*Starting from this episode, the Season 2 end credits with a 1997 copyright date were used in place of the original ending credits. This would continue for the rest of the season
*When Mr. Ratburn says “The fun and games are over”, he has an angry look. It’s possible that he didn’t want the class to be too excited, afraid that might distract them from their work.
*In the flashback scenes with the previous substitute teachers for Mr. Ratburn's class, Arthur and his friends are wearing different clothes than usual. Worth of note is Francine in an orange shirt, Buster in a red shirt, and "The Brain" in a blue sweater vest, which is what the outfits they generally wore in the older "[[Arthur Adventure]]" books were.

*Miss Ratburn's laptop appears more modern than it should be in the flashback of her childhood.

===Cultural references===
*'''Irony:'''
* In Buster's fantasy, Ms. Ratburn is the Statue of Liberty sunken into the sand near the shore. This is a reference to the ending of the original ''{{W|Planet of the Apes}}''.
**Arthur's class wanted an easy teacher, but at the end, they want Mr. Ratburn to come back.
 
**Arthur's class loved Ms. Ratburn, but now they don't because she gives easy classwork.
*'''Running Gag:'''
**The kids being bored of Mrs. Ratburn giving easy classwork.
**Mr. Ratburn turning everything into a math problem.
*'''Karma:'''
**Mr. Ratburn gave the class hard classwork, so when he was sick, everyone was happy.
**The kids wanted an easy teacher, so when they got it, they were bored.
*'''Timeline:'''
** In the later episode, "[[Desk Wars]]", Mr. Ratburn received a call from his sister that he has become an uncle, yet in this episode her body is normal without any mention of a pregnancy. (although Mr. Ratburn could've mentioned another sister)
** In this episode, The Brain tells Miss Ratburn that puppetry is childish; however, her older brother enjoys puppetry as stated in other episodes.
*'''Moral:'''
** Don't give work that is too easy or too hard for your own benefits.
** Don't be ungrateful for what you have for your own benifits.

*“[[Arthur and the Real Mr. Ratburn]]” shows a fantasy of adult Mr. Ratburn eating nails as cereal. He still does not eat screws, but he does eat the spoon.
 
*Mr. Ratburn loses his voice in this episode. D.W. loses her voice in "[[For Whom the Bell Tolls]]."
*When Francine answered to Arthur’s confusion on her coming to school the day Mr. Ratburn returned, one of her reasons was that she didn’t throw up. This will happen in "[[Vomitrocious!]]"

* When Miss Ratburn starts playing the guitar, she is playing with her left hand; but in the next few seconds, she switches to playing it with her right hand.

* Out of all of Miss Ratburn's teaching methods that the class confirmed to be too easy, she appears to recite the 1X's tables; yet, most kids don't learn about multiplication and division until third grade which Arthur and his classmates are in. It would have only made sense if she only recited the 1+?/the ?–1 tables for the class to prove it too easy.

*When Ms. Ratburn finishes playing the guitar and leaves, the frame where she animatedly freezes is visible.
 
*'''Possible:''' When Mr. Haney announces, that Mr. Ratburn will come back, someone throws up a black hat. This is unrealistic, as no one had a black hat.
