Line 43:
* Outside of Quinn, Daria had rarely had her appearance attacked (to her face) at Lawndale High. [[Beavis and Butt-head (comics)|Issues of ''Beavis and Butt-head'']], however, would have Beavis and Butt-head regularly making disparaging remarks, [[Beavis and Butt-head issue 22|twice genuinely angering her]].
* Daria was briefly ''sans'' glasses in several episodes prior to this "[[The Invitation]]","[[Road Warrior]]","[[Quinn the Brain]]" and "Ill", but her eyesight wasn't mentioned. Only in "[[That Was Then, This is Dumb]]" do we get a preview just how poor Daria's eyesight is. "There, that's better, now I can't see a thing."
* Coincidentally, this episode aired during the theatrical run of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/She's_All_That ''She's All That'']: a film centred around an unpopular, "unattractive" girl gaining popularity and happiness after having a makeover, including using contacts instead of glasses. (This is a recurring trope in American romantic comedies and teen dramas) Twelve years later, internet review The Nostalgia Chick would [http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/team-nchick/nostalgia-chick/32202-shes-all-that compare the episode with the film], finding both that Daria was a more believable misanthrope than ''All That's'' Laney and that ''Lens'' lacks the film's implications that conformity will lead to happiness.
