When Daria, Jane, and Jodie were sitting in the cafeteria, Jodie's hair clip disappeared and then reappeared.
The floor in Daria's room is grey, but in most episodes, it's a dark rose color.
Before the two modelling agents entered the classroom, Brittany was in her cheerleader uniform. After they entered the classroom, she is now seen wearing a trenchcoat.
Jane: (on Kevin) Don't be sad, Brittany. He's with the winners now.
Claude: Oh! Look at you. So pouty, so waif-like. Could you remove your glasses? Daria: Could you remove your halter-top? Cloude: Pardon? Daria: I can't take my glasses off. I need them to see scam artists.
Daria: The whole thing's enough to turn your stomach. Which I guess is good if you want to be a model...eases the transition to bulemia.
Ms. Li: Good morning. I hope I'm not disrupting the learning process. Mr. O'Neill: (sighs) Oh...no.
Jodie: You know, you don't always have to be against everything. If a kid wants to take a modeling class, you can't tell her no. Daria: Maybe not. But you don't have to let the fashion mobs push their classes on school grounds, either. Jane: Yeah. It's not fair to the drug dealers. They have to wait behind the parking lot.
Jane: I wish there'd been a schizophrenic shut-in living in our house before we moved in. Course, we've got Trent living there now. That's almost the same thing.
Romonica: All right, ladies. Now, when you stride down the runway, you're walking towards your car. You've spotted a headless corpse in it...and it's a brand new car! Daria: And a smelly old corpse. Jane: In a really bad outfit.
Claude: Now, girls, you're little kittens in an animal shelter. You have to look sad and helpless so someone will adopt you, or else it's kitty heaven. Jane: Kitty heaven? Daria: How does he know they're not going to kitty hell?
Helen: I don't think you realize that modeling is an extremely competitive activity... Quinn: So is dating, if you do it right. Helen: ...in which your value as a human being is decided entirely on how you look. Quinn: When does the bad part come in?
Helen: You really feel strongly about this. Daria: What do you mean? Helen: Well... you're talking to us.
Jodie: It's completely voluntary. What's the problem? Daria: No problem. But why stop at modeling? Maybe there's a go-go bar downtown that would like to come here and recruit lap dancers. Jodie: Don't mention that idea to Brittany.
Jane: Well, I for one am very excited about this. I can feel myself getting into the modeling spirit. Ms. Li: Excellent! Jane: May I be excused? I'd like to go to the girls' room and vomit up breakfast.
Jane: I've said it before, and I'll say it again. You have the coolest room. Daria: It's got pros and cons. You can't hurt yourself in here. But you can't hurt anybody else either.

Brittany mistakes Henry David Thoreau's book Walden with the 1981 film On Golden Pond, which starred Katherine Hepburn, Henry Fonda, and Jane Fonda.
This episode was NEVER aired on The-N.
Title Pun: This Year's Model There is an Elvis Costello album titled "This Year's Model". It is also an expression about new car and appliances that have come out in the most recent year.
Cloude: We're a little long in the tooth to be attending high school. "Long in the tooth" is a reference to the way some animals' teeth constantly grow as they get older.
Walden The book being discussed in Mr. O'Neill's class is Henry David Thoreau's Walden, or Life in the Woods & Other Writings. It's Thoreau's journal from when he lived in the woods by Walden Pond for over a year.
