Cultural references

  • This episode title is a pun on the comic strip Little Orphan Annie and Milhouse's name.
  • Uncle Norbert is an obvious parody of Indiana Jones.
  • "Adagio for Strings" is played during the "dark and gloomy" scene showing the coastguards driving toward the Simpson's house. Adagio for Strings was also used for the main theme in Oliver Stone's anti-war movie Platoon. The scene itself is a parody of a scene from Saving Private Ryan, where Mrs. Ryan is informed of the death of her sons.
  • Homer's song "You're the Wilma to my Fred" is a reference to another animated sitcom, The Flintstones.
  • Part of "The Raiders March" from the Indiana Jones film, Raiders of the Lost Ark is played when Uncle Norbert flies Milhouse home in his biplane.
