**Secrets included the Nibbler shadow, at several other points the group randomly said "Secret!" despite nothing important being on screen.
*There was discussion about where the ink should be coming from, but they decided that it should be vague.
*Simultanious countdown is a stretch.
*Hank Azaria met [[David X. Cohen]] while at the recording studio used for both ''The Simpsons'' and ''[[Futurama]]'' and mentioned loving [[Dr. John A. Zoidberg|Zoidberg]]'s voice and requesting to voice a relative of some kind.

*Harold Zoid's name (and Zoidberg) is based on a game Cohen wrote, similar to his favourite game ''[[Wikipedia:Qix|Qix]]'',  for the Apple 2 in assembly called Zoid, as well as actor Harold Lloyd.
**[[Matt Groening]] later bought Cohen a Qix machine as a present, it no longer works.

**Script notes in the early stages included (from Patric himself) "the first act is over joked and the third is under and some where in the middle I lost [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] and [[Turanga Leela|Leela]]". David noted the possibility of needing a C-story runner for Fry and Leela.
*Old titles included "Zoidberg goes to Hollywood" and "Zoiddy goes to Hollywood".
*The audience pan was sped up from 15 seconds to 2 seconds to save time but keep the animations.
