The scene from Vertigo.
- The episode's title is a reference to Prince Charming.
- Principal Skinner running up the stairs then looking down and seeing that he is a ways up is similar to a scene in Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo.
- Skinner yelling "Tomorrow is another school day!" parodies the last scene and line from Gone with the Wind: "Tomorrow is another day", with Springfield Elementary standing in for Tara.
- When Patty tells Skinner "Good night, sweet principal" she is parodying a line spoken by Horatio after Hamlet dies: "Goodnight, sweet prince."
- When Skinner says "Callooh! Callay!" in the bell tower, he is quoting from Lewis Carroll's nonsense poem "Jabberwocky".

- When Homer is trying to find a boyfriend for Selma, Carl Carlson is incorrectly named "Karl".
- When Patty says "Marry me, Patty" after looking at the message on the field, she doesn't open her mouth.
- After Bart used herbicide to write his name in the grass in 40-foot letters, Principal Skinner punishes him by making him re-seed the lawn by hand. This however wouldn't work, as the herbicide would kill all the seeds; the topsoil would need to be replaced first.
