Billy West and John DiMaggio do a beat for this episode's Opening Sequence instead of the traditional theme tune.
Monique was originally just a demo robot for the series but was popular enough to be included as a character.
Louis is one of the few writers to write in all four seasons others include David and Ken.
Calculon's voice is a mixture of a large number of actors.
The noise the Hypnotoad makes is nicknamed Angry Machine.
The teenage robot's now have new flashing zits.
They couldn't come up with a name for Human Friend so they just called him Human Friend.
John, Billy and Maurice have had some terrible auditions.
- Once Billy was auditioning for a radio show with a hangover and he threw up all over the recording equipment.
They finally get to make fun of the network executives in this episode.
A lot of computers in the show are similar to Apple's Mac computers.
They wanted to use some more pop-ups saying things like You're watching Futurama the show that doesn't encourage stealing.
Cubert was supposed to be punched by characters when he became annoying but they thought that punching a twelve year old was tight.
They use the joke F.A.R.T a lot in this episode.
Donbot seems to have a child as he is part of F.A.R.T.
The show produces many toy figures.
- Whenever they see H.G. Blob they think of the little toy figure of him.

David X. Cohen: You came in and said what if Bender was a TV star.
Maurice LaMarche: (As Calculon) Do you really think so.
Brian Sheesley: Look its Morbo who doesn't sound like Lrrr or Horrible Gelatinous Blob.

Billy West: God that guy sould do his own movie promo's. Come see it again for the eighth time.
Billy West: He came in and said this place smells like cheese.
