Trivia / Tripping the Rift

• Actor Allusion: Chode is pretty much Buck Strickland if he was looser, more depraved, and had fewer standards.
• Cross-Regional Voice Acting: The series is mostly recorded with Montreal voices, with some of the leads and Season 2 guest voices recorded in Los Angeles.
• The Other Darrin: The character "Six", had five voice actors. First they cast Patricia Beckmann in the original "Love and Darph" short film from 1998, then Terry Farrell in the redubbing on Sci-Fi. Then the TV series jumped from Gina Gershon, to Carmen Electra, to Jenny McCarthy (who was not a fan favorite). Lampshaded on the interior of the DVD jacket, where Chode mentions that he changes her voice every so often. And by Bob in one of the couch gag openings, saying something along the lines of "Who's voicing Six this season?"
  • For most of his appearances, God is voiced by Terrence Scammell (who also voices Darph Bobo, Adam, several other one-shot roles, and also voice directs), but for "Chode's Near-Death Experience", the role was recast with Paul Reubens, who also pulls double duty as The Devil.
• Uncredited Role: Despite popping up in an extra role Once an Episode, Maurice LaMarche is only credited for Gus. Likewise, Stephen Root is only credited for voicing Chode while also voicing the occasional incidental part. All the other credited "Additional Voices" are simply listed in one large block that changes each season, making it incredibly difficult to identify who voices who outside of some guest roles, reoccurring parts like Benito, or bit characters also voiced by the main cast.
• What Could Have Been:
  • Six was originally an Ambiguously Brown gynoid in the pilot episode.^note  Wearing a gray latex dress with elbow-length gloves and thigh-high boots. She was drastically redesigned for the series. ^note  Being raceswapped from being dark-skinned to light-skinned and her outfit being made more revealing.
  • The pilot episode showed uncensored female nudity, whereas the show tended to cover up any nudity via conveniently placed scenery and objects.
