Talk:Summer of 4 Ft. 2

Episode Title

The episode title is Summer of 4'2, not Summer of 4 Ft. 2. 67.64.184.91 23:09, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Indeed- the gag in the title barely makes sense when it's written like that. Emops 23:21, 17 April 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Emops (talk • contribs)

Milhouse

Milhouse pets this weird...thing at the beach and goes "Nice doggy!". What the hell was it? A type of crab... I think. ~~Lazyguythewerewolf . Rawr. 19:59, 2 October 2007 (UTC) --It was a horseshoe crab. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.201.252.172 (talk) 18:57, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Cultural references

Unsourced cultural references from the article:

• The title is a spoof of the 1971 movie Summer of '42.
• Homer replicates a scene from American Graffiti where Toad gets a bottle of Old Harper. Homer on the other hand buys not only the Old Harper, but buys embarrassing items including porno magazines, a large box of condoms, panty shields, and disposable enemas in an attempt to get illegal fireworks (this scene has sometimes been cut out in syndication in the UK). The Beach Boys' "All Summer Long", which is heard during this episode's credit roll, was also featured during the credit roll of American Graffiti.
• When Lisa is checking her new look out, she says, "Like, you know, whatever," akin to how voice actress Gail Matthius says it when she played her Valley Girl Vicki character on Saturday Night Live and the short-lived sketch show Laugh Trax.
• When Erin looks at Bart's slingshot, she says "Who does he think he is, Dennis the Menace?". Throughout the show, Bart's actions are sometimes modeled after the character.
• The name of the town (Little Pwagmattasquarmsettport) sounds like many New England seaside towns that combine long Native American names with "-port" at the end (e.g. Kennebunkport in Maine). This, combined with the terrain (sand dunes), and the fact that the bridge the family drives over at the end closely resembles the distinctive design of the Bourne and Sagamore bridges, suggests that the fictional town is located on Cape Cod.

Can be added back if anybody finds sources. --TheLeftorium 20:17, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
