Trivia

• There are stereotypical elements that were used throughout cartoons on Nick and other channels- like the common name Aunt Gertrude, and the video game having generic versions of Atari sound effects.
• Timmy's Aunt Gertrude is shown only in lobster form in her lone appearance in the series.
• First time we see that when Timmy wishes very big Cosmo and Wanda's wand has a plug for extra power.
• When Timmy, A.J., and Chester lose a life, the sound that plays is the exact same sound that plays when you hit an enemy in the 1983 arcade game, Mario Bros.
• This episode inspired the "Vicky Virus" level of the Breakin' Da Rules video game.
• When Timmy dodges the carrots in slow motion, it parodies The Matrix when Agent Smith shoots at Neo with a gun while Neo dodges the bullets. Timmy's dodging of the Ninja Bunny's carrots is a reference to Neo's dodging of Agent Smith's gun bullets.
• The scene of Timmy dodging carrots is also similar to the introduction movie parodies in the Wishology part: The Big Beginning when Timmy as Neo was being chased by Mr. Crocker as Agent Smith.
• Vicky apparently does not realize that plugging too many things at once will blow up the power since she tried to plug in all the plugs at once so that she could watch TV and did not realize that will make things worse.
• The Shows Cosmo and Wanda are The Oprah Show(The Cosmo Show), I Love Lucy(I Love Wanda)etc.
• Chester and A.J. are identified by name for the first time in this episode. However, Chester's, McBadbat, last name is not revealed until the second season episode Foul Balled. A.J.'s last name has never been revealed.
• Robot Vicky appears as a boss in Fairly OddParents: Enter the Cleft!
• According to Wanda (when she wrote her diary), this episode occurs on Wednesday, March 22, with an unknown year.
• The level with Aunt Gertrude is level eight. When Vicky is in the game at the end, she goes from level one to level eight in about five seconds. Unless levels one to seven are ridiculously short, Vicky must be absolutely amazing at video games.
• The plot is similar the 1980s movie, Tron, where Timmy, Chester, A.J. become part of the game, thus can be permanently deleted if their 3 lives are lost, as well as their virtual reality suits being almost exactly the same in appearance.
• Apparently Timmy always goes to the bathroom at 6:13 (according to A.J. at least).

Running Gags

• The phrase "What am I/is he, four?" being used to describe Timmy's age

Goofs

A Goof: Chester's eyebrows are black

• Before Timmy leaves to the bathroom, one of the virtual reality helmets is placed on top of the game console and the other one is placed next to it on the right, but when Chester and A.J. come, they pick up the virtual reality helmets and both are on the floor far from the game console.
• When Timmy tells Chester and A.J. that they need to take their helmets off, and AJ says that he went at 6:13, look at Chester's eyebrows. They turn black for a second.
• When all the electricity was out at the end, Vicky was playing in the game even though Cosmo and Wanda weren't powering it.
• Vicky was still alive in the game after she wasted her 3 lives.
