Everlasting influence

  • The Hydro-Cosmetic Acceler-ager is used again in "Babysitter Blues" and "Don't Be a Baby."
  • Dexter's old man look foreshadows what he will really look like in the TV movie Dexter's Laboratory: Ego Trip. Just as old man Dexter calls Dee Dee "Billy" in this short, old man Dexter calls his young man self "Billy" in Ego Trip.
