Cultural references
- Milhouse is seen watching the children's TV show Teletubbies (right) before switching to the movie commercial.
- The Bloodening (the movie being shown at the drive-in) is based on the horror films Children of the Corn and Children of the Damned.
- The scene where the kids take the different electronics through the fence parodies scenes from The Little Rascals, including Milhouse dressed as Alfalfa.
- The scene where people are running out of the movie theater is a clear reference to a scene from The Blob.
- The song near the end of the episode parodies the song "Kids" from Bye Bye Birdie.
- Grampa's line, "We're gonna gonna teach you rugrats a lesson", may be a reference to the long-running Nickelodeon animated series Rugrats, but it's also possible that Grampa is using the word in its slang sense, as a pejorative term for children.
Goofs
- The order the kids are sitting in at the drive-in changes.
Trivia
- When the Gracie Films logo is shown in the closing sequence, when the woman says "Shh!", the Old Jewish Man shouts, "Don't tell me to shush, you stupid lady!"
Continuity
- Lisa is left-handed in this episode, despite normally being right-handed.
