Trivia

• In this episode, Bart and Milhouse are seen watching an episode of South Park, in which Stan, Kyle, and Cartman are attending a concert with a murderous O.J. Simpson. This was in response to a South Park episode entitled, "Simpsons Already Did It", in which Butters finds that all of his original ideas were previously used on The Simpsons, and is subsequently driven insane. The episode references many specific Simpsons episodes, scenarios, and characters.
• Marge is holding the Québec flag along with the Canadian flag when they are singing "O Canada". This is a reference to how the French-Canadian province for years now have wanted to become an independent nation.

Cultural references

• The title is a reference to The Art of War by Sun Tzu.
• "The Calvary Kids' (actually the Pre-Teen Braves') Version of the National Anthem" is a parody of "The Star-Spangled Banner".
