Topics of Discussion
- Actual episode writer was unavailable for the commentary, due to work commitments in New York.
- A representative of the Environmental Media Awards suggested entering this episode for the 2003 ceremony. It secured a nomination but not a win.
- The Educational Film None Like it Hot! is inspired by old Bell Lab videos.
- Ken used to work for Bell Labs
- David's Dad often asked for him to do a global warming episode.
- One of the shortest first acts in Futurama history.
- Matt requested that there be a reaction to the president calling them.
- Halley's Comet is brown due to the removal of all the ice.
- Discussed the correct pronunciation of "Halley"
- Design of the space suits compared to the ones used at Luna Park.
- There are a lot of jokes in Futurama in which someone makes a statement about a grave danger, followed immediately by a joke about it, followed by the end of an act. Usually, Bender is responsible.
- The sweat on characters.
- Maurice read Al Gore's character at the table reading, with Kristin Gore in the room.
- During Gore's presidential campaign he called the Futurama offices to talk to his daughter Kristin but somehow ended up on the line with a room full of writers.
- The mirror's beam was originally going to destroy an ant planet.
- 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.
