Trivia[]

  • Robot's invention(s): The Marf-terpreter.

  • Out of the many ways to sneak into Robot and Monster's apartment, Ogo is shown to climb through the trash chute.
  • This is the first time we see Ogo and Mr. Wheelie interact with each other.

  • It is revealed that Ogo sneaks into Robot and Monster's apartment even when they are not present, and we get a glimpse into the many activities he does that Marf blackmailed him with.
  • One of the flashbacks of Ogo's activities in Robot and Monster's apartment shows him bathing in their tub with a picture of himself, which is the same one Ogo tried to give to them in Adventures in Babysitting.

  • When Monster dresses Marf as a pirate, the hat and eyepatch make him nearly resemble the Captain from the intro of the Nickelodeon show SpongeBob SquarePants.

Quotes[]

(as Robot and Monster notice a fridge positioned above where Ogo leads Mr. Wheelie)

Robot: Mr. Wheelie! Look out!

Monster: Get off that X!

Mr. Wheelie: I'll stand on any X I want!

(Robot and Monster rush forward, Monster able to push Mr. Wheelie out of the way while Robot ends up getting crushed by the falling fridge)

Mr. Wheelie: (glares at the fridge that fell on Robot) That's what you get for shoving an old man!
