* ActorAllusion: At the end of the Roger Miller episode, Roger reveals that he knows all about cluckitis because he had it once. Six years earlier he voiced the singing rooster Alan-a-Dale in Disney's ''WesternAnimation/RobinHood1973'' – maybe that was when he had it.

* BaitAndSwitch: Over the course of the episode, cluckitis causes the cast to transform into chickens one by one. When Statler and Waldorf appear for the stinger at the end of the credits, are they also transformed? Yes -- into prairie dogs.
