The Otto Show |
|
Trivia[]
- In this episode we learn Otto's last name is 'Mann' as you see it on his new bus-driver license at the end. Originally, his last name was supposed to be "Mechanic," but the writers thought the joke was too predictable.
- Milhouse says he bought his jacket with 50,000 Bazooka Joe Comics, a cartoon strips that was originally found in Bazooka chewing gum wrappers.
- Michael McKean (who, like Harry Shearer, was once a Saturday Night Live cast member) would later guest star in the episode "Monty Can't Buy Me Love" as Jerry Rude.
- When Bart gives up the guitar due to its difficulty, Homer suggests he put it in his closet next to his short wave radio (a reference to "Radio Bart"), his karate outfit (a reference to "When Flanders Failed"), and his unicycle (not a reference to any previous episode, though Bart would later ride a unicycle in "I, (Annoyed Grunt)-Bot").
- Otto later gets suspended from driving the school bus in "The Mook, the Chef, the Wife and Her Homer".
- Otto's response, "The Admiral and I don't get along." to the question about why not stay with his parents was a reference to the rift between musician Jim Morrison and his father who was a rear admiral in the U.S. Navy during the Vietnam War.
Goofs[]
- Comic Book Guy's beard is colored brown instead of the same color as his skin.
- Bart's guitar is left-handed when he is learning how to play it, yet Otto plays it perfectly on the bus despite being right-handed. Later, when Otto is playing guitar with Bart in the garage, the guitar switches to a right-handed model, all in the same scene. We can only assume that Otto is good enough to play both left-handed and right-handed, and does so to stay in practice. Also there have been real-life left-handed guitarists, most notably Jimi Hendrix, whom Otto is partially based on, who simply played right-handed guitars upside down.
- During the scene where Nelson is mocking Bart while waiting for the bus his vest and shirt switch colors when he says "Polly wolly crappy".
- When Otto crashes into the street sign at the end and bends it, it is seen straight in the next shot.
- Ralph's shirt is orange in this episode.
- During the bus scene Sherri and Terri's hair and dress colors are switched.
- Homer tells Bart and Milhouse he’ll wait in the backseat of his car while they’re at the concert, but he’s sitting in the front seat.
- In one brief shot of Otto playing the guitar on the bus, he is shown with five fingers.
