Trivia

 * It was uploaded to YouTube in 2010, but Cartoon Network took it down due to copyright reasons.
 * Ben Bocquelet said he might add the episode as a special feature on a possibly upcoming The Amazing World of Gumball DVD release if another one comes out, since it didn't make the first, second, or third one
 * Many characters use old designs in this episode, making this, "The Mystery" and "The Curse" the only episodes in which characters use old designs.
 * A link to Gumball's 2007-2008 designs that were used in this episode can be found below.
 * Nicky Jones, famous for the voice acting on the show "Chowder," voices Gumball in this episode, but in the actual series, Logan Grove does the voice of Gumball in season 2 and Jacob Hopkins does the voice of Gumball in season 3.
 * In this episode we see Masami kissing Alan, but in the actual series, it has been shown that Carmen and Alan love each other.
 * According to the plan drawn in chalk by Gumball, Teri was originally a boy.
 * Ben Bocquelet uploaded the video to his Twitter, two years after it was created.
 * Gumball appears to be very intelligent in this video, judging by the plan drawn out in chalk.
 * Rocky appears to have an allergic reaction to pollen.
 * Carrie is much, much fatter in her appearance.
 * Leslie has blue petals in this episode, but in the actual series, he has pink petals.

Goofs/Errors

 * In the shot where Gumball smiles at Darwin, the other characters in the background are missing.
 * If you look very closely in the scene where Tina is catching the steak, Leslie's petals change from blue to pink.
 * In some scenes, the characters are there, but not moving.
 * When Gumball and Darwin are launched at Hector's butt, Gumball disappears for a couple split seconds.
