Cultural references

• The title is a parody of Beverly Hills 90210.
• Alaska Nebraska is an obvious parody of Hannah Montana.
  • The plot of everyone at Waverly Hills Elementary School believing that Lisa is best friends with Alaska Nebraska, but that she kept it secret for Alaska's sake, is based on the TV show Hannah Montana. In the show, the character Lilly Truscott is best friends with the titular character, but keeps this fact a secret from everyone at school for the sake of the latter character's privacy.
• Waverly Hills is a parody of Beverly Hills.
• The city inspector is based on Anton Chigurh, a character from the 2007 film No Country for Old Men who was played by Javier Bardem. Like Chigurh, the inspector often flips a coin, calls people "friendo," and uses a bolt pistol to blow away door locks.
• The song, "Waverly Hills", played during the first introduction of Waverly Hills and during the credits is a parody of "Beverly Hills" by Weezer.
• While Homer is on the Xbox, it appears that he is playing Halo and is "teabagging"
• "Science Water", the water Marge drinks, is an obvious parody of "Vitamin Water".
• The scene where Ms. Hoover abuses her tenure and has Ralph teach the class is used in the movie "Waiting for Superman".
• Marge says the lowercase letters of the Sciencewater bottle makes it seem like she's "drinking e.e. Cummings," referring to how first letters of the poet's name are always in lowercase.

Trivia

• Ralph's party is the third party Bart's been to (first Martin's in "Grade School Confidential" and second Nelson's in "The Haw-Hawed Couple").
• The person rolling Lisa into Alaska Nebraska's dressing room is the Squeaky-voiced teen.
• In this episode, Homer has a Wii and an Xbox.
• One of the pieces of art on the walls of Homer and Marge's "first apartment" is apparently a painting by Piet Mondrian.
• During the scene where Homer and Marge enter the party, a poster for the Beatles album Abbey Road is on the wall.

Goofs

• Ralph goes into the locker after Lisa comments on his smarts, but the locker has the lock locked, although it could have been set.
• When Ralph says "Class, in what year was 1+1?", his seat is empty. Right after the scene, there's a kid in his chair.
