Note, the bot needs improvement if we're going to use this alphabetical section since it's sorting the sub-list on one of the pages alphabetically - but it probably doesn't make sense to sort the trivia anyway.

  • This is the last episode in which Phil Hartman appears, as Troy McClure. Hartman was murdered earlier in 1998, and so the producers dedicated this episode to him.
  • The "Bolivian tree lizard" is a fictional species. However, its behavior mirrors the habits of the cuckoo (though the cuckoo does not eat its host).
  • One of this episode's guest stars is George Carlin. In a previous episode, Krusty the Clown is told he's being sued by Carlin for plagiarizing "The Seven Words You Can't Say on Television."
  • While Ned Flanders is driving, he has a hallucination where he sees the Grateful Dead Dancing Bears: Melody and Verse with the Skeleton who says "Mornin' Ned". They are followed by the Marching Hammers from Pink Floyd's The Wall marching down the road and The Rolling Stones' "Lips & Tongue" which ask him to "Pucker up Ned". Series creator Matt Groening has admitted to being a huge Dead, Floyd and Stones fan.
  • Seth and Munchie bear striking resemblances to George Carlin and Martin Mull.
  • Both the plot and subplot are referenced in the episode title.
  • Alex is seen again in many more episodes as a student at Springfield Elementary.
  • Lisa claims Alex drinks "Iced Tea", although in the episode "Simple Simpson", Lisa tells Homer that she left her iced tea in the basement.
  • The title "Lisa Gets an A" parodies the title of the second-season opener of the show, "Bart Gets an F", as does another second-season title, "Bart's Dog Gets an F".
  • In this episode it is revealed that the school was called the worst school in Missouri, supposedly revealing which state Springfield is in, causing Lisa and Principal Skinner to react in astonishment at the fact that the location has been revealed, but immediately afterward it is said that the school was moved "brick by brick" to its current, still unknown, location.
  • The trucker CB code list consists of:
    • (10-33) Actual bear in air.
    • (10-34) Can't unchain wallet.
    • (10-35) Hot enough for ya?
    • (10-36) Ghost truck on highway.
    • (10-37) Ask me about my grandchildren.
    • (10-38) Outsider blabbing about auto-drive system.
    • (10-39) I love you gay buddy.
    • (10-40) Taxes due.
  • Mayor Quimby's bodyguard's names are Ernie and Big Tom.
  • To date, this is the last episode of The Simpsons to be animated overseas by Anivision.
  • Though obviously not canonical, this episode is never rectified with the rest of the series, which continues on even though the world is shown to be ending here.
  • Answering (though not necessarily correctly) one theological question, Adam and Eve are shown with navels.
  • In the first segment Ned Flanders played the part of God, as if in opposition to Treehouse of Horror IV, where he was the Devil.
  • The song playing over the end credits is Highway to Hell by AC/DC.
  • This episode was animated long before anyone knew who would go to Super Bowl XXXIII. The producers emphasized this by the deliberately obvious audio splicing in Moe's Tavern, and the awkward way the men held the beer mugs in front of their mouths (so you couldn't read their lips).
  • This episode took place around the time of the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal. This is referenced in the audio splicing in the bar, "I hear President Clinton (muffled) is going to be there with his wife Hillary, the producers suggesting that they did not know who would be in office when the episode aired.
  • It also referenced in Al Gore measuring up the Oval office curtains when Homer hangs up on President Clinton's congratulatory phone call.
  • On the tour of the post office, Nelson asks Postmaster Bill "Ever been on a killing spree?". This alludes to the act of going postal.
  • The song that is played while Homer waits for his car is the popular "Spanish Flea" by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass. Coincidentally, Julius Wechter, who wrote that tune, died the next day when the episode first aired.
  • The coach in Homer's fantasy about going to the Super Bowl bears a striking similarity to long-time Dallas Cowboys coach Tom Landry.
  • The show features a deliberate obfuscation of the location of Springfield. When Marge is on the phone with the Vincent Price's Egg Magic people, she is instructed to leave her address in order to get feet that were advertised on the box as being included but had been left out. Marge says the beginning of the address but when she gets to the city and state, Maude walks into view causing Marge to say, "Springfield...Oh, Hi ya, Maude!" (Obviously meant to sound like "Ohio".)
