Additional Information
Trivia
- Both this episode, which is the second-to-last episode of the tenth broadcast season, and "Viva Mars Vegas", which was originally planned to be the second-to-last episode of the ninth broadcast season, have Zoidberg as the main character.
- The title caption for the episode — "Not The Episode With The Dead Dog" — is presumably a reference to Seymour — Fry's dog. The episode referred to is most likely "Jurassic Bark", in which Seymour famously debuted.
- Emilia Clarke plays Daenerys Targaryen in the T.V. series Game of Thrones. She and Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane, who guest-stars in "Game of Tones", another episode of the season, used to date. [9]
- The blonde woman in the pink dress, seen at the NNY Recreation Center, resembles Stephanie.
- Marianne mentions a "falafel guy". This may be the falafel cart man.
Allusions
- Click here to see cultural mentions made in this episode.
- The episode's title is a reference to the 1811 Jane Austen novel Sense and Sensibility.
- Bender's bug bombs are named "Hal's Roach Bombs", a homage to American film and television producer, director, and actor Hal Roach.
- Marianne's flower stand is named "The Flowering Inferno", a reference to the 1974 film The Towering Inferno.
- Marianne's character may be a reference to the character Eliza Doolittle, from the 1912 play Pygmalion and the 1964 film My Fair Lady, who had a Cockney accent and sold flowers, though the plots of the episode and the play/film differ greatly.
- Bender's knee injury is a reference to the 1994 assault case where professional figure skater Nancy Kerrigan received a knee injury from fellow skater Tonya Harding.
- Bender's line "Together, we shall rule the galaxy!" is likely a reference to Star Wars' Darth Vader's line "Join me, and together we can rule the galaxy as father and son", from the 1980 film Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back.
Continuity
- The professor uses the F-ray, previously seen in "Fry and the Slurm Factory" and "Murder on the Planet Express".
- In "The Six Million Dollar Mon", his previous appearance, Roberto was executed. No explanation is given for his return, although it is likely that it is due to him having a back-up unit.
- The professor calls Fry Orange Joe. In "Fun on a Bun", the professor asked Fry his name, and Fry told him that it was Orange Joe.
- Randy's line "The robot has to go!" was previously spoken in "I, Roommate". Both episodes are also written by the same person.
Goofs
- When Zoidberg says "Nope", his eyes are white.
- Roberto runs away from Zoidberg's smell, but it was previously stated that robots don't have a sense of smell.
- Previous episodes have shown that Zoidberg can't tell the difference between male and female humans, yet in this episode he clearly can tell that Marianne is female.
- He may have finally learned to tell the difference.
