Trivia

 * There are two different versions of the original 1995 VHS having some of the scenes at the factory being rendered at a different frame rate.
 * Later copies of the original 1995 VHS, 1998-2000 VHS reprints, and the TV version have these scenes rendered at a faster frame rate.
 * The version with slower framerates was also carried into the Hindi dub of the episode.

Goofs

 * Several websites state this episode was released in 1998, which is false.
 * On the fence scene at the beginning, one shadow appears out of nowhere as the camera pans toward Papa Circle slowly.
 * Jimmy's mouth clips through the machine that makes the waffles.
 * Isaac, Tyler & Gabriel hover slightly above the ground in the shots showing them working behind the conveyor belt.
 * In the scene where the television screen shows up, the waffles disappear on every last frame on the conveyor belt.
 * As the trio is standing in front of the closed doors of Mr. Rectangle's office upon entering, only Tyler's shadow moves.

Wrong Goofs
This episode also includes scenes that people mistake as goofs.


 * Before the waffle statue is revealed, Isaac's mouth is just above his tie, although it's easy to see why it looks like his mouth is missing.


 * The furnace opens up with a dual door, however in the TV version, it was replaced with a single door.
