* CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot: Since Fanboy was only aware of the M.O.R.K. and not the S.M.O.R.K., he should've seen it or heard about it prior to the Frosty Mart visit so he wouldn't freak out and change his wish. Also, he should've stuck with his wish for the M.O.R.K., that way he wouldn't have gotten on the naughty list.
