Trivia
- Every member of The Carnies is a fairy, except the Alligator Man, apparently.
- It's revealed that Timmy's parents can't get fancy stuff like the Dinklebergs because they spend their money on Timmy.
- This episode has a rare occurrence of killing being depicted on the show, when Mr. Dinkleberg's fancy grill slaughters a living cow into four steaks.
- One of the carnies appears to be an elderly man wearing a cape. It is unknown what has Timmy done that made him get angry at him.
- However, judging by the equipment that surrounds him, and the bowling pin he holds, he might be a juggler, considering that he was mad at Timmy taking his spotlight as one.
- Morals:
- Don't jump to conclusions until you have all the facts.

- Your parents will always love you no matter what, and will surely miss you when you’re gone