  • The people Homer brings to the Super Bowl are:
  • Bart
  • Comic Book Guy
  • Bumblebee Man
  • Ned Flanders
  • Lenny
  • Carl
  • Moe
  • Barney
  • Apu
  • Squeaky Voiced Teen
  • Reverend Lovejoy
  • Krusty the Clown
  • Dr. Nick Riviera
  • Sideshow Mel
  • Jasper
  • Kirk Van Houten
  • Dr. Hibbert
  • Captain McCallister
  • The blue haired lawyer
  • Charlie
  • Chief Wiggum
  • Principal Seymour Skinner
  • Crazy Old Man
  • The episode claims that the extra four digits in ZIP codes are used as "citizen relocation codes".
  • The song that plays while Homer and the guys run through the stadium is "Song 2" by Blur
  • Although a Japanese-dub of The Simpsons has been produced for many years, this episode has never aired in Japan. According to the DVD commentary for "Mr. Lisa Goes to Washington", this episode didn't air in Japan because of the scene where Homer hurls the Emperor of Japan into a pile of used "sumo thongs."
  • In the Japanese version of the series, Homer usually says "D'oh" as opposed to the phrase heard in this episode, (shimatta-baka-ni or damn it stupid!) but when the subtitle is shown it reads D'oh.
  • The origami crane scene with the "last million yen" makes the value of a million yen look trivial, but in reality one million yen are worth approximately 8 to 9 thousand U.S. Dollars, depending on the current exchange rate.
  • After Battling Seizure Robots goes to commercial a brief photo of the reporter interviewing the 2 headed cow from In Marge We Trust appears.
  • The haiku Lisa reads isn't in traditional Japanese form of 5-7-5 syllables.
  • Ed McMahon's appearance was very surprising: the writers originally got Troy McClure to host World's Deadliest Executions, but the scene had to be re-done after Phil Hartman died. This would have been Hartman's last appearance on the show, and it would have been retained if not for the dark subject matter in relation to his recent murder.
  • Regis Philbin and Kathie Lee Gifford appeared as live-action guests as themselves in this episode, a Simpsons first, and the second time live-action has been used in a Simpsons episode. The first time was at the end of Treehouse of Horror VI.
  • In 'The Terror of Tiny Toon', Poochie makes a brief appearance, once again voiced by Homer, until he is run over by Itchy and Scratchy who are fighting with Bart and Lisa.
  • Alien-Maggie reappears in Treehouse of Horror X.
  • Robert Englund and Kane Hodder supply the voices of "Freddy" and "Jason" in the opening sequence.
  • First appearance of the Vegas wives: Amber and Ginger.
  • Homer correctly states Adolf Hitler's birthday as April 20 and identifies it with Barney's which is the same day in the scene where Flanders and Homer are at the roulette table. Because the Columbine High School massacre was intentionally executed on that date, the line was changed in several rebroadcast versions to June 15, same as Lassie's (the line about Lassie's birthday was in the closed captions of the original version and the syndicated versions). The syndicated versions have the original line about Hitler's birthday.
  • Ned's age is revealed to be 60. However, in "Hurricane Neddy", he is seen in a flashback from thirty years ago, when he was still a kid.
  • The episode "Jazzy and the Pussycats" would reveal that Homer's Las Vegas wife, Amber, had died after overdosing while riding a rollercoaster. Thus, a funeral was held for her at the beginning of the episode.

  • Homer: (to Marge) "Who am I? Kreskin?" When Marge is puzzling about what Bart might be doing in his tree-house she asks Homer what he thinks, and in a very short quip he mentions Kreskin. George Kresge, better known as "The Amazing Kreskin," (b. January 12, 1935 in Montclair, New Jersey) is a mentalist, popular on North American television in the 1970s and still busy as a live performer. He appears annually on New Years Day on CNN to give his predictions for the upcoming year. Perhaps his best known trick is finding the check for his performance fee, which he instructs his hosts to hide before each show. He has only failed to find the check nine times.
