== Cultural references ==
*Lisa's flippant remark of "What 'cha got?" to Miss Hoover is similar to Marlon Brando in ''The Wild One''.
*Bart's fantasy of being a drifter and remarking that he was banished from a town by a sheriff is similar to ''[[wikipedia:First Blood|First Blood]]'', which revolves around the fact that the film's protagonist, John Rambo, was banished from a town on account of the fact he was scruffy and long-haired and the sheriff did want his kind in the town.
*Bart's courtroom appearance (where his face is concealed by a blue dot and his voice is altered to sound like [[Steve Allen]]'s) is a reference to the 1991 rape trial of {{w|William Kennedy Smith}}. In television coverage of the trial, his accuser's face was concealed with a blue dot.
*The chalkboard gag references {{w|Bulimia nervosa}}.
*The song that plays as Bart and Principal Skinner are closing in on Lisa's locker is based on the theme song "{{w|Axel F}}" from ''{{w|Beverly Hills Cop}}''.
