Cultural references

  • Plan 9 Comics is clearly a reference to the infamous movie Plan 9 from Outer Space, popularly believed to be the worst movie ever made.
  • When Comic Book Guy is demonstrating the soda-resistant properties of Radioactive Man #1000, the "lesser comics" to which he refers appear to be issues of the comic that started the career of Simpsons creator Matt Groening, Life in Hell (as evidenced by Binky, the star of Life in Hell, standing on a stage on the cover). The logo of Matt Groening's comic book publishing company, Bongo Comics, can be seen at the head of the cover, in place of a title, despite the fact that Life in Hell has never been published by Bongo Comics. This could suggest that the "lesser comics" line actually refers to all of Groening's comics.
  • The name of the comic book hero, "Biclops," is a pun on the name of the character.

Trivia

  • During the video "Secret Nuclear Defense Plan U.S. Govt. Film #1612," a map is clearly shown that strongly resembles that of Springfield, Massachusetts, most notably by the large river running through the town intending to represent the Connecticut River. However, it is shown in other episodes that the Springfield of The Simpsons is not in Massachusetts.
  • Title of this episode is a nod to Comic Book Guy's popular catchphrase.
  • The people on the Banned for Life wall along with Bart and Milhouse are: Nelson Muntz, Sideshow Bob (odd, considering that Sideshow Bob isn't the type that reads comic books), and a bearded man who looks like Simpsons show creator Matt Groening.

Goofs

  • In some scenes where the picture Comic Book Guy took of Bart and Milhouse for the "Banned for Life" section appears Milhouse's shirt is red.
