Trivia

In this episode, it's shown that Krusty the Clown lives at 534 Center Street.
In an earlier episode Moe was shown to be afraid of Principal Skinner (possibly due to his authority), but in this episode Moe appears to have over come his fear by delivering a hell of a punch to Seymour.
The word "fuck" (bleeped) is said by Kent Brockman. This became the subject matter of the much later episode, "You Kent Always Say What You Want".
The seminar in the episode is referenced by a sign on the Springfield Community Center in Level 1 of The Simpsons: Hit & Run.
In the shot of the trampoline ad, other ads seen include: "Fat boy bomb: call Herman" and "Good new bible FREE!! ask for Ned".

The scene with a field full of injured children from the trampoline is a reference to the field of injured soldiers shot in the film Gone with the Wind.
When Homer pushes the trampoline off the cliff, it bounces on a pillar of rock right back up, lands on Homer and pushes him down into the overhanging rock ledge: an homage to the Chuck Jones-directed Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner Looney Tunes cartoons. The background and music imitate the desert landscape and music from the cartoons.
At church, Reverend Lovejoy attempts to play the classic rag The Entertainer by Scott Joplin on the organ.

At night, Homer and Marge listen to some kids jumping on Homer's car. Marge then sits on the bed naked, but when the camera zooms to her face, a little portion of a pyjama is seen on her neck.
