*Lisa's story is similar to the book, ''{{W|Flowers For Algernon}}'', where a man writes in a journal about his slide into mental retardation (the season 12 episode "[[HOMЯ]]" would follow a similar plot that ''Flowers For Algernon'' does).

*[[Jasper]]'s subplot calls to mind the {{W|Frozen Dead Guy Days}} festival, held annually in Nederland, Colorado. The events of this festival are in homage to Grandpa Bredo, a cryogenically-frozen corpse who, since 1989, has remained in stasis inside a Tuff Shed and inspired two documentaries. It is unknown whether this festival inspired the scenario.

Goofs

  • Before Grampa tells Marge how to cut his hair, Marge uses the scissors to try and cut Grampa's hair, but she actually doesn't cut any.
  • After Lisa's speech, Kent Brockman is colored differently.

Continuity

  • Jasper is also seen frozen in the Kwik-E-Mart freezer in the comic story Kwik-E-Mart Holiday Savings Circular. In the story, just as in this episode, Apu attempts to exploit Jasper's situation for financial gain.
  • The scene where Lisa imagines herself as a morbidly obese redneck is similar to Bart's fantasy of him being a lardo on a workman's comp in King-Size Homer. In the fantasy Lisa wears Homer's Muumuu and in both fantasies Bart and Lisa have southern accents.
