Line 39:
[[Image:Hippy Jake.png|right|frame|Jake, Helen, and the Yeagers do their protest.]]
* [[Upchuck]] is searching for a set of "fast food premiums" (the little toys you get free), something [[Anne D. Bernstein]] introduced in "[[The Daria Diaries]]".▼
* An explicit date is established: Helen and Jake were at Boulder in August 1969, where they spent a night in jail. Willow and Coyote knew them then, so they presumably went to [[Middleton College]] too, as the contemporary "[[The Daria Database]]" says Jake & Helen are part of the Class of '72. (See [[Datedness of Daria]])
* Jake, Helen, and the Yeagers once tried to levitate the Pentagon. This is a reference to a real-life "attempt" to do this in October 1967 by Abbie Hoffman and Allen Ginsberg during an anti-war march that was prevented from reaching the building, though the characters aren't part of a larger protest in this flashback. (This is the same march [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pentagon#Protests where George Harris famously placed a carnation in a soldier's gun]) Whereas Hoffman and Ginsberg were doing guerilla theatre, young Jake actually ''believes'' it could be levitated...
▲* [[Upchuck]] is searching for a set of "fast food premiums" (the little toys you get free), something [[Anne D. Bernstein]] introduced in "[[The Daria Diaries]]".
* This is the only episode prior to "[[Through a Lens Darkly]]" that shows just how bad Daria's eyesight is when she's not wearing her glasses.
Line 51:
*When living in the hippy "group house", Helen and Willow had to do all the house work until Helen twigged this was just like in regular society.
* A group of dogs are chasing after the Yeagers' car, which seems to be a subtle gag that they actually got a ''female'' dog and haven't noticed.
* While discussing "Zappa digital" and "Zappa analog", Trent and Jesse are listening The Mothers of Invention's album [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weasels_Ripped_My_Flesh Weasels Ripped My Flesh].
