Trivia

• The episode's Dean Peterson doesn't seem to be the same Dean Peterson Homer ran over during a prank in "Homer Goes to College", although the security guards' dialogue implies that he is.
• Homer sings "Aloha 'Oe" two episodes in a row. In "the previous episode" he sings it while undergoing treatment in the electric needle hut. In this episode, he sings it while showing Lisa his animated drawings of Moe doing the hula in a grass skirt (however, this time it's actually "Aloha Moe").
• The episode title could refer to a sports face-off, or 1997 action movie Face/Off.
• The church marquee reads "Life in Hell" a reference to another Matt Groening creation.
• The Exterminator Tent Bart uses was also seen in the episode "Bart Sells His Soul", an episode built similarly on conflicts of faith.
• During the end of the song Testify, there are three close-up shots on Bart. During the second close-up, Bart is wearing his cape but in the next shot, he is not.
