Motherboy XXX - Episode Notes

Episode Notes

  • The fast food restaurant chain Burger King paid Fox for product placement in this episode, which the writers decided to exploit as much as possible. The original title of the episode was "Tendercrisp Chicken Comedy Half-Hour", referring to the "Tendercrisp Chicken Sandwich" that Burger King was heavily promoting at the time.
  • A camera crew member can be seen onscreen in this episode. During the scene in the attic where Michael expresses his concern about the risk of keeping his father in hiding, a crew member holding a video camera appears on the left side of the screen very briefly. This occurs at around the 4:11 time mark.
  • Gob mispronounces the word "consummated" as "sonsummated" in the "On the next..." segment, continuing the running joke of his mispronouncing big words as well as mixing up words that contain the letter 'c' with the letter 's' (which he also does when he tries to pronounce 'circumvent' as 'sirsumvent').
  • Michael hits his head on the door when he and Buster sneak into the Motherboy reception room. This was actually a filming accident that was left in.
  • The members of the band Motherboy seen in the photograph are actually Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, Jeffrey Tambor, Tony Hale, and Robert Smigel, all heavily made-up.

Famous quotes containing the words episode and/or notes:

    Youth is the period in which a man can be hopeless. The end of every episode is the end of the world. But the power of hoping through everything, the knowledge that the soul survives its adventures, that great inspiration comes to the middle-aged.
    Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

    A little black thing among the snow
    Crying “’weep, ‘weep,” in notes of woe!
    “Where are thy father & mother? say?”
    “They are both gone up to the church to pray.
    William Blake (1757–1827)
