection of a shattered one where Smithers enters the room mirrors from the film, with a nurse entering the room of the late Kane.
- Shows that Mr. Burns interrupted include Barney the Dinosaur, Soul Mass Transit System (a parody of Soul Train, and Bumblebee Man).
- The guards at Mr. Burns' estate are marching and chanting the same way as the March of the Winkies in The Wizard of Oz.
- The Ramones appear, performing for Mr. Burns and then insult him.
- Mr. Burns has a painting of a naked Mark Twain.
- Adolf Hitler and Charles Lindbergh both own Bobo after he is abandoned.
- After Burns is taken away from his family they remark that "At least we still have his brother George." George has an uncanny resemblance and mannerisms as comedian George Burns.
- Principal Skinner and the mob sing "High Hopes".
Trivia[edit]
- A picture of Australia is shown on a television, showing many Australians congregating together holding candles, which spell out "Monty Burns" from a space-view. However, the picture of Australia hardly looks like Australia and isn't curved. It is also missing the state of Tasmania, the southern most 'island' part of Australia; However, his head blocks the part of the TV which might explain its absence.
- One of the placards held by the mob that breaks into the Simpson's house has a sign that reads "we want bear" the other reads "we want beer".
Goofs[edit]
- In one scene, Dr. Nick has brown hair and not black.
- At the end of the episode, there is a clip in 1 million AD. Mr. Burns gets Bobo and says something to him. ("Bobo, I know I say this every century, but I'll never leave you behind again). When he says this the audio does not match what Mr. Burns is saying.
- When we see people digging Bobo out of the ice, they put him in a bag. If you look carefully you can see another Bobo put in another bag just before the shot changes.
- When Homer wakes up and sees the calendar, which is marked as "Burn's birthday", the calender is showing the month of September having 31 days.
- When we see Homer vowing never to show his bare butt in public again, everyone is on the red couch in front of the fireplace. Each time we cut to Lisa during this scene, the background indicates she is on the brown couch in front of the TV, instead of the red one. This is recycled footage from "Brush with Greatness"
- During the flashbacks, Bobo is on top of a submarine with the caption "NORTH POLE – 1957". The first submarine to travel below the North Pole was the USS Nautilus, but that did not happen until August 3, 1958.[1]
- Although shown as daytime in the episode it was pitch-black when Charles Lindbergh flew the Spirit of St. Louis over Paris and the crowds came with lights.
