Cultural references
- The title is a reference to G.I. Joe. "Grunt" is United States military slang for an infantry soldier. 'Annoyed grunt' is the script notation for Homer's favorite exclamation, D'oh.
- When the colonel has the recruits do push-ups while Homer eats donuts, it is referencing a scene in the movie Full Metal Jacket. The movie is again referenced when Homer wonders if the drill sergeant will ask him "what his major malfunction is".
- The Army recruitment film shown at Springfield Elementary uses "Arise, Ye Russian People" from Prokofiev's soundtrack for Alexander Nevsky before switching to Led Zeppelin's "Communication Breakdown."
- Milhouse asks about The Doodlebops, a popular children's show.
- The music playing during the assault course is the song Toy Soldiers by Martika.
- When the mini-helicopter blows up, "That's all Folks" appears in the enemy screen.
