Trivia

  • A.J.'s TV has something called a Parental Block, which prevents him from watching any non-educational programs (as well as any animal violence on the educational programs).
  • This episode marks the first appearance of Chester's mother, yet she was only seen in a photo picture.
  • When Timmy is trying to fake a dog attack, he doesn't realize that Cosmo and Wanda accidentally left and were replaced with real junkyard dogs. He doesn't realize this until he's actually attacked, despite the real junkyard dogs obviously being a different color than Cosmo and Wanda.
    • This gag is repeated in Spring Break-Up, an episode with a slightly similar premise.
    • Both episodes were both directed by Ken Bruce, which additionally, this is Ken Bruce's first episode as a director.

Allusions

Running Gags

  • People saying, "I'd be insulted if you didn't".
  • Cosmo naming animals.
  • Timmy going from one house (Chester's) to the other (A.J.) repeatedly and vice-versa.
  • Cosmo starts crying when the animals he named died.

Continuity & Easter Eggs

  • In Smarty Pants, A.J. apparently knew nothing about Crash Nebula. Since that episode, it seems like he's become a fan, as he now says that he prefers Crash Nebula over the Crimson Chin. But even this fact is questionable because A.J. played Crash Nebula with Timmy and Chester in Spaced Out, which came before both episodes.
  • Mr. Turner uses a similar child block to the one in this episode in Ruled Out, to prevent Timmy from watching violent programming.
  • In The Big Scoop!, there are train tracks shown between the trailer park and A.J.'s mansion. In this episode, you can hear the sound of a train in the background.
  • The cat costume Timmy wears in this episode is also worn by him in Catman Meets The Crimson Chin.

Goofs

  • Cosmo's footprints are gone from Timmy's face when he notes that Chester and A.J. were coming.
  • The serpentines that Chester throws to A.J. are gone a scene after he throws them.
  • When Cosmo initially barks at Jimmy when in his dog form, his barking sounds similar to a real dog. Later when he's trying to get Jimmy to come back and he barks again, he simply says "Bark bark" in his normal voice.
  • When Jimmy was seen at the end of the episode, Cosmo's shadow turns red for an extremely short second.

Quotes

Timmy Turner: Can I use the bathroom?
A.J.: [correcting Timmy's grammar] May I use the bathroom.
Timmy: Hey, I asked first!

Chester: I'd be insulted if you didn't!

A.J.'s Dad: Guess what. I just blocked every program except for the High Educational Major Geek Channel. Look, Antelopes!
