Cultural references[]

  • The couch gag is a reference to the 2013 science fiction thriller film, Gravity.
    • The music played during the couch gag is a big variation of Spiegel Im Spiegel by Arvo Part.
    • The music played during Homer's Gliding scene is Concerto for Lute and Orchestra in D-Major by Antonio Vivaldi.
  • The episode title is reference to "YOLO" which is an acronym for "you only live once". The term itself it mentioned in the episode for several times.
  • The song "You Only Live Twice" by Nancy Sinatra appears in the episode.
  • The fighting scene between Homer and Eduardo Barcelona is a parody to the fight of Captain Kirk and the Gorn from the Star Trek episode "Arena" which is considered as the worst fight scene ever.
  • Homer's childhood hero is June Foray, who voiced Rocky the Flying Squirrel from the TV cartoon series Rocky and His Friends and The Bullwinkle Show and voiced several female Looney Tunes characters (most famously, Granny from the Sylvester and Tweety cartoons [formerly voiced by Bea Benaderet] and Witch Hazel [now voiced by Candi Milo after being voiced by Roz Ryan on the 2011 animated sitcom The Looney Tunes Show]).

Trivia[]

  • This episode is tied with season 12's "HOMR" as having the shortest title in the show's ongoing history.

Previous Episode References[]

  • "Bart the Daredevil": The scene where Homer falls down the tallest building in Springfield is similar to when he jumped Springfield Gorge, but fell before he could get to the other side.
  • "Crook and Ladder": One of Homer's childhood dreams was to ride on the back of a fire truck.

Goofs[]

  • Lisa only thought that Bart was cheating just because he had 100% on his tests, which by itself does not prove that Bart was not following the system of students trusting each other not to cheat. Lisa just wanted herself to be in the right when she forced Bart to turn himself in and wouldn't admit that she was wrong to think that he was cheating just based on him getting 100% on everything. Besides, if Bart really was cheating, it's very likely that somebody else would have already turned him in.
  • The detention quilt says "detention of '08", but this episode aired in 2013.
  • Cookie Kwan is shown at the PTA meeting, even though her only child is a baby.
  • Lisa ripped part of her hair off during one of the conversations with Bart, but some scenes later, her hair is intact.
