Cultural References
- The sniper on the roof of the building across from the plaza does take the shot at Lisa, but misses when she moves her head and the shot lands in the floor behind her, just like the sniper shot aimed at Charles de Gaulle at the end of The Day of the Jackal.
Trivia
- The flag in Miss Hoover's classroom has 25 stars and 15 stripes.
Notes
- The words "cromulent" and "embiggen" were both coined by the writers of this episode. Although completely made up, these words have since taken on a life of their own via the Internet and other media. "Cromulent" has also appeared in the Webster's New Millennium Dictionary of English.
- Ironically Donald Sutherland played the character Homer Simpson in the 1975 film "The Day of the Locust".
- "Hollis" and "Hurlbut" are freshman dormitories at Harvard.