  • Nelson (to Bart): "You're an octowussy!" This is a pun on the title of the 1983 James Bond movie Octopussy.
  • The episode's title and basic plot – Bart killing a mother bird with his BB gun – are taken from the classic Andy Griffith Show episode "Opie the Birdman" (wherein Opie adopts three baby birds after he kills their mother with a slingshot).
  • Inside the arcade of the Family Fun Center, there is a game called "Pack-Rat Returns"; a reference to the arcade game "Peter Packrat".
  • When Nelson goes inside to cook lunch on a frying pan after Bart kills the bird, he is seen humming the theme song to the show itself.
  • Hospital intercom System: "Doc Martens to Podiatry"
  • "Doc Martens" is a famous shoe brand. A doctor of the same name works in the podiatry department of the Springfield Hospital. Podiatry, a branch of medicine dealing with the foot, would be a fitting match for a doctor named after a shoe.
  • The first scene parodies the 1973 film Westworld.
  • When Homer is trying read a liability form that requires his signature, the nurse says "Don't read it, sign it" in the same way that the prison guard says this to Alex in the 1971 film A Clockwork Orange.
  • Homer Simpson chief's cry: "Simp-SON!!!" is very similar to Mr. Spacely's cry "Jet-SON!!!" from the Jetsons.
  • Homer sings the Max Power theme to the tune of the theme song from the 1964 film Goldfinger.
  • The name Homer picks out for Marge, "Chesty LaRue," was also a name used for Elaine by Jerry on Seinfeld when a button on her shirt fell off, exposing cleavage.
  • The title itself refers to the dance show Lord of the Dance.
  • Alex tells Lisa not to be a "Phoebe". Guest star Lisa Kudrow is best known for her role as Phoebe Buffay on Friends. She also tells Lisa that she loves her name.
  • "Dash Dingo", the video game Lisa becomes addicted to, is a parody of Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back. The music that plays when the game starts is exactly like the music when the Crash game starts. Also, the evil floating Australian head is a parody of the Crash games' villain, Doctor Neo Cortex. The game also revolves around finding and devouring "seven crystal babies", referencing the Azaria Chamberlain disappearance and the Chaos Emeralds from the Sonic the Hedgehog series (Dash Dingo needs the same number of crystal babies as there are Chaos Emeralds).
  • Homer: (shopping for ice cream) "Cherry Garcia? Honey Bono? Desmond Tutti Frutti?"
    The ice cream flavors are named after Jerry Garcia (the Grateful Dead's lead singer), Sonny Bono (of Sonny and Cher) and Archbishop Desmond Tutu (South African anti-apartheid activist and Nobel Prize Winner). There's also a flavor called Milli Vanilla, a reference to Milli Vanilli, the infamous musicians who had to give up their Grammy Award after it was revealed that someone else sang their songs and all the duo did was lip sync. Cherry Garcia is an allusion to Ben & Jerry's, an ice cream company that gives their ice cream flavors amusing names, like Cherry Garcia. Lisa also mentions flavors called Candy Warhol, Xavier Nougat, and Sherbert Hoover, respectively named after Andy Warhol, Xavier Cugat, and Herbert Hoover.
  • Nelson: "Well la-di-da, Lady Cheaterly."
    This is a reference to the D. H. Lawrence novel Lady Chatterley's Lover.
  • At one point in the episode, Ralph refers to Superintendent Chalmers as "Super Nintendo Chalmers."
  • The title puns on the classic TV show, Make Room for Daddy.
  • Homer sings Witch Doctor while in the tank, an American number one single by David Seville in 1958. However, by the time the episode premiered in the UK (April 25, 1999) a cover version by the Cartoons was in the top ten of the UK Singles Chart, giving the song an unintended sense of topicality.
  • When Homer introduces Lisa to her new room and roommate - Bart, he hums the theme from The Odd Couple, a TV series from the 1970s, based on a play by Neil Simon.
  • Lisa saying the line "Get your stinky paw off me!" parodies the classic line from the 1968 film Planet of the Apes.
  • The episode pays homage to The X-Files episode "Triangle", with Homer falling asleep at work and waking up to music suspiciously like the swing music from "Triangle" and a voice on the radio saying that it is 1939.
