Behind the scenes

Errors

  • For some reason, Barney is driving a car identical to Fred's signature car.
  • Fred's wig is red like Wilma's, but Barney has a brown wig, instead of a black one to match Betty's hair.
  • The joke of Fred and Barney shaving is a little lost when the animators still leave their 5 o'clock shadow.
