Facts of Doom Edit
Cultural ReferencesEdit
- The restaurant in this episode, Krazy Taco, is based on Taco Bell.
- In the beginning, the kid who has apparently invaded Zim's 'perfect security' looks like Squee from one of Jhonen's earlier works, Johnny the Homicidal Maniac, and his own comic, Squee.
Trivia of DoomEdit
- This is the first episode where GIR is in the main storyline. The only other two times being GIR Goes Crazy and Stuff and Walk of Doom before the cancellation of the series.
- From what someone said during the episode commentary, when GIR says "Argh, where's my mouth?!", he was originally supposed to say something along the lines of "The pain, the pain."
- Zim originally told the elevator he wanted to go to the storage level, but for the rest of the episode he says the equipment room.
- Officer Prambly (who debuted in Walk of Doom) shows up again right after GIR sets the gas truck on fire, and he repeats his line from the other episode ("Get him!").
- The police officer who says "Must be one of them new ones!" is the same officer from Megadoomer. He sounds similar to Almighty Tallest Purple.
- In this episode Zim actually gets down on his knees and says "please," begging GIR to obey him.
- The events of this episode has the second-longest time span in the series itself, as it takes place over one year, although it's possible that it was a simple exaggeration. The longest time span in an episode itself was The Most Horrible X-Mas Ever where a robot snowman tells kids a story of the worst Christmas ever two million years in the future.
- This is the fourth time Dib and Gaz don't appear and the fifth time Gaz isn't seen.
Things You Might Have MissedEdit
