Blazed and Confused/References

==Cultural references==
*The episode title is a pun of the 1993 film .
*Jason makes a short appearance behind a forest ranger right before killing her, when Homer tries to book a cabin for a camping trip over the phone.
*A website called Facelook parodies Facebook.
*Blazing Guy festival is a parody of Burning Man festival. At one point, one of the participants mentions Burning Man instead of Blazing Guy, then corrects herself.
*When Mr. Lassen punches through the wall between the fourth and second grades, Milhouse puts his nose in the hole and says "Here's Millie!" That is a reference to a famous The Shining scene "Here's Johnny!"
== Censorship ==
* Two versions of the scene where Principal Skinner interviews Mr. Lassen for the fourth grade teacher position exists: one where Mr. Lassen cuts his cheek open with a letter opener on Principal Skinner's desk after Skinner asks Lassen about the scar he got, and another where Mr. Lassen has a bandage on his face and shows Skinner the scar by peeling off the bandage (though the sound of cutting and bloodshed is still heard in that version). While the American broadcast (and even Disney+) uses the "Lassen cuts his cheek" scene, Sky Showcase in the UK uses the "Lassen peels off the bandage" scene instead. In contrast, Channel 4 doesn't use either scene. Since they had the "cheek cutting" version, they opted to edit that scene, which caused the interview sequence to go from Lassen's line about "...duct-taping kids to the wall" to Skinner immediately hiring him.
== Previous Episode References ==

== Goofs ==
* Superintendent Chalmers says that he and Principal Skinner are gonna do something they never done, fire a teacher, but they fired a few teachers like the time when Ms. Krabappel lost her job twice, seen in "Grade School Confidential (for refusing to break up with Principal Skinner) and "Bart Gets a "Z"" (for being drunk on the job), and Groundskeeper Willie got fired with complete loss of pension for saying he won’t mow in "The Haw-Hawed Couple".
