Topics of Discussion
- Episode had not aired at the time of commentary recording.
- At the time this was being written, there was a very big story in the news that President George W. Bush was planning a similar $300 tax rebate. But then there was a terrorist attack and everyone forgot about the rebate.
- One of the cigars' names was going to be a suicide bomber joke (script handed in on 10 September 2001).
- Episode is similar to The Simpsons' episode 22 Short Films About Springfield, which David co-wrote, but couldn't quite remember the correct name of.
- The film Nashville also follows a similar style.

- There was more offensive stuff about the stem cells earlier in the process.
- The Whale Biologist.
- Process of making the battle.
- Leela making a "karate noise" while doing something ordinary also happens in Crimes of the Hot. This was done when they had cut another joke or didn't have one.
- The security camera transition is from Blue from the "tricolor trilogy" by Kieslowski.
- The writers often had too much coffee.
- Only some of the hyperactive Fry talking required electronic speeding up.
- The vomiting noise had to be duplicated as they couldn't record enough of it.
- They attempted to get as many side characters in as possible
