Trivia

  • In "Fry and Leela's Big Fling", Leela stated that her arm bracelet could only be removed via cutting off her arm. She takes it off without difficulty while packing her things.
  • John DiMaggio, the voice of Bender, provides the voice of Jake in Adventure Time.
  • Amy's mother, who was featured in the first promotional picture, was replaced with a random man for the episode. It's possible that the scene originally took place at the Wong Ranch.

Allusions

  • The name "Tex 1138's" is a reference to the 1971 film THX 1138, directed by Star Wars creator George Lucas.
  • Momsanto is a parody of the agricultural-biotechnology corporation Monsanto Company, previously parodied in "The Series Has Landed", as the Monsanto Corporation.
  • Leela letting her "hair" down so that Fry and Bender can climb up the tower is a reference to the German fairy tale "Rapunzel". Burt Ward also says "holy Rapunzel, Manbat".
  • Burt Ward tells Adam West that there is a duo there to rescue them, and West asks how dynamic they are. This is a reference to the term "dynamic duo", used to refer to Batman and Robin.
  • After Fry and Bender find Leela in Momsanto, Bender offers to "bend this wooden door" to get them out. Fry tells Bender that he knows he can't bend a wooden door. Then Bender does it anyways. This is likely a reference to the long-time, but inconsistent, gag from the BBC show "Doctor Who", the sonic screwdriver accessory of whose can affect anything but wood.
