Trivia/Goofs

 * Moral: Everyone is smart in their own way.
 * Experiment 099 (Spot) was originally supposed to appear in this episode, but was removed.
 * When Jumba got pricked by one of Spike's spines, he did not act stupid since he was already a genius, possibly indicating that people with very high IQs are not affected as much.
 * In this episode, Bonnie has six fangs (four on the top and two on the bottom), instead of normally two fangs.
 * Only Spike, Fibber, Nosy, Bonnie, Clyde, Slushy and Splodyhead were seen at Pleakley's E.A.R.W.A.X. group, but in one scene, you can clearly see Yaarp hiding under the couch.
 * Most of the above experiments had bored and/or displeased facial expressions (excluding Nosy and Fibber), hinting that they were unmoved by Pleakley's therapy seminar.
 * Spike is one of the few known experiments to be rehabilitated by someone other than Lilo and Stitch.
 * At the Ohana-Rama, the last names of Lilo and Mertle's families (Pelekai and Edmonds) are not used at all.
 * This episode reiterates the humans' blindness to the aliens, which they believe do not exist, even though there were five aliens at the Ohana-Rama in plain sight. Regardless, Lilo should have known better than to answer "yes" to the alien question.
 * Gantu, Reuben and Hämsterviel do not appear in this episode.
 * This episode seems to chronologically take place after "Snafu", considering the fact that Nosy and Fibber are present at Pleakley's E.A.R.W.A.X. group.
