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.
Look Hard: When Danny is in the lab and he looks over at the Ghost Catcher, the ghostly glow on his foot is missing.
During the slow-motion scene with Danny dodging Tucker's attacks, Danny's ghostly glow was missing in the entire scene.
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.
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.
When Danny was next to the Fenton Portal, the cap on the Fenton Thermos was on, but after he looks at the Fenton Ghost Catcher, the camera focuses on Danny again and the cap is nowhere in sight.
There are many clones of the people at the movie theater when Danny scans around for Tucker at the "Dead Teacher IV" movie.
When all the football players stomp on Danny who is in the raven costume, there is a football player wearing a #4 jersey, but it was not Dash. Then when the camera focuses on Dash, he is wearing the #4 jersey.
When the four football players stomp all over Danny, his right eye is bruised, a tooth is missing, and he has a bruise on his face, but in the next scene where Danny appears in the Ravens costume, his bruises are gone and his tooth is back in place.
When Danny goes ghost in the cinema, his white ghostly glow is missing.
Desiree has one pink bracelet and one blue bracelet. However, when she was granting Tucker's wish in the movie theater, both of her bracelets were blue.
When Tucker's body changes, his pants and shirt are ripped, yet when Danny saves him by splitting the human and ghost halves, Tucker's clothes are undamaged.
Desiree: No man may lay a hand on me unless I wish it! Danny: Ya How 'bout a fist?
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)
(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 piƱata! Jock #2: Let's beat it until the candy comes out! (Takes out sticks; Tucker looks mortified)
Danny: (Sardonically, after being trod on by football team) Fill in for the mascot. It'll be fun. You'll meet cheerleaders...
Tucker: (After Danny tried to overshadow him) Don't ever do that again, get it?! Danny: Got it. Tucker: Good!
Danny: (After capturing Desiree in Fenton Thermos) If I weren't a "C" student, I would have thought of that five days ago.
Tucker: (In Paulina's body) I just wanted to let you know, I'm gonna start dating Tucker Foley now, he's much cooler than you are, so stop chasing me. Danny: Tucker, get out of there. Tucker: Why don't you make me! Danny: Fine, I will! (Overshadows Paulina) Tucker, you're turning the whole school upside down, how 'bout giving it a break?! Tucker: How 'bout getting off my back and letting me have a little fun?! Danny: Because your fun is kind of mean. Now get out of Paulina! Tucker: I was here first! You go! Danny: No, you! Tucker: You! Babazita's genie gave me these powers and I'll use 'em how I want! (Danny comes out of Paulina's body) Danny: Then maybe I should have a chat with this Babazita! (Flies off) Tucker: Fine! But you and I aren't friends anymore, Danny Fenton! (Leaves Paulina's body) Paulina: What? Huh? (To nobody in general) And I never was friends with you!
Tucker's: (Narrating) Some people have a lot, and some people don't. Me, I've got charm, good looks, and modesty! But everybody's got something.
Danny: (About Dash, who has turned into a monster) I think he's running on ghost power, I need your help. Tucker: To kick some ghost booty? Danny: Sort of. Tucker: I'm in!
(Water squirts in Lancer's face) Mr. Lancer: Moby Dick! (As a ghost, Tucker takes off his belt) Mr. Lancer: Gulliver's Travels! I'm losing my mind! (Pants slip down) And my pants!
Danny: (To guy in flying car) Hey, slow down, Jeff Gordon! You're going over the speed limit, and the height limit!
Danny: Catch me if you can, Sucker Phantom! Tucker: That's Tucker Phantom! TUCKER!
Paulina: (To Danny, as Sayonara Paulina) Hi, I'm Paulina. I'm cute, swell, and full of big-headed anime goodness. (Short pause) Danny: Bye-bye, Kitty! (Uses the Fenton Thermos to capture Sayonara Paulina)
Tucker: Oh, sure, phase the car through the building, you had to save the day, didn't you? Danny: Umm... yeah, because a car smashing through the twenty-eighth floor of anything is bad! Tucker: You're just jealous, 'cause there's somebody else to grab the spotlight! Surfer Guy: Yo, hallucinations, focus! Danny: When have I ever grabbed the spotlight? Tucker: How about right now, for instance! Surfer Guy: Aaaahhh!!! (Car crashes into a barn of hay; under a pile of hay) Cha, there's a chicken on my head. Danny: Tucker, please, this is stupid. You're my best friend. I'm not jealous, I'm concerned. Tucker: Well, don't be! This town's big enough for more than one ghost kid! Danny: Tucker, wait! (Tucker flies off at super-speed) Whoa. Can't fly that fast. Is he getting more powerful?
