Background Information[]
- Vanessa seems to know that Phineas and Ferb's pet Perry is the same secret agent who fights against her father. This is evident when she asks Buford to take Perry's food.
- Ferb mentions that Ferb-Vision is able to stream movies up to 273K, which excessively surpasses the maximum resolution possible of 8K for ultra-high-definition television by 34 times in real life.
- In reality, 273 K (kelvin; 0 degrees if measured in Celsius or 32 degrees if measured in Fahrenheit) is a temperature scale measurement, being the freezing point of water.

International Premieres[]
Errors[]
- Baljeet cannot stay up past 9:30 p.m., although he was previously seen staying up after midnight in "When Worlds Collide". Then again, he may have changed his sleep schedule between the summers.
- Likewise, Candace attempts to bust the boys, despite the aforementioned episode establishing that she cannot bust twice in one day.
Doof is still waiting for his oven repair schedule.
- The calendar shown in Doofenshmirtz's fridge at first is shown with four "X" marks in the first four date boxes, but after Doofenshmirtz falls asleep thanks to the chamomile tea, the calendar then shows the repairing schedule as seen in "Submarine Sandwich Submarine" instead.

Allusions[]

- The Joy of Painting - Perry throws the bowl of popcorn at Doof giving him a popcorn-shaped afro and beard causing him to resemble the late Bob Ross, who hosted this PBS series.
- Frank Sinatra - Buford's suggestion to hold the "Prank Sinatra" is a parody of the late artist's name.
