Trivia[]

  • It is confirmed that Robot may have a dislike for his father when he shows great admiration for Lev in this episode.
  • Nessie actually says "Oh, my God!" in this episode, a term that is barely used in TV-Y7 cartoons. That is often considered a form of atheism, but it is not the first time as the episode "Feelin' Roovy" from fellow Nicktoon Planet Sheen contained a scene where Sheen used it. It's not that easy to actually find out, since at the same time, plates fall off (possibly as a censor of some sort).
  • It is revealed that Monster never went to college because Lev spent a mass amount of money for his horns.
  • Even though the episode is called 'Hornica', we don't actually see what happens at Hornica although the scene of the said holiday was shown for a few seconds at the end of the episode, therefore making the episode itself have a misleading title.
  • An interesting note is that in a later episode, one of Monster's horns was amputated from him in Grandma's Day Out, yet he was able to place it back on.
  • Lev's horns are the same ones Robot wears in the episode's title-card.
  • When Robot takes a hornless Monster outside to help stifle his anxiety, a little girl offscreen is heard saying 'Mommy, I'm scared!" Her voice is very similar to Globitha's, which is mainly due to Cree Summer doing the voice.
  • Robot's invention(s): Horn-producing machine.
  • Without his horns, Monster looks very similar to Coffee Bean from Regular Show.
  • Toward the end of the episode when the Hornica Games are taking place, a few Mechanicals are seen in the crowd.
  • Robot is shown to own a pair of reading glasses, although when he is shown reading in other episodes, he doesn't have them in his possession.
  • This is the second time dollar signs appear on Hal Worth-A-Ton's face. The first time was in The Blimp.
  • When everybody makes fun of Monster, Perry is shown by his arm pointing at him, making it the first time where Perry doesn't make a full appearance on screen.
  • The name of "Hornica" might be a pun on Hanukkah as the names sound very similar, and both are holidays.
