Trivia[]
- Mr. Metal makes a cameo long before Robots even aired in this episode (this episode aired in 2008 whereas Robots aired in 2009.)
- The radio on Miss Sunshine's car plays "The Boogie's Got Me" from "Music", "Big Mess" from "Cooking", and the series' theme song.
- The track Mr. Nervous and Miss Scary were racing on resembled Figure 8 Circuit from Mario Kart DS or the infinite (∞) symbol.
- Miss Whoops's plot in Paint might have taken place right after Mr. Bump's plot in this episode, because Mr. Bump is being a hitchhiker in Paint, and his roof split due to a headlight in this episode.
- This is also the third time a character's house has been destroyed, after Construction and Heatwave. Unlike the previous two, only Mr. Bump's house's roof was destroyed. Mr. Quiet's house was demolished, but his furniture was still intact, while Little Miss Calamity's house fell off the cliff and was fully destroyed, meaning that she would've been a hitchhiker too, as she lost her house.
- Mr. Stubborn unintentionally used reverse psychology on Mr. Fussy.
Dub edits[]
- In the UK, an extra line from Mr. Stubborn is added in: "The customer is always cheap."
- Before Mr. Scatterbrain goes over the ramp, Little Miss Daredevil says "Uh, oh!", which is changed to "Oh, my!" in the UK.
