Trivia[]
- This is the first appearance of Mr. Funny and Little Miss Giggles in the show and their first appearances overall since "The Christmas Letter".
- Alex Kelly and Claire Morgan join the UK voice cast.
- This is also the first episode where Alex Kelly voices Little Miss Scary, following Jo Wyatt's departure in "Ships", the previous episode and the last episode in Season 1.
- Mr. Stubborn's sketch in this episode is similar to his sketch from "Rainy Day", as they both involve him trying to get another Mr. Man to go out with him during a rainstorm.
- The song that plays on Mr. Noisy's radio is Dillydale Dance Floor from the episode, "Mall".
- In the same sketch, the giant Dillydale owl from "Full Moon" makes an appearance.
- Oddly enough, although the aliens were scared of the Mr. Grumpy mask, they were not afraid of the real Mr. Grumpy.
- However, they could've been afraid of the expression the mask made.
- A screenshot of the episode's deleted scene is seen on the thumbnail of the official UK upload of "Fruit".
Goofs[]
- When the alien's ship is first seen, you can briefly see it is layered in front of the foreground, as it passes over a slice of pie, a slice of bread and Mr. Nervous' helmet, despite its size suggesting it is in the background.
- The alien that appears at Mr. Nervous' doorstep at the end is muted in the UK dub.
Dub edits[]
- Any instance of "egg salad" is changed to "sandwiches" in the UK dub.
- While the aliens retain their US voices, a more gibberish voice is overdubbed on top of them in the UK version for unknown reasons. However, the original US voices can be heard if one listens carefully.
- Innuendo?: When Mr. Fussy talks about how he watched the weather report, he says "weather report" in the US. However, he says "weather forecast".
