Cultural references[edit]

  • Bart's "Go-Go Ray" gun settings include a variety of fad dances (dances characterized by a short burst of popularity). These include The Jerk, The monkey, The Mashed Potato, The Swim and The Freddie.
  • Barney thinks he has seen Princess Di, but it was only a pile of rags. Rags is a pejorative for tabloid newspapers referring how she was frequently on the covers.
  • When holding Lisa's project, Bart imitates Curly Howard's expression "Nyuk-nyuk-nyuk!" from The Three Stooges.
    • Bart imitates Curly again when he is slapping his face when trying to get the cupcake.
  • The Duff Brewery tour guide mentions CNN.
  • In the 1950s, Duff was the sponsor of The Amos 'n Andy Show. This is a reference to the Blatz Brewing Company which sponsored The Amos 'n Andy Show from June 1951 to April 1953. Under the pressure for a formal protest on how the show prejudiced black people in the USA, Blatz discontinued its advertising support and the show was canceled.
Bart is seated and strokes his hamster, just like Blofeld strokes his cat in the James Bond films

Trivia[edit]

Two Larrys
  • During the tour of the Duff Brewery, the three vats are marked "Duff", "Duff Light", "Duff Dry". The vats are filled by the same pipe, indicating different names for exactly the same product. This may be reference to a urban legend that some gas stations hooked up their regular, plus, and super unleaded to the same tank, charging more money for customers who bought plus or super while getting the same product.
  • In the syndicated version, both Martin Prince and Nelson Muntz's exhibits at the Science Fair were removed. Martin had a flying balloon which was deflated from a B.B. Gun shot by Nelson from his B.B. Gun exhibit, which he states that he was aiming for Martin's head. In the DVD release, this scene was left in uncut.
  • Homer has a portable radio with him in the stands to explain how he is hearing the dull running commentary.
  • "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head" was sung by Kipp Lennon for the episode.

Continuity[edit]

Goofs[edit]

  • In a scene at Moe's Tavern, there are two Larrys unless Larry has an identical twin brother.
