Trivia

• This is the first time in this season that A.J. has a speaking role. The second time will be Dimmsdale Tales.
  • This is the last episode of the original series in which Gary LeRoi Gray voices A.J. He is voiced by Tara Strong in Dimmsdale Tales, which is also his last speaking role in the series. Gray will reprise the role in The Fairly OddParents: A New Wish.
• Although Trixie does not appear in this episode, she is mentioned.
• It has been revealed that Cosmo's favorite color is bleach.

Allusions

Humanoid SpongeBob

• T.U.F.F. Puppy - The title sounds like the villain, Verminious Snaptrap.
  • Chatty becomes a monster which is similar to R.I.T.A becoming a monster in the episode, Toast of T.U.F.F.

• SpongeBob SquarePants - There is a kid that resembles the titular protagonist (SpongeBob) with orange hair, white shirt, red tie, buck teeth and blue eyes with 3 eyelashes in each one.
  • Interestingly, Tom Kenny, the voice actor voicing Cupid in the show, also voices SpongeBob from the titular long-running show.
• Fanboy & Chum Chum - Chatty becoming a monster is also similar to Yo's digital pet, Scampers, becoming a monster when Fanboy accidentally kills it in the episode, Digital Pet Cemetery.

• 2001: A Space Odyssey - When Chatty says she can't let Timmy turn her off and displays a red dot "eye", she is referencing Hal 9000's quote.

• Keyboard Cat - Chatty shows Timmy a video about a cat playing the piano which is a reference to the famous internet meme.

• Apple - Timmy's addiction to Chatty could be a reference to today's kids addiction with iPhones.
  • Chatty might be a reference to Siri, a voice automated personal assistant for Apple products, which was introduced in 2013.

• WhatsApp - The way the kids get hooked to their smartphones when chatting could be a shoutout and/or similar case to actual WhatsApp usage.

Goofs

• Timmy's new cell phone is green on the title card and grey in the episode.
• When they were at the Time Before Fun Museum after Chatty turned into a monster, the first time zoomed out there was only 1 switch. When it was zoomed in there were 2 switches.
• The ending credits for this episode erroneously credit Jim Ward and Grey DeLisle for each other's characters.
• In this episode, Cosmo said his favorite color is bleach. But in Where's the Wand? and other episodes, he said his favorite color is green, although he may like both (Look at Where's the Wand? for the same goof).
• When Sparky squashes the accelerator, the accelerator's form is a dog's paw print even though it is Mr. Turner's car.
• On the title card, Timmy's phone has a gold crown on the bottom of it. But in the actual episode, the crown is grey.
• When Timmy pulls the lever, the words "Bed Zone" isn't on it. Then, when Wanda says, "Wrong lever, sport!" the words "Bed Zone" is on the lever.
• When Mr. Crocker presses "Gloat Mode" on his phone, there is only one bar. However, it is the biggest bar, not the smallest bar as it should be.

Sparky: (on driving the car and sticking his head out the window) "Well, I guess I can try". (walks away, scene zooms out to Timmy on bed)"I CAN'T DRIVE!" (crashes offscreen, Timmy continues to play with his phone)

Wanda: "Sport, put down the phone! It's time for you to go back to school!"

Timmy: "You're right, Wanda, I should go to school...(gets out of bed)...to brag about my new phone!" (shaves his beard)
