Behind the scenes

Errors

 * The first check Judy signs is signed to a Lani-Marie Pfluger which she then passes to a character later identified as Jessica.
 * The door on Brian's lab spells his surname O'Brian, but his own inspirational quote on his wall spells his surname as O'Brien.

Everlasting influence

 * A poster in the breakroom informs of a monthly meeting about if the company should get the internet, which happens in "We Got the Internet."
 * A photo of a ShareBear is on the Sebben & Sebben Memories Case in "Baltimo."
 * For Adult Swim's 2022 April Fools prank, the episode was altered to have Pibby and Bun Bun from Learning with Pibby appear as a cameo. They get tossed into the air along with all the other ShareBears.
 * This won't be the only time Ron Funches voices a small teddy bear.
