| 1 | * AccidentallyCorrectWriting: There actually ''is'' something called Vitamin R; it's a slang term for the stimulant drug methylphenidate. |
| 2 | * CrossdressingVoices: Taken to an extreme with the adult male supervisor of the construction site Bart messes around with [[VocalDissonance having a voice exactly like Bart's]], complete with Creator/NancyCartwright supplying his voice. |
| 3 | --> "Hey, can't you tell my voice from a ten-year-old kid's?! Ay carumba!" |
| 4 | * DevelopmentGag: The bit where a man hysterically shouts "The PTA has disbanded!" and jumps out a window, only to be informed it had not, and calmly jumps back through the same window and takes his seat, is a lighthearted jab at the writer who suggested the StrikeEpisode plot thinking the PTA disbanding would be the most interesting element of the plot. |
| 5 | * EditedForSyndication: The scene during the end of act one where all the teachers leave after the strike is called where Mr. Largo's class plays "Pop Goes the Weasel" (which Mr. Largo banned from being played) now that Mr. Largo isn't here is cut from network TV syndication, making act one end on the scene of the little girl stuck on the gymnastic rings yelling for her gym teacher Mrs. [[PunnyName Pummelhorst]] to let her down. Versions shown on FX, FXX, the [=DVD=]s, and Disney Plus have it uncut. |
| 6 | * ThrowItIn: According to the episode's DVD commentary, all of the shouting that Skinner and Krabappel did to be let out when Bart locked them in the former's office was ad-libbed by Creator/HarryShearer and Creator/MarciaWallace. |
| 7 | * WriteWhatYouKnow: Much of the episode is based on David Mirkin's experience as a child with schools running out of money. |
