Notes

add »
Goof: In the "Wig of Why", after Lazlo gives Lumpus' prediction, he takes of his wig. When giving Raj's and Clam's prediction, he puts back his wig with his hat under it. Later, when he takes off the wig later, the hat is gone! It isn't there because when Lazlo writes under the hat, nothing is inside. (edit)
The episode title Float Trippers is a spoof of the toys called Road Rippers. (edit)
Raj has a brother. (edit)
Predictions Lazlo made up while wearing the wig:

Raj - A visit from the legendary pink geek

Ping Pong - Allergic to prediction

Chip and Skip - Knowing that they sat down before having the wig covering Lazlo's eyes

Scoutmaster Lumpus - Dress up as a ballerina and wait for the chariot of light to arrive

Edward - Smiling for Lazlo

Sampson- Being hit with a volleyball (edit)
Aired the other way around, with "Float Trippers", and then "The Wig Of Why". (edit)

Quotes

add »
Edward: (after seeing Lazlo, Raj and Clam falling down the waterfall) Hooray!
Edward: (seeing the trio coming out of the water) Whatever. (edit)
Edward: Boy I'd give the shirt off my back to see those losers in harms way.
(Chip rips off Edward's shirt)
Edward: Hey what's the idea?
Chip: See?
(Points the trio hanging over the waterfall.)
Edward: Here take my pants, too. (edit)
Lazlo: Oh... Roses are blue

And violets are too

Candy is so sweet but not as sweet as,

Well, acutally it's also sticky just like your hair right after you comb it with your mom's comb that has sticky globs of hair spray,

And your cowlick gets all sticky,

And it won't go down,

And you look like a sasquatch all day.

I got the no-good lousy blues...

Oh... birds they got to swim

And fish they got to fly

Sometimes I feel like living

Sometimes I want to forget...

All about having to leave camp and go back to school,

And have the teacher call on me when I don't know the answer,

Because she has some kind of radar that tells her when I don't have a clue,

And I'm going to look like a dummy in front of the whole class,

Till recess when I can scream and have fun again.

And forget about the no good lousy blues----.
(edit)
Edward: A smile is for affection which I don't have for you, Lazlo. (edit)
Raj: I am not a robot, I am a juice box machine! (edit)

Trivia

add »
Major Goof: In the end credits, the only female character that appeared in the episodes was Miss Mucus. At the credits, if you look closely, Jodi Benson is credited to be the voice of Miss Mucus but is Jill Talley who does her voice! (edit)

Edaward gave his pants to one of the dung brothers...except, the only thing he was wearing at that point was a shirt. (edit)
When Edward is talking about the perdiction at the end of the show while standing at the hole, his neck turns orange for a split second. (edit)
