This sentence appears under Cultural References section:
When Barney says Ow my Nose after Flanders shuts the door on him is from Marcia Brady from The Brady Bunch and The Brady Bunch Movie after she gets smacked in the face with a football.
Barney gets his face smacked by a tiny door; Marcia gets her face smacked by a football. They both say something like "Ow, my nose!" Is there really a strong connection between these two events? Inquiring minds want to know!
The connection here seems flimsy, to me anyway.  The statement is unverified by any source that I know of; frankly I doubt one exists.  However, I am sometimes wrong about pop-culture references; but I'm also older than 50, so I remember afternoon re-runs of The Brady Bunch quite well.
I can't help thinking of Martin Prince's reaction to Grampa Simpson's claim that the German kaiser had stolen the English word for twenty or some other number, requiring Yanks to substitute the word dickety instead:
