Trivia[]

  • The title of this episode references the 1991 film Boyz n the Hood as well as the song by the rapper Eazy-E in the mid 1980s.
  • The large queue at the arcade is for a Terminator game.
  • The song "Springfield, Springfield" is adapted from the song "New York, New York" in the 1944 Broadway musical On The Town.
  • On his sash, Bart has badges for: Archery, Debt Collecting, Embalming, TV Trivia, and Patch Forgery.
  • The fourth wall is broken when Bart, Lisa, and Homer are watching TV when Lisa tells Bart that television does not have to be 100% accurate. A second Homer then walks past the window.
  • Ms. Botz and Fat Tony appear on wanted posters in Chief Wiggum's office.
  • At the end when Ernest Borgnine and the children are sitting around singing "Bingo", a presence attacks Ernest. This is a reference to the Friday the 13th film series about the serial killer Jason Voorhees who lives at an abandoned camp called Crystal Lake.
  • The abandoned camp at the end of the episode resembles Kamp Krusty.
  • Ernest Borgnine is the only remaining adult with the children at the end of the episode.
  • Hans Moleman says "You call that a knife? This is a knife!", to which he pulls out what appears to be a machete. This makes a reference to Crocodile Dundee, in which the main character says the same quotes and pulls out a Bowie knife. This is also referenced in "Bart vs. Australia".
  • Doctor Hibbert operates on an appendix without anesthesia and sewing a wound which would result in a lawsuit, maybe even death.
  • "Dueling Banjos," the banjo melody which is heard during the jungle scene, as well as the rustlers whose silhouettes are seen sneaking through the bushes are references to the movie Deliverance.
  • Bart is able to dig a hole into the asphalt.
  • Homer Simpson was singing "Sugar, Sugar" by the Archies while dancing with the candies until the music and himself slowed down and the candies melted. The song would later be heard in "Sweets and Sour Marge".
  • When Homer smells the scent of Krusty Burger when stranded on the boat with Flanders, Rod, Todd and Bart, he pulls out a map with the locations of Krusty Burger around North America. He points to the southeast coast of the country that displays an offshore oil rig. This could indicate roughly the area in which Springfield is located. Judging from opinions on the proposed location of Springfield, it could very well be Michigan even though it is quite far from the southeast coast.
  • Nelson calls Bart Sergeant Dork. This is a reference to the movie Sergeant York.

Goofs[]

  • When Bart and Milhouse first go the Kwik-E-Mart for the Squishee, the two flavors are red and purple. When Apu goes to pour the Squishee, they are now both purple, and when he is done, the two colors are purple and green, the latter of which is the color of the Squishee.
    • Besides, before the Squishee is done, one can see Apu was pulling the lever for the purple Squishee, but the final product is green Squishee.
  • When Milhouse takes the first sip of the Squishee, his glasses fly off his face when he rapidly tilts his head backwards. When it cuts back to him after Bart takes a sip, his glasses are back on. Considering he was holding each side of his head, he may have grabbed his glasses and put them back on in between shots, but considering how far they are implied to have flown, he would not have enough time to do this. Furthermore, the glasses should be broken from the impact of the fall, since they most likely landed on solid ground, yet they appear perfectly undamaged.
  • The sailor who is looking for New York has the skin above his shirt collar briefly turn white like his clothes.
  • The Krusty Burger Fun Map Homer used after he lost the navigation map misspelled Oregon as “Oragon.”
  • When Ned explains that seagulls only go out to sea to die, Homer's beard briefly turns yellow like his skin.
  • When Homer is slapping Ned, the skin under Ned's hair as seen from behind isn't colored in for a frame.
