== Trivia ==
*This is the second episode to show its title (the first being "[[The Telltale Head]]") and first to show its number (episode 23).
*The Devil was off in his calculation of the next time the Yankees would have won the American League pennant: not "a century from now," but 1996.
*The Devil uses a Macintosh computer to check Bart's record.
*Sign in Dr. Nick Riviera's office: "Yes, we use anesthetic!" Also, one of his diplomas reads: "I went to medical school for four years and all I got was this lousy diploma."
*This episode shows [[Yuma Simpson|Great Grandma Simpson]], [[Hortense Simpson|Aunt Hortense]], and [[Snowball I]] in [[Heaven]].
*[[Julius Hibbert|Dr. Hibbert]] pokes [[Bart Simpson|Bart]]'s bump and he shouts "Ow! Quit it." two times. This was the second time we hear Bart shout "Ow! Quit it." He first shouted it in "[[Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire]]". [[Matt Groening]] claims this reference comes from what his real life siblings (Maggie and Lisa) used to do to him when he was a child.
*The program's version of Hell is an homage to {{w|Hieronymus Bosch}}'s triptych ''{{w|The Garden of Earthly Delights}}''; esp. the ''Hell'' panel.
*This is one of the most heavily edited episodes in syndication. The full opening sequence is replaced with the short opening from Season 5's "[[Rosebud]]", and there are 17 cut scenes, none of which are over nine seconds long.
*Approximately half-way through the episode, when Bart is on the witness stand, the characters [[Akbar]] and [[Jeff]] from [[Matt Groening|Matt Groening's]] comic, [[Life in Hell]], can be seen in the courtroom audience.
*Bart's X-ray shows him with a normal round shaped skull but later episodes will show the top as spiky like his hair.
*This is the sixth episode to have Bart's name somewhere in the title.
*[[Doris Grau]] was a voice actor for the first time, but she continue working on script supervisor until [[1993]].
*The episode was referenced in a bonus game of ''[[Bart vs. the World]]'' in the question round. "In Bart Gets Hit by a Car", what caused Bart to get kicked out of Heaven?" A.) He spat over the side {correct answer} B.) He tied an angel's wings together C.) He spraypainted the clouds.

*The song "Tijuana Taxi" by {{w|Herb Alpert}} and the Tijuana Brass is heard twice in the show's history: in this episode (as [[Charles Montgomery Burns|Mr. Burns]] is recalling the time leading up to the incident), and in "[[On a Clear Day I Can't See My Sister]]".
*The Devil says "Please allow me to introduce myself", a reference to The Rolling Stones song Sympathy for the Devil.
*When Bart wakes up from his out-of-body experience, he says, ''"I did go away, [[Marge Simpson|Mom]]! I was miles and miles and miles away, writhing in agony in the pits of Hell! And you were there! And you and you and you,"'' a reference to ''[[The Wizard of Oz]]'', when [[Dorothy Gale|Dorothy]] awakens from her slumber.

== Goofs ==
*In the scene where Burn's blue-haired lawyer is questioning Marge about Dr. Riviera, when it goes to the view behind/next to Marge's head you can see the blue-haired lawyer both in front of Marge, and also in the background sitting next to Mr. Burns and the other lawyer.
