*C.W. McCall's ''Convoy''.
Format Example:
*Cut material included [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] on a CB radio and the crew returning from a delivery to Zang the Cruel, who flirted with [[Turanga Leela|Leela]].
*Attempted to insert secrets into the episode to set up the future episodes and plan to point them out in the commentary.
**[[Hermes|Hermes Conrad]] used to explain budget cuts and lost silverware (eaten by Fry) as a reason for the crew to start using jai-alai scoops.
**Secrets included the Nibbler shadow, at several other points the group randomly said "Secret!" despite nothing important being on screen.
*[[Sal]]'s gradual addition of more 's'es on the ends of words throughout the series.
*Simultanious countdown is a stretch.
*[[Pests#Owls|Owls]] have replaced rats, there are not supposed to be any rats but they forgot a few times and put them in anyway.

*Censors forced the ''Zero-G Juggs'' cover to be hidden by steam in one shot.
**The cover was originally dirtier.
*Comparing Fry's lead pipe to a man in real life who got a pipe through his head and survived.
*3D used on colon, blood cells and various other items within Fry.
**The episode overall took a longer than usual time to animate.
*Based on a true story, [[Eric Kaplan|Eric]]'s friend picked up a worm-like intestinal parasite in Thailand, that seemed to make her smarter.
*Difficulty of drawing things really small and regular size in one scene.
**Scale is often wrong in other shows and movies that do this, such as ''King Kong''.
*Pollen shape is based on a dog toy.
*Worms were not shown being killed because the writers thought they were nice guys.
**Explanation of the Worms' presence in the sandwich.
*There was a long debate about whether the crew should be shrunk down or use mini robots, the robots were chosen because it made more sense. Afterwards it was decided that Leela needed to chop the others up and Fry needed to go inside himself.
*The [[Holophonor]] i based on the visisonar from the ''Foundation Trilogy''.
*[[Rodney Clouden]] won an Emmy for storyboarding of the episode.
*The part about cellular/mobile phones damaging the brain was not medically substantiated.
*During the writing process there was an idea for Fry to sleep with Leela and the worms to take over her body and form a two headed being.

Format Example:
 
*'''David X. Cohen''': That's my parent's home address "405". It's a different street, but that's where the number came from.<br/>[laughter]<br/>'''Matt Groening''': Wow! Everything is of significance.
*'''Unknown''': I think this is the first time we see Leela.
