[edit] Trivia

• Heffer made sci-fi references to films: Aliens, The Day the Earth Stood Still and Soylent Green.
• Staff writer Martin Olson, director Jeff "Swampy" Marsh and writer-artist Dan Povenmire created the story of "High-Five of Doom" after show creator Joe Murray made a funny rule that no characters in the show could ever "high-five" one another, which was at the time often used in hack cartoons as a lame button to end a scene which otherwise had no ending.
