Trivia

- According to Marge, Bart "still sits in the driveway and pretends to drive the car".
- Brandine Spuckler was 13 when she married Cletus and she had already been divorced four times before that, and his father. However, this is probably a criticising reference to yokels marrying over and over again.
- The animal sound tape Lisa played for Bart said "Tress MacNeille" on the cover and when Homer is entering the killing floor of the slaughterhouse he hears a voice say "You are now entering the killing floor", Homer then comments "Hmm, that sounds like Tress MacNeille". Tress MacNeille is a voice actress on the show who voices lots of extra-characters as well as some recurring characters such as Dolph, Agnes Skinner and Mona Simpson.
- Homer seems to have gotten over his fear of sock puppets.
- This is the second episode where Bart makes a meaningful reference to one of his catchphrases. The first was "The Father, the Son and the Holy Guest Star".
