Lisa the Beauty Queen/References

Goofs

• When the man tosses the little girl up out of screen shot in the TV commercial, she never comes back down.

Trivia

• This episode has been used in England by the Anglican Church to give kids lessons in self-esteem, as well as pointing out Homer's sale of the Duff beer ticket, marking a sacrfice on his part as Lisa's self-worth was more value to him than his pleasure.
• Lisa ripping off her dress to reveal a leotard underneath was a similar act performed by Tina Turner.
• When Lisa is announced as Little Miss Springfield, Marge is standing beside Lisa with a somber look on her face and wearing a pink Chanel dress and a pillbox hat. This was in reference to Jacqueline Kennedy standing beside Lyndon Johnson on Air Force One during the emergency inauguration of 1963, immediately following the death of President Kennedy.
• The rioting soldiers at Fort Springfield who are angered at seeing Little Miss Springfield instead of Miss Springfield as they were expecting, storm the stage, causing Lisa and Bob Hope to escape via helicopter. This is akin to the Playboy Playmate scene in Apocalypse Now.
