Trivia
- When Dolph serves the "Krusty Gruel" to the kids, he is wearing a hairnet, making it one of the few times both his eyes are visible.
- Bart's remark of "No way would I lend my name to a crummy product" is an ironic one; a likely reference to the Butterfinger commercials Bart has starred in.
- The 1991 fall of the Soviet Union is referenced when the rebelling campers uproot a totem pole of Krusty, parodying rioting Russians tearing down statues of Lenin, Stalin, and other Soviet dictators.
- When Kent Brockman comments that he has reported on Afghanistan and Iraq, he was referring to the 1978 Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and the 1991 U.S. invasion of Iraq (or the Iraq/Iran skirmish), not the current conflicts.
- Contrary to popular belief, Frank Sinatra did not sing the song "South of the Border" during the closing credits. A sound-alike sang the song.
- The episode was inspired by a staff member who worked as a teenager as a counselor in a summer camp and saw exposed live wires and other hazards. The producers said this episode was meant to relate to those who went to summer camps or took jobs in one.
Movie moments
- Lisa bribing a man on horseback with a flask of bourbon to deliver a letter while wearing an outfit similar to Little Red Riding Hood references Meryl Streep bribing a stranger to smuggle a letter in The French Lieutenant's Woman.
- "Camp Bart", the post-overthrow camp, strongly resembles Colonel Kurtz's camp in Apocalypse Now.
