Mark McGwire: Do you want to know the terrifying truth? Or do you want to see me sock a few dingers!
Everyone: Dingers! Dingers!
(Mark McGwire socks a dinger, and as everyone looks at the dinger, he takes the info from the satellite.)
Mark McGwire: Yoink. (edit) (Pulling Bart out of the tank)
Chief Wiggum: That's the end of your Looney Tune, Drugs Bunny. You're under arrest for astro-vandalism.

Principal Skinner: (Gasp) Good Lord! He's going to fire!
Jimbo: All right! Scud the school, dude!
Edna Krabappel: (Without enthusiasm) No. Stop. Think of the children.
(Bart moves the turret towards the church)
Reverend Lovejoy: Not the church! Jesus lives there!
(Bart moves the turret to aim at the Discount Frames store)

(Bart aims at the sky)
Sideshow Mel: Not the sky! That's where clouds are born!

During the scene where Millhouse gets hit by a basketball, he was wearing his sport goggles. Earlier when he was dribbling, he was in his normal red glasses. (edit) Clowns seen jumping out of Krusty's car: Noodles, Seesaw, Oopsie, Flopsweat, Hoohaw, Jitters and Sir Widebottom. (edit) Maude Flanders apeeared to have two different voices. (edit) When The Simpsons find Bart in his room, with the tin foil and the coat hangers, he tells them to close the door, and you clearly hear it shut. But, when the door is next seen, it is wide open. (edit) The chemical name "chlorhexinol" is actually spelled "chlorohexanol." (edit) Homer names off "Andy Dick," (and Bart says, "He's just flamboyant") but the CC reads "Martin Lawrence" (and Bart's original line was "He's just dehydrated"). (edit) Nelson is not wearing his shock collar while he is in class even though he was wearing it in all the other scenes he appears in. (edit) Homer's and Marge's lips didn't match the words when naming famous people on drugs (probably because the line was redubbed for fear of a lawsuit). (edit) In the diorama, it shows that all the students around Bart receive bad grades. However, in a later scene Martin Prince is shown by Bart. (edit) The gymnasium was never a separate building from the school before this episode. (edit) Springfield has had a full-time fire department in many episodes. (edit) The staff of the volunteer firefighters has changed from "Homer the Heretic". (edit) When Homer makes his organizer say "Wassamatta you?" in Turkish, the screen says "What is wrong with you?" and "What is your problem". (edit)

The school's fire safety awareness slogan is "Learn, Baby, Learn," a play on the line, "Burn, baby, burn" from the song "Disco Inferno." (edit) Bart: (singing) Don’t stop, thinking about tomorrow,
Don’t stop, It’ll soon be here.

Bart sings this when driving in the tank. "Don't Stop" was by the popular band, Fleetwood Mac. (edit) Marge stopping Bart's tank by simply standing in its path is reminiscent of the famous 1989 Tiananmen Square protester incident in Beijing. (edit) The song that Bart sings at the end of this episode is very similar to the song "Popeye the Sailor Man." (edit) Chief Wiggum: That's the end of your looney tune, Drugs Bunny.

Chief Wiggum's line fits in two classic cartoon references: Bugs Bunny and Looney Tunes. Looney Tunes is a series of classic cartoons done by Warner Bros. studios from the 1930's into the 1960's. Bugs Bunny is one of the most popular characters of these cartoons, along with Daffy Duck, Elmer Fudd, Yosemite Sam, Porky Pig, Foghorn Leghorn, Pepe Le Pew, Road Runner, Wile E. Coyote, and others. (edit) The drawing made by the police using Marge's description of Bart was comic strip etc. character "Dennis the Menace." (edit) Title: Brother's Little Helper
The episode title is a take off of the Rolling Stones song, "Mother's Little Helper," which is about Valium. (edit)
