- A number of actual TV ads copied the film's minimalistic stick figure animation, most notably one ad campaign for Pop Tarts.

- What Could Have Been: There were plans to air the short as a special on [adult swim] in 2001; this was postponed to 2002, and even advertised on the air, but was pulled at the last minute. According to Don Hertzfeldt, it was advertised to air uncut, and when Turner Network censors wouldn't let an onscreen "Sweet Jesus!" slip by, the network simply cancelled the airing. Years later, the "My anus is bleeding!" segment would show up in an episode of Off the Air.
