Trivia[]
- When Mrs. Jewls mistakes Todd as a monkey, it is a reference to Wayside: The Movie in which she mistake Todd for a monkey when he first appeared.
- In this episode, Myron bring his little brother to school, This would later be use in Cabbage, My Boy when he brought a Cabbage and use it to help win an election.
- Goof: While it is shown that Wayside is a cartoon where people have 4 fingers/toes, there are two characters who had 5 instead of 4.
- Todd's Dad: In the flashback scene where Todd tells the story of how he lost his pet fish, when Todd's Dad flush the toilet, he is seen with 5 fingers instead 4.
- Maurecia: In the scene where Maurecia had to capture a parrot, a duck and a chicken, a quick slip second showed Maurecia having 5 toes but when she captured the duck, it became 4.
- One of the monkeys have Donkey Kong's sound effects from Mario Kart 64.
- This episode references the book chapter "Pet Day," albeit with some changes; Stephen's pet orange is named Red rather than Fido; Rather than Todd bringing in his baby brother, Myron does instead. The name Fido is given to this brother; Many of the pets and students are changed, with only John and Stephen having the same pet as in the books. Bebe may also have the same pet, as a bird is seen flying around the classroom at some points in the episode, but the pet at her desk is obscured during most points in the episode; and the plot, rather than focusing on the confusion of the names of the pets, is about Todd being put in charge of taking care of all the pets.
- King Arthur II has the exact same voice as the unnamed fish earlier in the episode.
