Wild Barts Can't Be Broken/References

Cultural references



 * Milhouse is seen watching the children's TV show Teletubbies (right) before switching to the movie commercial.
 * The Bloodening is based on the horror films Children of the Corn and Children of the Damned.
 * The scene where the kids take the different electronics through the fence parodies scenes from The Little Rascals, including Milhouse dressed as Alfalfa.
 * The scene where people are running out of the movie theater is a clear reference to a scene from The Blob.
 * The song near the end of the episode parodies the song "Kids" from Bye Bye Birdie.
 * Grampa's line, "We're gonna gonna teach you rugrats a lesson," may be a reference to the long-running Nickelodeon animated series Rugrats, but it's also possible that Grampa is using the word in its slang sense, as a pejorative term for children.
 * Otto holding up the stereo above holding is similar to the scene in the film  Say Anything where Lloyd Dobler tries the same thing to win back Diane Court, only Otto was just the town about the screts again.

Trivia

 * If you look carefully in the crowd of adults and kids who were confronted by the group of eldery people, including Abraham Simpson, you can clearly one of the adults can still be out even after the under 70 years of age curfew passes. That person is not other than Charles Montgomery Burns.
 * He's seen during and shortly after the Adults/Kids Songs, but he doesn;t speak to anyone.
 * We learn Bart doesn't like primetime shows
 * In Moes a sign under the TV says "5 drink minimum to look up here."
 * When Skinner is at the drive in Edna is in the passenger seat. When Agnes Skinner and Superintendany Chalmers are revealed though, Edna is nowhere to be seen.

Goofs

 * As odd this may sound, Bart may have a point when he said the cops can't just impose a curfew. The curfew has to be approve by the city council, or whatever Springfield has, meaning Joe Quimby would've likely have to be told beforehand.
