Notes

add »
From what Mrs. Long says, Jake is very good at screwing up almost everything. (edit)
The way the gremlins are defeated is similar to the way the aliens are defeated in Mars Attacks. (edit)
This episode features the 'soft island jazz' of the "Hubba Hubba Hula" (an original musical number by series creator Jeff Goode and composer Jonathan Price). Jake lulls the Gremlins to sleep with his hip-hop/karaoke rendition. (edit)
Jake's mom is a wedding planner. (edit)
Jake's middle name is Luke. (edit)

When Jake's mom speaks to the caterer over the phone, she calls her Inga. But she's speaking to Uta. You can tell because Uta has a low voice and Inga has a high voice. (edit)

Movie Allusion: Speed
When the train crashes out of the subway and into the street this is similar to the final scene in the movie 'Speed'. (edit)
