Behind the scenes

• Judy is absent in this short, just as she was in the previous short, although she appears in the series title card.
• The characters are exaggerated even more than they were in the previous short, "Father & Son Day."
• The Simpsons are referred to by Jane as "one of those cruddy, 20th century yellow, cartoons," after Eloy tells his parents "Don't have a cow, man!" (which is one of Bart Simpson's catchphrases).
