Notes

• There are fewer than 22 short films in this episode (I count 15).
• The barber shop that Lisa goes to is called Snippy Longstocking's.

References

• The scene in which Chief Wiggum is tied up by Snake is a parody of Quentin Tarantino's 1994 cult classic, "Pulp Fiction", in which Bruce Willis is tied up in a very similar situation.
