This is an automated note from ListGenBot. This bot manages the text on a list on this page, the source data for which comes from other pages.

However, it appears that someone's made an edit to the list on this page which has been overwritten by ListGenBot. The lines of overwritten text appear below. This may be misinterpretation by ListGenBot (it's not very clever) so needs evaluating - it can be caused by a line being changed on a source page.

  • The Flintstones – Lisa's line, "If cartoons were meant for adults, they'd put them on in prime time," is a stab at The Simpsons' predecessors-in-kind.
  • The Day the Music Died – The Channel 5 pre-trial report, "The Day the Laughter Died," is a play on the common phrase, referring to the plane crash that killed rock stars Ritchie Valens, Buddy Holly and The Big Bopper.
  • Time and Newsweek - Krusty is shown on the cover of Timely and Newsweekly magazines.
  • Scooby Doo – Sideshow Bob's line, "And I would've gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for these meddling kids," is akin to what the villain says when caught at the end of every "Scooby Doo" episode.
  • "Patricia" - Homer hums the song, made famous by Cuban bandleader Perez Prado.
  • The music for the camping scenes is similar to the music from The Sound of Music. The actual tune is called "The Happy Wanderer".
  • When Bart wakes up, he says "Top of the world, ma!", refering to the final scene of White Heat.

  • Ironically, Nelson doesn't say "Haw Haw!" at all in his first episode, and didn't use it until "Three Men and a Comic Book" in Season 2.
  • In the Czech-dubbed version Herman is portrayed as a Neo-Nazist, greeting Bart with the words "Sieg Heil, meine Junge" and claiming that he lost his arm while hailing from a bus.
  • Homer pens his suicide note on "Dumb Things I Gotta Do Today" stationery.
  • In the scene where Homer and another man are making the announcement to everyone, if you look very carefully you can see a man in the background who looks like Brad Goodman from season 5 episode "Bart's Inner Child".
  • Occasionally, this episode is called "Jacques to Be Wild". When the episode was originally planned, it called for Albert Brooks to voice "Björn" (a parody to Björn Borg), a Swedish tennis instructor, but Matt Groening thought it would be better to make Brooks' character French. The title was, therefore, originally "Bjorn to Be Wild".
  • Jacques appears again in The Simpson's 7th Season episode "Team Homer" and makes a brief cameo as a bowler in the past in "And Maggie Makes Three" He also appears in the "Do the Bartman" music video dancing with various women.
  • At one point, creator Matt Groening cited this as his favourite episode (to the surprise of many fans).
  • Dr Marvin Monroe's Therapy Hotline number is 555-PAIN.
  • When Dr. Marvin Monroe says "I'm as sure as my voice is annoying.", this is referencing how difficult and annoying it was for Harry Shearer to provide Monroe's voice. As commented on audio commentaries in both the first and third season DVD sets, this is much of the reason that Marvin Monroe seldom appeared in the series, and partly why he was killed off in season 6.
  • Signs at Bob's RV-Roundup (formely RVs R Us): "We give credit to everyone!"; "Bad Credit. Good!"; "Bankruptcy Shmankruptcy."
  • This is the first episode in which Rod Flanders appears.
  • The number of Bart's flight back to the USA is 1988 (mille neuf cent quatre vingts huit).
  • This is one of five Simpsons episodes to display the episode title on the screen. The others are "Bart Gets Hit by a Car", "22 Short Films About Springfield", "The Simpsons Spin-Off Showcase" and "The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular".
  • The Season 1 DVD boxset is missing two scenes from the episode: one where Bart told the crowd that, after decapitating the town statue, he realized he was taking his heritage for granted (an issue that would later resurface in Season 7's "Lisa the Iconoclast"), and another with church bells ringing. It is rumoured that these scenes, which add up to 28 seconds, were added to comply with an FCC regulation that all cartoons must include this length of educational content.
  • This was the first episode seen in Australia on Channel 10 in 1991. [citation needed]
  • This episode appears in Die Hard 2.
