Additional Info
Allusions
- The title and the overall plot is a parody of the Herman Melville-penned novel Moby Dick, which was previously referenced in "The Day the Earth Stood Stupid", and the Möbius strip.
- Möbius Dick is also well known in the mathematics community as the answer to a pun-based math riddle: What's non-orientable and lives in the ocean?
Trivia
- The episode was for some time thought to be the broadcast season's second, but the announcement that "Benderama" would air on 23 June in its place[3] proved otherwise.
