Trivia

- In Mr. Forgetful...Hey, Waiter!, he called Little Miss Wise Little Miss Dotty and Little Miss Giggles by mistake.
- He doesn't even know his name.
- He hasn't cried yet, so it is unknown if he does though.
- He has made an appearance on Cartoon Network's MAD in the "Cowboys & Alien Force" sketch. His body looks the same, but, resembles Mr. Impossible. He was shown talking to Jake about forgetting the title before Jon Favreau snatched him.
- In Bingo No, his hat was shown twisting around the world. Geography!
- In the intro of his 1975 cartoon, his hat is yellow instead of red.

He just can't remember
I'm... Oh, dear. What's my name again?
I do wish I could remember things
I remember now!
I really am forgetful! I've got the worst memory ever, I'll probably forget my own name next!
I know this one, it's on the tip of my tongue
I have? Oh. I can't remember! Can you?
