Desiree is the second ghost whose human life is revealed, the first was Poindexter in the previous episode, "Splitting Images". (edit) The name of this episode must come from Desiree granting wishes and giving people "what they want." Apparently, she also grants wishes when someone says "I want" and not just "I wish." (edit) Look Hard: At the very end of the episode, when Sam is bringing Danny & Tucker soup, you can see that Danny is wearing bunny slippers. (edit) Butch Hartman probably got the idea for the character of Desiree from his other television show, The Fairly Oddparents, since Cosmo and Wanda AND Desiree all grant wishes when they hear "I wish." The name may also come from the word "desire," which is one letter away from Desiree, and she grants the desire of someone's heart. (edit) The control box next to the Fenton Portal keeps on disappearing and appearing throughout the episode. (edit)

Desiree: No man may lay a hand on me unless I wish it!
Danny: Ya How 'bout a fist? (edit) Tucker: (Narrating) Tucker Foley. Digital journal: Saturday. They say be careful what you wish for. To that, I'd like to add a big fat 'duh,' especially when it comes to best friends, 'cause I couldn't wish for a better one. (Tucker and Danny sneeze simultaneously)
Sam: (Bringing Danny & Tucker hot soup) Geez, do you guys have to share everything?
Danny: You don't know the half of it.
(Danny & Tucker smile at each other) (edit) (After the football game; Tucker is hanging upside down in the mascot suit)
Tucker: Oh, man. Every time Danny goes ghost, I get the short end of the stick.
Jock #1: Hey, look guys, a raven piñata!
Jock #2: Let's beat it until the candy comes out!
(Takes out sticks; Tucker looks mortified) (edit) Danny: (Sardonically, after being trod on by football team) Fill in for the mascot. It'll be fun. You'll meet cheerleaders... (edit) Tucker: (After Danny tried to overshadow him) Don't ever do that again, get it?!
Danny: Got it.
Tucker: Good! (edit)

When Danny asked Tucker how he got his ghost powers, Tucker says "Who knows? Who cares?" But when Danny and Tucker were arguing (Inside Paulina) Tucker said DesirEe gave him those powers. (edit) Look Hard: When Danny is in the lab and he looks over at the Ghost Catcher, the ghostly glow on his foot is missing. (edit) During the slow-motion scene with Danny dodging Tucker's attacks, Danny's ghostly glow was missing in the entire scene. (edit) After the man by the fountain wished he had a million dollars and Desiree came to grant it,when they get a close up on Danny's face his hair is white before he goes ghost. (edit) In the opener when Danny goes ghost his arms already have the gloves of his suit on.After the rings pass the only thing that changed was that the arms got a darker outline and and the black part of the suit was added on down to his elbow. (edit)

Surfer Dude: Car
The car that the surfer was driving was a Volkswagen Beetle. (edit) Danny & Tucker: Fighting Scene
The scene in the science classroom where Tucker shoots ecto-blasts at Danny followed by Danny dodging each of them in slow motion seems to be taken from The Matrix. (edit) Tucker: (To Danny) Yeah, what’s the dizzle, Fizzle?
Tucker’s language by using words like, “dizzle” and “fizzle” is a form of slang invented by Frankie Smith in his 1982 single, "The Duble-Dutch Bus." In the song, he placed “izs” in the middle of word (thus making the word, “phantom,” “phanizstom”) and used the word, “izzle” to replace the last letters of a word (thus making “Fenton,” “Fizzle” and “deal,” “dizzle”). This style of slang has been popularized by hip-hoppers and rappers, most notably Snoop Dogg, E-40, and Missy Elliot. (edit) Mr. Lancer: Gulliver's Travels! I'm losing my mind! (Pants slip down) And my pants!
Gulliver’s Travels is a novel written in 1726 by Jonathan Swift. It is narrated by Lemuel Gulliver who tells about his travels to strange islands during a sea voyage. One island has very tiny inhabitants, another has gargantuan denizens, another has lodestone-worshipping citizens, another one is inhabited by spirits and ghosts, and another one’s denizens are a race of horse-like humans. The feelings of Gulliver during his travels relate to Mr. Lancer’s, mainly about how he is losing his mind. More Info (edit) Sports Announcer: Holy Mark McGwire, look at those arms!
Mark McGwire is a former first baseman in Major League Baseball who played from 1986 through 2001. He is considered one of the greatest pitchers and home-run hitters of all time. He is sometimes addressed as “the Babe Ruth of the 1990s.” His nicknames were “Colossus,” “Big Mac,” and “The Reptile.”

(note...Mark McGwire was a first baseman not a pitcher.) (edit)
