   Ehhhh. OK. Largely didn't do it for me, though I did like the concepts more or   
   less (the puberty, the acne/makeup thing, the rivalry with Skinner in   
   particular). Still pretty short even with the insanely long couch gag.

   Previous episode stuff   
   AABF09: "Max Power" is a setting in the La-Z Rider couch gag   
   3F21: Lisa's talk of how admitting you're not cool makes you cool is   
   reminiscent of Marge's line then   
      
   Meta/running gags   
   There were a lot in this episode. Some I noted were the "Skinner is a wiener"   
   graffiti, Lisa's "becoming a squeaky-voiced teen" (transitioning into doing   
   the voice while imitating a fast-food SVT), Snake's prisoner number of 7F20,   
   Lisa's mention of her "   
   lampshade dress"   
      
   Friends   
   For those who don't know, episode titles of Friends generally start with "The   
   One With" or "The One Where" (the way people would tend to describe TV   
   episodes before knowing offscreen titles became easy). This makes Bart's   
   interrupted question a bit    
   amusing.   
      
   And finally (repeat alert)   
   If I hadn't had to put off my viewing of the episode until today, I might not   
   have even noticed the interesting coincidence that David Bowie's heterochromia   
   is referred to, and then he died just last night. I wonder if the line will be   
   altered in any way    
   for repeats. I imagine not, since it's not that major or morbid, but we'll see!