  • At the Springfield Elementary School talent show:
  • Dateline NBC – The scene where Marge's SUV rolls over and the gas tank explodes, and her remarks afterward, refers to an ill-fated 1992 "Dateline NBC" investigative report about the gas tank crashworthiness of 1973-1991 Chevrolet and GMC full-sized pickup trucks.
  • Peanuts - When a ranger at the zoo tries to shoot a rhinoceros with a tranquilizer dart, the dart bounces off the rhino's skin, then off Homer's rear, and hits a sloth. The sloth dances like Snoopy for a few seconds before passing out.
  • Screaming Yellow Zonkers – The episode title is a play on the popcorn snack (as well as a double-entendre, given the pigmentation of people in the world of the Simpsons).
  • Sport utility vehicles – The episode lampoons the then recent SUV craze, and increases in road rage. Also spoofed are vehicles marketed toward female demographics, whether a specific model (e.g., the Dodge La Femme of the mid-1950s) or a model package (the Fashion Accessory Group offered on the 1978 Ford Mustang).
  • Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom – The name of the zoo, Wild Animal Kingdom, is inspired by the 1960s nature series.
  • The Gods Must Be Crazy – The "fact" that a rhino will instinctively try to put out a fire stems from this movie.
  • The title is a pun on the Beatles' song Can't Buy Me Love, whose refrain is "Money can't buy me love". A cover of the song appeared in the previous episode.
  • The antiques appraisal TV show "Cash In Your Legacy" is a parody of Antiques Roadshow.
  • When the family visits the new MegaStore, Bart asks Homer for money. Homer then hands Bart, Lisa and Marge money much like in the intro of Married... with Children where Al hands money to Bud (his son), Kelly (his daughter), Peg (his wife), and Buck (the family dog).
  • Mr. Burns's press conference falling apart when all of the flashbulbs go off is reminiscent of King Kong.
  • Bart derailing the train with a penny and having the penny smooshed flat is a reference to Nightmares & Dreamscapes by Stephen King. In the introduction to the book, King talks about lies his friends told him as a child, among which were; a penny getting hit by a train would be flattened, and another telling him it would de-rail the train, leading him to the conclusion that it did both.
  • There are many instances which parody the 1975 movie One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest:
    • A Native American character, 'Chief' smashes a window to escape using a heavy object which was part of a water dispenser (even though the door was open).
    • Bart takes the members of the old folks home out on a boat trip as a break from their tedious routine.
    • The old folks home has a "medication time".
    • The primary nurse in the old folks home resembles the character Nurse Ratched from said film.
  • This is one of three title puns on The Old Man and the Sea; the two other are The Old Man and the Lisa and The Old Man and the Key.
  • Aboard the Gone Fission II, Smithers is seen drawing Mr. Burns naked, reclining on a chaise longue, but Burns is seen dressed. This is a parody of the scene in Titanic where Jack Dawson draws Rose DeWitt Bukater nude.
  • The seniors at the retirement castle watch a seniors-edited (and redubbed) version of Gone with the Wind.The movie was almost sixty years old when this episode aired.
  • The scene where Bart frees the seniors and they "frolic" outside of the home is a parody of The Beatles' movie A Hard Day's Night.
  • When Homer is reading about Edison at the library, one of the books on the table is called A Child's Garden Of Edison. This is a parody on A Child's Garden of Verses, a book of poetry by Robert Louis Stevenson.
  • The title is a take on Thomas Edison's nickname "The Wizard of Menlo Park," which was his home.
  • The electric hammer that Homer invents is very similar to one invented by the father in the 1984 film Gremlins. The character in the film also had a reputation for inventions that either didn't work, or only worked for a couple of weeks.
  • At Homer's imagined funeral are President Lenny, Bishop Flanders, and multiple-Oscar-winner Barney Gumble, and the Robot from Lost in Space and, inexplicably, Heckle and Jeckle.
