* ForgottenFramingDevice: The episode starts with Brian and Stewie [[AnimatedActors out of character]] talking to the camera about the mail they've received, and the first [[ThreeShorts short]] shown is in response to a letter asking about the origin of the show. The framing device is dropped after that, showing two other unrelated shorts. This is in contrast to "Viewer Mail #1" where Brian & Stewie introduce each short, saying they were based on viewer suggestions.
