Trivia

  • The label on the crate that the bullies steal from the Kwik-E-Mart reads "LABIOS CALIENTES", which is Spanish for "hot lips". The bullies are evidently ignorant of Spanish, as they think the crate contains Mexican beer.
  • While the bullies trail Bart in a stolen police car, Dolph mentions that inside the car there are surveillance photos of his sister.
  • Jimbo is shown to be allergic to bee stings.
  • The school cafeteria's special is pan drippings.
  • The sign outside the Springfield Tire Yard reads "We don't burn tires in your toilet, please don't pee in our dump!"
    • Another sign reads "Combustibles welcome!"
  • The Springfield Shopper's slogan is "Where news isn't just about the facts".

Continuity

  • The Monorail plays an integral part in the storyline, and is shown to be in severe disrepair.
  • The video camera Bart used has a "Property of Ned Flanders" sticker on it.
  • One of the recordings Bart had made with the camera is of Lisa kissing a photograph of Corey. On the photo are the words "To my #1 fan, Lisa, Corey."
  • The bullies clean the Jebediah Springfield statue with Mr. Sparkle "Pigeon Crap Formula". The box says that it is "For Unsightly Stains and Hip Jeans!"
  • "El Barto was here" is written on the inside of Bart's locker.
    • El Barto's signature can also be seen on the dumpster outside the Kwik-E-Mart.
  • Both Sideshow Bob and his brother Cecil appear as two of the enemies Bart thinks about while trying to figure out who is trying to get him. The others are Principal Skinner and Jar Jar Binks.
  • While sitting in a dumpster (in order to spy on the bullies and report back to Bart), Milhouse mentions that all his parents' wedding pictures are in the dumpster. This is a reference to the episode "A Milhouse Divided".
  • Patty is seen carrying Jub-Jub.

Goofs

Martha Prince can be seen in the studio audience with red hair, instead of her usual blue.
