innuendo: when the tour guide says you don’t want to know, he was talking about poop.
This is the first time Mr. Crocker is seen giving out an "F".
This episode has a deleted scenes that was voiced and fully animated and then cut during post-production, where Timmy repeats that he is bored and can't focus, completely unaware of the skeleton marionette puppet Cosmo is dangling in front of him, to which Wanda exclaims "Jeepers! Timmy needs to work on his attention span." It was included in a video file on Nickelodeon's website at the time.
According to a press kit from 2001, this episode was originally named Shrinky Dinks, but it was changed, presumably due to Mattel owning the copyright to the name.[1]
Allusions
Tiny Tim - The title is a reference to the late performer.
The Magic School Bus - Timmy and various germs touring Vicky's body is similar to The Magic School Bus episodes "For Lunch" and "Goes Cellular" (where they enter Arnold's body to learn about the digestion system and to cure his carotenoids respectively) and "Inside Ralphie" (where they enter Ralphie's body to find out the cause of his illness and the immune system). Furthermore, when she accidentally ate Cosmo and Wanda, Vicky was eating "Cheeze Pantz", similar to Arnold eating "Cheezie Wheezies" and "Seaweedies" while he ate the bus in those two episodes. Both Vicky and Arnold have red hair.
Snow White - Vicky's kindness portrayal is a satire of Snow White, which was Walt Disney's very first animated movie even the animals helping Vicky clean up the house are a parody of the animals that help Snow White when she needs their help.
The Powerpuff Girls - The bacteria that surround Princess Protozoa bears a resemblance to the Amoeba Boys from the series.
Princess Protozoa: (very fast Valley girl voice) My interests include wiggling and swimming. My turn-offs are Penicillin and Antibiotics. But enough about me, tell me about you. (Timmy is shown writing all the things Princess Protozoa is telling him on a notepad)

Pettiness: Excuse me, this is a secure area. Who are you?
Timmy: Uh, I'm Bob from the, uh, central nervous system!
Vicky's Sub-Conscious: Hi Bob.
Pettiness: I'm Pettiness, that's jealousy
Jealousy: Why don't I have a suit like that.
Pettiness: And this is anger.
Anger: Hello, would you like a cookie?
Timmy: Sure.
Anger: Well, (changes voice tone from calm talking to angry shouting) SO WOULD I!!!!!! (Timmy is knocked backwards by Anger's loud voice)
Timmy: (upon seeing an empty seat in the working office) Kindness?
Pettiness: Never showed up for work.
Cosmo: We're in Kidney Land! Oh, my gosh! Look!
Cosmo and Wanda: It's Walt Kidney!
Pettiness: You're not from the nervous system!
Timmy: Oh, look it's obsessive convulsive disorder. (Guards and Pettiness gasp) Duh. (Timmy runs back to his shrink suit while the guards and Pettiness are distracted)
Vicky: What?! Cute little animals?! And they're CLEANING?! GET OUT! (Vicky's yelling scares the animals out of the house just as Timmy's parents drive back into their driveway)
