{{EpisodePrevNextRef|Tales from the Public Domain|Weekend at Burnsie's}}

== Cultural references ==
*The title "Blame It on Lisa" is a reference to the movie ''{{W|Blame It on Rio}}''.
*The host of ''[[Teleboobies]]'' (a play on ''[[Teletubbies]]''), [[Xoxchitla]], is a reference to Brazilian entertainer {{W|Xuxa}}.
*A sign seen on top of an all-you-can-eat meat-on-a-sword restaurant, called [[Churrascarias]] in Portuguese, mistakenly uses the plural instead of Churrascaria ("steak house").
*On the airplane, Bart studies Spanish so he can understand the local people. Marge informs him that Brazilians speak Portugese. Brazil is indeed one of the only non-Spanish speaking countries in Latin America.
*The sign [[Aeroporto International de Galeão]] is a misspelled reference to Rio's international airport, {{W|Galeão—Antônio Carlos Jobim International Airport}} (also known as ''Aeroporto Interna'''c'''ional d'''o''' Galeão'').
*Homer and Bart sing the {{W|Chiquita Brands International|Chiquita}} Banana song, butchering the lyrics with "I'm Chiquita Banana, and I'm here to say, I will eat this [[Toblerone]] and I will not pay!".
*''[[The Itchy and Scratchy Show]]'' cartoon, "[[Par for the Corpse]]", that opens the show is a parody of ''{{W|A Trip to the Moon}}''.
*After Itchy drives Scratchy's head into the moon, he drops several dollar bills onto Scratchy's carcass, referencing [[Rodney Dangerfield]]'s character in ''{{W|Caddyshack}}''.
*Marge mentions the people here in Brazil "love soccer", whereupon the hotel personnel plays soccer with luggage. Soccer is very popular in Brazil. {{W|Pelé}}, the internationally most famous soccer player, is Brazilian.
*At one point, Homer says "Don't you know the boys from Brazil are little Hitlers? I saw it in a movie whose name I can't remember", although ironically, he says the title of the movie in that line. This is a reference to the film ''{{W2|The Boys from Brazil|film}}'', which revolves around {{W|Josef Mengele}} raising clones of [[Adolf Hitler]].
*The book Lisa is reading on the plane, titled ''[[Who Wants to be a Brazilionaire?]]'', is a reference to the game show ''[[Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?]]''
*When the kidnappers and Homer are riding down the {{W|Amazon River}}, the theme song from ''{{W|Miami Vice}}'' plays.
*The song playing just as Homer and Bart are strolling down the beach is the 1939 tune ''{{W|Aquarela do Brasil}}'' (usually just known as "Brazil" around the world), previously featured prominently in the film ''{{W2|Brazil|film}}''.
*Homer's swimming pants who shrink to a shorter size are a reference to the world famous Brazilian "bikini bottoms".
*When Lisa mentions the slums have been painted so that the tourists are not offended, a stream of multicoloured rats run out in front of them. Homer claims they look like {{W2|Skittles|confectionery}}.
*Homer believing that nuns can fly comes from ''{{W|The Flying Nun}}''.
*The family on a lift in Brazil is possibly a reference to ''[[Moonraker]]''.
*{{ap|Ronaldo|Blame It on Lisa}} mentions that he makes as much money as ''{{W|Malcolm in the Middle}}''.

== Trivia ==
*The phone company's name changes from "Comquaq" to "[[Zovuvazz]]" as the family approaches it.
*The name of the orphan charity that Lisa donates to is "L'il Writeoffs".
*Homer is seen wearing a T-Shirt with [[Uncle Sam]] trying to devour the Earth and "Try and Stop Us" printed below that.
*The taxi that Homer gets into says "Unlicensed Taxi" on the door and when it drives off, the sign on top of it changes to "Hostage".
*To [[Ronaldo]] who says that he could not send letters because he did not know where the Simpson live, Lisa replies: ".. if you look at the clues, you can figure it out", but it is known that there is no [[Springfield]] with all the morphological characteristics shown in the various episodes.

== Goofs ==
*A sign seen on top of an all-you-can-eat meat-on-a-sword restaurant, called Churrascaria ("steak house") in Portuguese, mistakenly uses the plural, Churrascarias.
*The sign ''Aeroporto International de Galeão'' is a misspelled reference to Rio's international airport, Galeão International Airport (also known as ''Aeroporto Internacional do Galeão'').
*When Lisa was reading "Who Wants to be a Brazilionare" on the plane, the cover shows Argentina as an ocean, and when Marge was reading it before entering the Conga line, Brazil (except for Amapá) is shown as an ocean.

== Continuity ==
