The "For Free" column includes cars, things owned by celebrities and even a Learjet
- Things in the "For Free" column include:
- A chandelier owned by Hungarian-American silent film actress Vilma Bánky

- The scene with a field full of injured children from the trampoline is a reference to the field of injured soldiers shot in the film Gone with the Wind.
- When Homer pushes the trampoline off the cliff, it bounces on a pillar of rock right back up, lands on Homer and pushes him down into the overhanging rock ledge: an homage to the Chuck Jones-directed Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner Looney Tunes cartoons. The background and music imitate the desert landscape and music from the cartoons.
- Celebrity Martha Quinn participated on Brad Goodman's TV show.
- Homer is surprised to see surplus drums of mayonnaise from Operation Desert Storm, the coalition's second phase during the Gulf War in 1991.

Trivia
- In this episode, it's shown that Krusty the Clown lives at 534 Center Street.
- In an earlier episode, Moe was shown to be afraid of Principal Skinner (possibly due to his authority), but in this episode, Moe appears to have over come his fear by delivering a hell of a punch to Seymour.
- The word "fuck" (bleeped) is said by Kent Brockman. This became the subject matter of the much later episode, "You Kent Always Say What You Want".
- The seminar in the episode is referenced by a sign on the Springfield Community Center in Level 1 of The Simpsons: Hit & Run.
- In the shot of the trampoline ad, other ads seen include: "Fat boy bomb: call Herman" and "Good new bible FREE!! ask for Ned".
- Among the rioting Springfielders are:
Goofs

- Wendell's hair is yellow instead of its normal white color.
