- The song playing while The Fight Club beat up Chalmers is "Don't You (Forget About Me)", part of the soundtrack of The Breakfast Club.
- Chalmers says that the best movie about Theodore Roosevelt is Night at the Museum, either the first movie or the sequel. Roosevelt was played by Robin Williams and was a major character in the first film, but had less of a role in the second film.

Continuity
- One of the T-shirts that Edna Krabappel was selling was for Waverly Hills Elementary School. ("Waverly Hills 9-0-2-1-D'oh")
Goofs
- When Chalmers asks Bart if he has ever seen a horse that his father wasn't betting on and Bart replied "no sir", this is wrong as Bart previously owned a racehorse named Duncan in "Saddlesore Galactica".
- Bart also rides a horse in "Dude, Where's My Ranch?"
- Nelson's Ha Ha! is heard, however, neither Nelson nor his mother said it as Nelson's face is still straight when it happened.
- When Bart sees the presidents in a fold-out, "Roosevelt" is next to a crease on the fold. In a close up, "T." has appeared before "Roosevelt" and there is no crease or fold next to the image and caption of the president.
