- Needed a personal connection to the staff despite being a global issue.
- To produce the C-3PO-like voice, Billy West talked into a tea cup.
- The Sport-Utility Robot resembles early designs for Bender, especially the ears.
- The joke about classifying the Sport-Utility Robot as a light truck was briefly cut from the episode.
- At an anti-war protest Matt attended, there was a sign saying "Draft SUV drivers first".
- Bigger SUVs and guns are being released.
- Billy's imitations, instead of trying to be dead on, plays up the flaws and quirks in the voice.
- The episode has turtles and the Galapagos Islands, but the two are unrelated.
- Agnew was Eric Kaplan's idea. They are aware his ability to make sound is odd.
- Hedonism Bot was created for the line "let the games begin" and his role in the episode grew backwards from there.
- Bender has fallen down before, but all those times he was slightly on his side.
- The burping in the crowd scene was to be done by members of a group brought in to do extra background noise, but only one woman could burp on command, she had to do so repeatedly to produce the sound.
- Ending is similar to "A Big Piece of Garbage", the solution isn't permanent and the professor receives a prize.
- This would most likely give the Earth a more elliptical orbit.
