- The title is a play on the phrase "Revenge is a dish best served cold", which was popularized by Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan[1], although the saying predates that film.

- Bartman faces the Toker (a play on The Joker, portrayed by stoner Otto Mann), the Diddler (a play on the Riddler, actually Ned Flanders), Mr. Mole (Imitating Mr. Freeze who is Hans Moleman), Sugar and Spice (Patty and Selma imitating two of Two-Face's minions), and Lenny as (Poison Ivy) who explains he's not a villain but a transvestite.

Notes
- A level in The Simpsons Game is named Bartman Begins.
