Notes & Trivia

 * Robert Englund also lampoons the character of Freddy Krueger in the 1998 episode of The Simpsons titled "Treehouse of Horror IX".


 * Dan Quayle was the Vice-President of the United States under President George H.W. Bush from 1989 to 1993. Quayle was widely ridiculed in the media and by many in the general public, in both the U.S. and overseas, as an intellectual lightweight. Contributing greatly to the perception of Quayle's incompetence was his tendency to make public statements which were either self-contradictory, impossible or confusing and inappropriate.
