- Carl: "It's a plane!"
- Jimmy: "It's a self-propelled android traveling at approximately 237 miles per hour."
- Sheen: "Oh. Sorry, Carl. What were you sayin' about Ms. Fowl?"
- Carl: "Nothing. Never mind."

Trivia[]
- The running gag in this episode is that other characters always have to finish Professor Calamitous' sentences.
- The newspaper articles on Calamitous' wall reference the events of "When Pants Attack", "Normal Boy", "Birth of a Salesman", "Brobot", "Granny Baby", and "Jimmy on Ice".
- This marks the first appearance of Professor Calamitous.
- This is the only episode where Cindy appears without a speaking role.
- This is one of only three episodes where Libby appears without a speaking role. The other two being "Maximum Hugh" and "Flippy".
- Hugh asking if Professor Calamitous (who he believes is a chimney sweep) will sing and dance is a reference to Mary Poppins.
- This is one of the few episode where Jimmy and Cindy don't fight or antagonize each other. Other examples include "Hypno-Birthday To You", "Safety First", "Nightmare in Retroville", "My Big Fat Spy Wedding", and "Lady Sings the News".
- Professor Calamitous' line when exiting the robot suit is a reference to The Wizard of Oz.
- When Sheen, Jimmy, and Carl sees Professor Calamitous flying, they reference Superman.
- In this episode, we learn that Goddard has a repertoire of 11,000,004 tricks.
- It's likely that both Professor Calamitous and Carl think that Ms. Fowl looks pretty "in the right light".
- This episode and "Beach Party Mummy" are the only episodes to hint at Carl's possible crush on Miss Fowl.
- The flying vehicle that Jimmy uses in this episode is the same one that Sheen used in the movie.
- The rocket in Calamitous' lab looks like the one Jimmy builds in Planet Sheen.
- This is the first time Goddard gets dog-napped. The second time will be in "The Junkman Cometh".
- Judy doesn't appear in this episode.
- This is because, according to Hugh, she is visiting her mother.
- Professor Calamitous' robot suit is not seen again until "The League of Villains" and Jimmy Timmy Power Hour 2: When Nerds Collide!.
Goofs[]
