Title pictures:

The Trouble With Triplets: Maximus holding onto three babies which are all crying
Spider Betty: A huge spider web with a little red spider in the middle of it (edit)
"The Trouble With Triplets" is on the DVD "Betty to the Rescue!" (edit)
The three superpowered beings Maximus used DNA from to create the Betty clones were Optica The Fire Witch, Destructa The Rock Princess, and Roxanne The Rubber Woman. (edit)
The colors of the Betty clones are:
- Rock Betty - Orange/Brownish
- Fire Betty - Red
- "Stretch-O" Betty - Blue. (edit)
Maximus used not only Betty's DNA, but the DNA of three superpowered beings from his planet, thus resulting in their superpowers. (edit)

Quotes

add »
Betty's mom: (To Betty) I want you to play nice with your cousin. And keep him away from me, he's driving me crazy. (edit)
Betty: Sparky, you didn't fix the ship.
Sparky: Well there was a giant spider attacking me. (edit)
Sparky: That spider is off my Christmas list. He's a little monster. (edit)
Betty: Can we go now? I've got a missing watch droid and a cousin who won't leave me alone! (edit)
Sparky: Who's up for a space walk?
(The Bangoons disappear)
Sparky: I don't care if you're invisible, you're still coming! (edit)

Trivia

add »
There was an error in the closed captioning. When Betty says, "I have a missing watch droid and a cousin who won't leave me alone", the closed captioning says, "I have a missing watch droid and a cousin who won't stop pestering me". (edit)
X-5 says that without hyperboosters it will take 1.35 million light-years to reach the outer galaxy. But a light-year is a unit of distance, NOT time. (1 light-year=the distance light travels in a year, approximately 5,878,000,000,000 miles.) (edit)
Human hair only has DNA at the roots, so Maximus couldn't have cloned Betty from clipping a lock, he'd have to have pulled it out. Unless Betty has dandruff. (edit)
Those purple aliens turn invisible when they get scared, yet they didn't do it in "The Ghost Ship of Aberdeffia" when the Ghost Captain attacked their ship. (edit)

Allusions

add »
Final Dance: The moves Betty do during her dance at the end of The Trouble with Triplets, looks like the movements Michael Jackson does in his music video Thriller. (edit)
Episode Title: The Trouble With Triplets
The title is a play on a popular episode of the original Star Trek series, "The Trouble With Tribbles". Tribbles are purring balls of fur that seem harmless, but do nothing but eat and multiply. (edit)
Betty Clones: Appearance & Powers
The Clone Bettys powers imitate three members of the superhero group, The Fantastic Four: "Stretch-O" Betty is like Mr. Fantastic, Fire Betty is like The Human Torch, and Rock Betty is like The Thing. If a fourth clone were introduced, she likely would have had invisibility powers like The Invisible Girl. (edit)
Laser Swords: Appearance
Maximus's flashback of him and Betty fighting with laser swords is clearly inspired by Star Wars with its constant lightsaber duels (note that Betty's sword was green, as a Jedi's typically is, while Maximus's sword was red, as a Sith lightsaber always is). (edit)