  • The game show which the Simpsons take part in to win tickets back home is an extremely over the top parody of Japanese gameshows. Although not even close to being as brutal as depicted in this episode, Japanese gameshows are notorious for being very unusual, some demanding a lot of awkward physical activity from its participants. Of partial note is the passing resemblance of the bridge over the volcano to the Takeshi's Castle game bridge ball
  • In the scene at Moe's Tavern, when Barney is impersonating Homer, one of the phrases he says is "That boy ain't right!" This is a phrase Hank Hill often said on King of the Hill to describe his son, Bobby.
  • The episode's title is a reference to a song by Pere Ubu called "30 Seconds Over Tokyo" or to the 1944 film Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo. Both the film and the song are based on the quick US bombardments on Tokyo during World War II, called Doolittle Raid.
  • The fish that Bart kills during his job in Osaka is a reference to the fable The Fisherman and His Wife.
  • Americatown features pictures of the Kool-Aid Man, Uncle Sam, and Elvis Presley on the sign. It's decorated with other pictures of a star, a gun, a pie, a guitar, a baseball bat, and a baseball. Inside animatronic figures are seen: E.T. seems to be pointing up Marilyn Monroe's flying skirt, Abraham Lincoln dances with the Statue of Liberty, and Muhammad Ali fighting Neil Armstrong.
  • When Marge says to Homer on the plane that she liked Rashomon by Akira Kurosawa, Homer claims he doesn't remember it that way. The underlying joke is that this famous film is about people remembering different things about the same event.
  • The Battling Seizure Robots is a reference to the Pokémon episode Dennō Senshi Porygon. The flashing lights (caused by an exploding rockets attack) during that episode caused seizures throughout Japan, resulted in the brief hospitalization of hundreds of children, especially those with epilepsy. The episode was later banned, though nowadays, most countries often include a warning about some TV programmes containing flashing images that might affect epileptic viewers.
  • The square watermelon Homer buys is a reference to the real ones that exist in Japan.
  • One of the lights (seatbelt, smoking) on the plane is Godzilla and lights when he attacks.
  • Lisa spots the Hello Kitty factory.
  • Chuck Garabedian is a real name of a talk show host in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
  • "Hell Toupée" is loosely based on the Wes Craven film Shocker, as well as the Amazing Stories episode also called "Hell Toupée." The ending, spoofing the horror convention of the ever-undying villain, specifically parodies the end of the 1988 film Child's Play, about a doll, Chucky, inhabited by the soul of a serial killer, plus that take its ending. Also, the plot's aspect of an innocent patient having serial killer parts transplanted onto them is very similar to 1991's Body Parts, directed by Eric Red.
  • Some of the plot from "The Terror of Tiny Toon" is similar to the 1998 movie Pleasantville as well as from segment #3 of "Twilight Zone - The Movie", which was the same segment that contained Nancy Cartwright (the voice of Bart Simpson) getting trapped and killed in a TV cartoon. Also the Dark Comedy "Stay Tuned" and the sixth film of the "A Nightmare on Elm Street" series have cartoon/video game sequences. The title of the episode comes from the 1938 western/comedy movie The Terror of Tiny Town and possibly from the series Tiny Toon Adventures.
  • The title of "Starship Poopers" is a parody of the novel Starship Troopers. Maggie kills Jerry Springer in a similar fashion to Alien.
  • Homer's rant about "appearing in commercials dancing with vacuum cleaners" is a reference to a 1997 TV advertisement that depicted Fred Astaire dancing with a Dirt Devil vacuum cleaner.
  • Homer: "We can't even pay our bills, and they're drinking Royal Crown Cola!" Royal Crown Cola is a cheaper brand than Pepsi or Coke, so Homer is really just being irritated for no good reason.
  • Apu's sandcastle is a very detailed replica of India's famous Taj Mahal.
  • PETA is an animal-rights group whose name stands for People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals. They have several celebrity members.
  • Homer's dream is a spoof of Hanna-Barbera's Yogi Bear. When he falls asleep again he starts thinking he's Magilla Gorilla.
  • Homer angrily addresses Ron Howard as "Potsie" (another Happy Days character) and "Horshack" (a character from Welcome Back, Kotter).
  • The ripples in their water when the crowd of people come is a reference to Jurassic Park.
