Eighth Grade, Washington DC trip, all my friends abandon me to be with their girlfriends instead of having fun, I am alone.
8th grade, Washington DC bus trip… my friends are making out and giving hand jobs to their boyfriends. Instead of abandoning me, I am awkwardly around them. Worse than being alone?
I feel for Bart being abandoned like that, but if you’ve seen Stranger Things – Barb perfectly portrays the female side of this.

I think the magazine Lisa’s reading was a reference to Popular science was notorious for it’s advertising section in the back.
So…you’ve somehow convinced someone that your target audience needs tampons, eh?
I know I do, it’s that time of the month for me again.
I need tampons as much as I need anything from any of the ads on podcasts. I bought a Casper matress, and still have to hear those ads, but nothing else is anything I need. It’s good podcasters are getting paid, I guess, but like almost all advertising, it just wastes my time, thankfully it’s mostly skippable now.
Technically, more than half of the earth’s population needs tampons.
now if only we can get them all to listen :/ hmmmmm
Just trying to survive/compensate people for their time and work. Thanks for understanding!
Hey, I’d say I’m in the target audience as a 29-year-old person… and I use tampons!
In the middle of the episode, I always thought the magazine Lisa is reading was a parody of Omni magazine.
The 2525 thing is specifically a song reference, I think.

The opening Raiders parody is one of my favourite Simpsons segments of all time.

Growing up, I was definitely not relating to Milhouse in this episode. Instead, I was only ever on Bart’s side, seeing people having crushes and not really getting it (however, not sabotaging them like he does). I randomly tuned in and rewatched this during high school after a particularly frustrating first crush and I really felt for Milhouse in a lot of ways. It’s episodes like this that help me really appreciate the show, where it works on multiple levels and in different ways depending on your age.
