| |
| *Maurice read [[Al Gore]]'s character at the table reading, with [[Kristin Gore]] in the room.

| |
| *Billy's imitations, instead of trying to be dead on, plays up the flaws and quirks in the voice.
| |
| *The episode has turtles and the Galapagos Islands, but the two are unrelated.

| |
| *[[Headless body of Agnew|Agnew]] was [[Eric Kaplan]]'s idea. They are aware his ability to make sound is odd.
| |
| *[[Hedonism Bot]] was created for the line "let the games begin" and his role in the episode grew backwards from there.
| |
| *Bender has fallen down before, but all those times he was slightly on his side.
| |
| *The burping in the crowd scene was to be done by members of a group brought in to do extra background noise, but only one woman could burp on command, she had to do so repeatedly to produce the sound.
| |
| *Ending is similar to "[[A Big Piece of Garbage]]", the solution isn't permanent and the professor receives a prize.
| |
| *This would most likely give the Earth a more elliptical orbit.
