Cultural references

• The episode title is a reference to the slang term MILF.
• During the couch gag, the couch reads a newspaper with the headline "OTTOMAN EMPIRE COLLAPSES", a pun on "Ottoman" referring to its being both a past empire and a piece of furniture.
• West Side Story: When Bart challenges the fifth grade to a rumble, Milhouse says it'll be just like "that movie where the Jets fought the Sharks."
• The fight in the teachers' lounge parodies the typical "saloon fight" scene, a staple of many old Western movies.
• In Bart's dream, he parodies Superman, taking the asteroid dodgeball and throwing it back at the alien spacecraft.
