*The members of the band [[Binky (band)|BINKY]] are seen several times throughout the episode.

* An animation error occurs after [[U Stink]] finishes performing at the PTA fundraiser. [[Luke]] can be seen from behind in the front row of the audience, and for a period of about one second, his skin color changes from gray to yellow.
