It says that "Nelson finally understands why his father left". But, I was under the impression that he said that as a way to abandon Sherri and Terri.- B-101 15:29, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Otto

Otto appears to die in this episode by jumping of a cliff while trying to glide. Worth a mention? Jimmmmmmmmm 19:12, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cultural references

In my opinion the police in this episode have same kind of suits as robocop without his helm. Worth mentioning?

They're definitely Robocops, I'm more curious about a subtler reference, when the characters enter the Prom the song "Take On Me" By a-ha is playing, which is also to song playing as characters enter the prom in the film "Grosse Pointe Blank" AKLR 10:48, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] What's the song?

Taken from Ralph Wiggum:
"Future-Drama": Ralph has a brief cameo during his high school prom, in which he claims he can use the toilet. Although he is only briefly featured, he appears to be an older version of his younger self here complete with non-sequitur. Ralph becomes inadvertently intoxicated when Nelson Muntz spikes the punch, leading to humorous hallucinations.
When he drinked it, a "hippie" song started playing. The same song can be found in many episodes of The Simpsons. What is the name of it and maybe worth mentioning?

 In my opinion the song sounds like Incence and peppermints by Strawberry alarm clock. It can also be heard in the episodes D'oh-in in the Wind and Weekend at Burnsie's.

[edit] Clarification

"Bart is in love with a blonde girl, Jenda (normally a diminutive of a male name)."

What is Jenda diminutive of? I'm taking that out of there anyway because it's UTTERLY IRRELEVANT. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.167.136.139 (talk) 08:09, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
