Episode Notes

Opening theme cartoon: Unknown
Alien code: When Leela and Nibler get to Nibler's planet, you see a dome with two obelisks standing on each side. They have both Alien Code #1 and #2 written on them. Lucky for us, they both say the same thing. When translated they both read: "Yummy Tummy."
The message below the Pet Show sign reads "KIDS: See Toucan Sam's Death Mask."
The Hypno-Toad is favorite character. The sound that it makes is a recording of a turbine engine played backwards.
The books that Fry and Leela get trapped in are "Moby Dick" by Herman Melville, "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" by Mark Twain, and "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen.
Title:'The Day the Earth Stood Stupid'. This title is a parody of the title of the 1951 movie 'The Day the Earth Stood Still'.
