Bart to the Future/References

==Cultural references==
*The title is a pun on . Nelson's hairstyle and attire are a tribute to the 1985-A Biff Tannen from Back to the Future II.
*When Bart asks why a vision of his own future has an unrelated reference to Abraham Lincoln's gold, the Indian Casino Owner says, "I guess the spirits thought the main vision was a little thin", a barb directed at sitcom writers who pepper thin plots with side plots, including other Simpsons episodes.
==Trivia==
*This episode aired exactly five years after Season 6's "Lisa's Wedding", which also depicted the Simpsons' universe in the future. An interesting point were the endings of both episodes; whereas the fortune teller told Lisa her future could not be changed, the Indian mystic tells Bart to try and change his future for the better. However, it should be noted that Lisa's fortune teller is implied to be a phony, meaning her foretelling of her future may be partially or completely inaccurate.
*The scene in which Bart was talking to the ghost of Billy Carter in a bar at Camp David is similar to "Treehouse of Horror V", where Homer was talking to Moe's ghost in the bar of Burns' mansion. Both of these scenes are parodied from a scene in Stanley Kubrick's film The Shining
*Following a tiny tradition in the series, Ned, the kindest person (and holiest), has bad things happen to him in this episode, yet he remains faithful.
*This is the furthest future episode since it happened after "Lisa's Wedding" and "Future-Drama".
*When showing the Simpsons house in the future you can see the guest bedroom Homer built right before Lisa came home in "Lisa's Wedding."
*Marge mentioned that she had a gambling problem. ("$pringfield")
*Marge is somewhat chubbier in this future. However, she has not gained weight to the extent that Homer has in comparison to when they first met.
==Goofs==
*The mosquitoes took the park ranger's class ring from his right hand, but it was previously shown on his left.
*When Bart plugged in the amp you can see a white (yellow) Carl sitting next to Lenny.
*When Bart throws the Future Duff Beer can on the floor, it turns into a normal Duff Beer can. The other cans are also labeled just "Duff Beer."
