Trivia[edit]

  • The episode was too short so A Simpsons "Show's Too Short" Story was placed at the end. This was animated in a similar way to the Dark Stanley story from "Yokel Chords", with similar music playing.
    • The appearance of a stand-alone short at the end of an episode designed solely to fill time was previously employed in the season four episode "The Front" with The Adventures of Ned Flanders.
    • The artwork of the "Show's Too Short" story pays homage to Edward Gorey an author and illustrator known for his dark humor and also for his animated opening to the PBS series, Mystery!.
  • The source code of SpringFace is HTML.
