Trivia
Moral: In life there are no quick fixes, and not seeing problems doesn't mean they're not there.
Pixel sings "Gizmo Guy."
Originally, the scrapped song "Easy Way" was planned to be used in this episode.
Stingy and Trixie only appear during the Bing Bang Song in this episode. In addition, Bessie is completely absent and doesn't appear in this episode.
The game Pixel and Stephanie are playing involved monsters and jumping over things. There are obviously many games which involve doing such things, but the most famous is Super Mario Bros.
There doesn't appear to be any glass in Stephanie’s window. Either that or she ALWAYS leaves the window open. (This is confirmed in Dr. Rottenstein when Stephanie has her window closed for once.)
The chocolate bar that Ziggy comes up with when Sportacus saves him is the same one that Julianna Rose Mauriello poses with in a famous behind the scenes shot.
The scene of Robbie spraying icing on his cake is reused from the episode Happy Brush Day.
After the kids run out of Ziggy’s house, Sportacus notices Robbie’s periscope device and takes a closer look by peering straight into the device. It seems like Sportacus does not know what it is. But later on in LazyTown's Greatest Hits we find out that Stephanie knows what the device is for and that she can speak to Robbie through it.
Robbie contemplates using “Groucho Glasses” (the iconic old funny glasses and fake nose disguise), thinking it is a “great disguise”. But he decides against it because nobody would give him anything looking like that.
This marks one of the episodes with the rare instance when Robbie's disguise never gets revealed.
Two clips from this episode are used in the online game, "Pixelspix".
