Trivia

• Arthur mentions that his birthday isn't for another 7 months, meaning this happened in October. It also means school just started very recently. However, the opening sequence could have been set on a different date than the episode.
• The episode's title is a reference to the Great Depression-era song "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?"
• Bionic Bunny was watching The Love Ducks on T.V. in his apartment.
