Additional Information
Trivia
- When Professor Farnsworth is under the influence of the herbal supplement, he is wearing purple glasses. The hippie parallel version of him in "The Farnsworth Parabox", Professor Freaksworth, wore purple glasses.
- This episode has the shortest opening sequence to date. Unlike the usual abridged version, this sequence still shows the Planet Express ship flying around and retains the opening cartoon.
Allusions
- Click here to see cultural mentions made in this episode.
- The episode's title is a parody of the 1982 science fiction film E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, directed by Steven Spielberg.
- The Jeffersons Memorial is a reference to the Jefferson Memorial, dedicated to the third president of the United States — Thomas Jefferson —, and the CBS sitcom The Jeffersons.
- When the crew is on Omicron Persei 8, Fry asks Bender if he will let him know if they have to "cheese it", and Bender replies that that is the first law of robotics. The first law of robotics, one of the three created by American science-fiction author Isaac Asimov, says that "a robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm".
- When Jrrr tells Fry that he is eating his "turds", Fry responds by saying "Feces pieces? Bleckh!". This is a reference to Reese's Pieces, candy which look like coloured pellets, similar to Jrrr's poop.
- In Jrrr's room, there is a bowl containing Blinky the fish, from The Simpsons, a doll that looks like Boba Fett, from the Star Wars franchise, a Klingon bat'leth, from the Star Trek franchise, and a toy/model of an Omicronian saucer.
- The image of Bender knocking out Fry mimics the famous photo of Muhammad Ali knocking out Sonny Liston.
Quotes
Professor Farnsworth: Good news, everyone! I'm in terrible pain.
Leela: Bender. Do you know where Fry is? I haven't seen him since we got back from Omicron Persei 8.
Bender: Fry?! You... just missed him. He went out to buy you flowers. Whatever kind you like best. 'Cuz he loves you and crap.
Jrrr: Can you save him?
Drrr: I could, but he'd only live another 80 years at most. The humane thing is to put him to sleep.
Lrrr: What's happening? Why's his butt glowing?
Drrr: The electromagnetic intensity of the robot's friendship is causing the herbs in his bowels to bioluminesce with love. Probably.
Continuity
- The crew get past the blockade surrounding Omicron Persei 8 by spray painting "Omicronian Express" on the side of the ship. Ironically, the ship was at one point converted into an Omicronian Express ship in "Lrrreconcilable Ndndifferences".
- Bender previously read a Cigar Jerk publication in "Fry Am the Egg Man".
