** A number of actual TV ads copied the film's minimalistic stick figure animation, most notably one ad campaign for Pop Tarts.
** ''WebAnimation/ASDFMovie'' would go on to use a similar minimalistic style, random and crass humor, and rapid fire segments like in this film. One has to wonder whether they either were inspired by, or outright copied this films format due to them being so similar.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: There were plans to air the short as a special on Creator/AdultSwim in 2001; this was postponed to 2002, and even advertised on the air, but was pulled at the last minute. According to Creator/DonHertzfeldt, it was advertised to air uncut, and when Turner Network censors wouldn't let an onscreen "Sweet Jesus!" slip by, [[IGaveMyWord the network simply cancelled the airing]]. Years later, the "My anus is bleeding!" segment would show up in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/OffTheAir''.
