Trivia: During the scene in the classroom where the teacher is having the students read their poems, if you look on the chalkboard you will see the words "I Don't Know" written on it. This is a nod to "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" where in class Mr. Hand asks Jeff Spicoli a question, he responds with these very words and angrily Mr. Hand writes them on the board before giving the class another pissed off tirade on being stupid.

The Simpsons (1989)

Trivia: Matt Groening did all his animation in black and white and another animator was in charge of coloring. When she chose yellow, Matt said it worked and liked it (consequently when she chose purple for trees they rejected it.) The idea behind the yellow after that is so when you're flipping through the channels and come across yellow animated characters, you'll know right away it's The Simpsons.

Stark Raving Dad - S3-E1

Trivia: When Michael Jackson did a guest spot on the show he did his speaking lines himself but when it came to singing, a Michael Jackson sound alike or impersonator stepped in and sung the lyrics to the songs. The reason was based upon his record contract, which since he is so famous probably has a lot of stipulations when he lends out his voice.
