  • This is the first time Cosmo, Wanda, Poof and Sparky fulfilling Timmy's wish together.
    • This is also the first time Sparky morphs into a fish with Cosmo, Wanda, and Poof.
  • The plot of this episode is similar to "Action Packed" from back in Season 2 -- in "Action Packed," Timmy had wished the world was like an action movie that he and his parents saw, while in this episode, Timmy wished his dad's life was like an action that they and Mrs. Turner saw. Coincidentally, they use the same music for their title cards.
  • Both Chet Ubetcha and Sparky break the fourth wall during the black screen. Chet Ubetcha says that a toilet just automatically exploded, but then Sparky made him explode by using a ray. Sparky then goes "Booyah!" to the viewers, surprising them.
    • Also, Cosmo goes "Booyah!" to the viewers again to surprise them, as he spend a day doing laundry, but it was not his laundry.
  • Francis was originally going to be in this episode along with Chester and A.J. but they were scrapped from the episode for unknown reasons.

  • James Bond - This episode is a reference to this.
  • The Amazing Spider-Man 2 - The eels that electrified the Foe Agents and gave them superpowers might be a homage to Electro who fell into a water tank filled with genetically modified eels and mutated him into a living generator.
