Cultural references

  • When Martin and Lisa discuss the hardships the pioneers endured, Lisa mentions the Donner Party's having had to resort to cannibalism in order to survive.
  • When Bart and Milhouse pooh-pooh Lisa's mention of the Donner Party, Lisa tells Martin to ignore them, as "They think that 'The Old West' is an actor who played Batman on TV", a reference to Adam West.
  • Martin tells Lisa not to stoop to the level of the Philistines. In the Bible, the Philistines were the most prominent enemy of the nation of Israel, but Martin is using "Philistine" in its modern sense, a term for an uncultured person.
  • After Bart and Milhouse get lost, they get hungry and Bart recalls other accounts of cannibalism, including "those rugby players whose plane crashed in the Andes".
