Trivia
- The main theme music is unique in this episode, as the characters' voices vocalize along with the tune.
- While Cubert, Dwight and Tinny Tim are stealing Bender's stuff, Bender Calls Fry on the phone, just as Dwight is walking past Fry carrying a safe labeled 'Bender's Loot.' In the next scene, it is revealed that Bender was inside this safe, which means that Bender called Fry from inside the safe as it was being stolen, but, did not mention it to him.
- In attempting to stop Bender's offensive influence on kids, Prof. Farnsworth and Hermes organize a group of like-thinking dads, calling their group to get rid of anything on TV that may be slightly over-the-top, Fathers Against Rude Television. In an acronym-obsessed world, it says enough.
