'''Flotus, Flotus. What Do You Know About Us?:''' Dot sings about the First Ladies throughout history.

* TheDogBitesBack: The short ends with Scratchansniff finally one-upping the Warner siblings.

* BrickJoke: [[invoked]] The fake InMemoriam from the previous episode's "A Zit!" is done again at the end here as an apology from the staff for forgetting Bess Truman.

* MultipleChoicePast: The Beain was given three different origin stories in three different episodes of ''WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain'' ("Snowball," "Leggo My Ego," and "Project BRAIN"), all completely incompatible with each other. The reboot adds a fourth, equally incompatible origin to the mix.

* BelatedBackstory: The original series didn't go into too much detail about the pair other than they were genetically altered to be more sentient. Now, more than twenty years later, we finally get more of their origins.

** Despite being mentioned in the song, Martha Jefferson, Rachel Jackson, and Ellen Arthur all died before their husbands came into office, and aren't technically First Ladies of the United States.

** They also claim that there have been 45 First Ladies (one for each president up to the 45th President Donald Trump). However, Grover Cleveland is counted twice for his non-consecutive terms (#22 & #24), while James Buchanan never married and both John Tyler and Woodrow Wilson were widowed and remarried while President. Discounting those that died before their husbands' presidencies, and remembering Ellen Wilson means there have only been 42 First Ladies (not counting the female relatives of Presidents who filled in as White House hostess and unofficial First Lady). You only get 45 by including them while still leaving out Van Buren's wife Hannah, who also died before he became president.

* TakeThat: Brain says the Model B has every ''Film/HarryPotter'' film on-board except ''[[Film/HarryPotterAndTheOrderOfThePhoenix The Order of the Phoenix]]'', 'cause he claims as it has too much [[invoked]] [[{{Wangst}} teen angst]]. The touch screen even shows seven icons with numbers [[Film/HarryPotterAndThePhilosophersStone 1]] through [[Film/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallows 7]], with 5 missing and 7 appearing twice as it's divided into two films.
