===Topics of Discussion===
<!-- Make some notes on what was discussed, attempt to group topics.
Format Example:
*Attempted to insert secrets into the episode to set up the future episodes and plan to point them out in the commentary.
**Secrets included the Nibbler shadow, at several other points the group randomly said "Secret!" despite nothing important being on screen.
*Simultanious countdown is a stretch.

Format Example:
*[[Billy West|Billy]] and [[John DiMaggio|John]]'s intro beat box.
*'''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.
*Dirtiest episode that they'd made.
*'''Unknown''': I think this is the first time we see Leela.
*The writers tried, and failed, to write an episode about [[Barbados Slim]].

*Instead of using any term for "lower horn" the commentators constantly make stupid noises.
**There was a debate about whether the "lower horn" on nose should be removed by poachers.
*There had been a [[Bigfoot]] reference in {{es|4ACV09}} until this episode became about Bigfoot.
*Last of the [[Episode_Commentary_Listing#Season_4|4ACV commentary recordings]], they are recorded out of sequence.

*Ron always has dancing in episodes.
*[[Philip J. Fry|Fry]]'s rants.
*Pointing out the unusual presence on a ''Windows'' joke, given that they usually have ''Mac'' jokes.
*The saucer is in reference to one from ''Close Encounters''.
*[[Turanga Leela|Leela]] might be an alcoholic.
*John forgot the possum was voiced by him.
*Fry was originally going to look at his reflection on [[Bender]]'s "shiny metal ass", but the episode was already too dirty, and it was a little awkward to do.
*It is proportionally harder to animate aliens based on how many more arms there are.
*Mentioning the items in ''The Beast With Two Bucks''.
*The voice over by Leela while watching the security camera footage, was added later in the process after deciding that they needed someone to identify [[Lrrr]] by name earlier in the episode.
**This is the biggest episode for Lrrr and [[Ndnd]]. He is always shown to be not quite on top of things.
*"My nose, light of my face" is in reference to a line in ''Lolita''.
*Pine trees may have been cloned since "[[Xmas Story]]".

*'''Rich Moore''': We saved so much money not having to draw Fry with a nose.<br/>'''David''': Reduced your pencil mileage, as they say.
*'''Rich Moore''': What?! "This device was enjoyable to think about"?
*'''John DiMaggio''': Even Matt's laughing at that. That's how stupid that is. You do it enough, it finally gets you. That's the way my style of comedy is. I shove it right down your throat!<br/>'''Rich Moore''': Johnny D. style.<br/>'''John DiMaggio''': Whoa, relax! It's comin.'
*'''Ron Weiner''': Seemingly good naturalists are bad and seemingly bad monsters are good.
