Trivia

Also, Billy filled in for David as Scruffy for the Comic-Con live table read of "Futurama Returns".
- The orange part of his outfit is light blue in "Lrrreconcilable Ndndifferences".
- He appeared in both the eleventh episode of the seventh broadcast season, "Lrrreconcilable Ndndifferences", and the eleventh episode of the eight broadcast season, "Cold Warriors".
- The two episodes where he has (apparently) been killed, "Möbius Dick" and "Cold Warriors", were both written by Dan Vebber.
