The episode is modeled after the novel The Yearling; a boy receives a deer, but his family has to work harder as the deer destroys the farm. When the father can not work anymore, the boy must give up the deer. The mother also does not like the idea of a deer in the house. The book is mirrored in almost all aspects. The Yearling is a 1938 novel written by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings. ...
Plot Lisa requires a reed for her saxophone because there is a talent show that evening. After calling Marge, Flanders, Reverend Lovejoy, Patty and Selma and "the nice man who caught the snake in our basement", she finally calls Homer at work. Homer agrees but goes into Moe's before the music shop, which is right next door. The shop closes in 5 minutes. Homer, thinking he has enough time to drink the beer, enters Moe's. He walks out with 15 seconds to spare but is too late as the shop is closed. Dejected, he goes back to Moe's where the shop owner is enjoying a drink. Moe helps Homer convince the man to re-open his store. Homer, who barely remembers what he is supposed to pick up for Lisa, purchases the reed and heads for the school. Unfortunately he is still late. He arrives just in time to hear Lisa humiliate herself by butchering the song she chose to play. A reed is a thin strip of material which vibrates to make music. ...

To make Lisa love him again, Homer decides to purchase a pony. However, the ponies range from $5,000 to $500,000. To afford the pony, he applies for a loan through the Power Plant Credit Union. Mr. Burns personally reviews the loan, and approves it only after determining that Homer does not intend to eat the pony and has no knowledge of the "state's stringent usury laws." Charles Montgomery Burns, normally referred to as Mr. ...

In order to pay for all the care it requires, in addition to the high interest rate charged by Mr. Burns, Homer takes a second job working for Apu at the Kwik-E-Mart. Homer becomes more and more exhausted after trying to work both jobs. Finally, Marge admits to the kids that their father has been working two jobs to pay for the pony. Making a heart-rending decision, Lisa agrees to give up the pony, allowing Homer to go back to solely working his regular job. Lisa tells Homer that there's a "big dumb animal" she loves even more than her horse, that being Homer himself. Charles Montgomery Burns, normally referred to as Mr. ...

Continuity There is a scene recycled from Bart's Dog Gets an F when we see Lisa laying on the couch with the mumps as she says on the phone to Homer "I want you to know I love you, Dad!". Also, Homer is wearing the Assassin shoes he bought in the episode that were later destroyed. This was added in deliberately to see if any fans were alert [citation needed]. Some realised this joke, but most did not notice [citation needed]. Barts Dog Gets an F is the sixteenth episode of The Simpsons second season, airing on March 7, 1991. ...
Apu can be seen dating Princess Kashmir (the belly dancer from Homer's Night Out). Ralph Wiggum appears in his post season 1 look but speaks with his old voice, which is highly reminiscent of Nelson Muntz. Avid viewers may find this quite humorous as this deeper, more boyish voice is a stark contrast to the high pitched tone which became the character's standard voice after this point. Homers Night Out is the tenth episode of The Simpsons from the first season. ...

The scene in which Lisa first awakes with the pony in her bed is an obvious homage to the scene in Part 1 of The Godfather, in which a movie producer awakens to discover the head of his favourite horse removed and placed in his bed.

Mr. Burns asks Homer if he is acquainted with the state's usury laws - state laws which limit the interest rate a lender can charge a borrower. From his reaction to Homer not knowing about them, or even knowing the meaning of the word "usury", Mr. Burns is likely charging Homer an illegal amount of interest on his loan. Although Mr. Burns has an interesting way of loansharking, when Homer asks about collateral, Burns replies that "Homer's spirit is collateral" then gives a diabolical laugh. This is likely a reference to the hellish nature of Mr. Burns and that he is trying to somehow claim Homer's soul should he not repay. Look up usury in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ...