Sam: (Sneezes) I'm sick as a dog and I hate sports, why am I here? Tucker: Because Danny's here, and he's got the best seat in the house.
Danny: (About the Fenton Ghost Catcher) This one actually works, a little too well... I'm filing this under "must avoid".
Danny: You might just have a cold, you know. It doesn't have to be a ghost cold. Jack: (Muttering as he walks away) I remember when I was that naive.
Apparently, Tucker is as good in sewing class as he is with computers.
Desiree is the second ghost whose human life is revealed, the first was Poindexter in the previous episode, "Splitting Images".
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."
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.
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.
The control box next to the Fenton Portal keeps on disappearing and appearing throughout the episode.
The following wishes were made: 1) Unnamed girl- Cotton candy 2) Dash- To turn into a monster that could crush the other football team single handedly. 3) Paulina- To be as popular as Sayonara Pussycat. 4) Tucker- Ghost powers. 5) Surfer- For his car to fly. 6) Man in suit- For a million dollars.(Ungranted) 7) Danny- For Desiree to disappear inside the thermos.
Desiree grants wishes using ghosts: She gives Tucker Ghost Powers, turns Dash into a monster, and in "Memory Blank," she grants wishes the same way besides when she erased Danny's powers.
Apparently, Desiree has to be the eaisest ghost to beat since all you have to do is wish that she'd be sucked into the thermos, the same for "Memory Blank," but oddly, in this episode and "Memory Blank," they have a hard time fighting Desiree.
This episode marks the first time that Tucker is seen without glasses.
Look Hard: The movie that Tucker was watching was called, "Ponies, Ponies, Ponies."
Look Hard: The name of the store where Tucker's head was sticking out on a plate was called, "Mr. Meat Butcher Shop."
In this episode, Desiree's tagline for when she grants a wish is "Your heart's desire is my command."
It is revealed that it is possible for a ghost to remove a ghost who is overshadowing a human, by picking the ghost out by hand, lightly zapping the human with an ectoplasmic energy blast, or as shown in the next episode, "Bitter Reunions," by literally pushing the ghost out of the human's body while being intangible.
It is shown that after Danny captures a ghost in the Fenton Thermos, he puts the thermos in a slot next to the Fenton Portal, which releases the ghost back into the Ghost Zone.
When Tucker got his ghost powers, his spectral glow was green.
This is the first episode in which Star appears in the opener.
After it was hinted in "One of a Kind," Danny confirms that his grade point average is a "C."
Look Hard: During the scene where Danny and Tucker pick up the skateboard wheels, in the background, there is a banner that reads, "Amity Park Swap Meet, SAT-SUN," and all the stores/attractions that were at the swap meet include: 1) Madam Babazita's Mystical Oddities. 2) Tool Depot. 3) Books, Videos, DVDs, Music. 4) Snacks-n-Candy. 5) Try Your Luck. 6) Skateboards. 7) Blowout Sale. 8) Kisses $1.00. 9) Dental Work (Cheap). 10) Sheep Seat Covers. 11) Car Stereo. 12) T-Shirts. 13) Caps. 14) Kebob.
Running Gags: 1) Dash getting dogpiled by the rival football team. 2) Someone sneezing.
Listen Closely: On the P.A. system, a guy announces the name of the movie theater that Danny and Tucker were at, "Googleplex Cinemas." Although in ""13"," Sam and Tucker went to a movie theater called "Amity Park Movie Plex," which looks very similar to Googleplex Cinemas.
Look Hard: The girls who were fawning over Sayonara Pussycat can be seen watching "Dead Teacher IV," which is ironic since they both seemed very eager to see "Sayonara Pussycat."
Desiree is the second ghost that has no legs. The first ghost was Technus in "Attack of the Killer Garage Sale."
Look Hard: There is a poster above the water fountain that Mr. Lancer was at that says, "Read, Don't be an Idiot!"
Apparently, Paulina is not fully satisfied with her popularity.
Look Hard: Star (who plays a much larger role and officially "debuts" in "Lucky in Love") makes two cameos in this episode. The first one is at the swap meet that Danny and Tucker were at during the opener: Star can be seen running away from the tidal wave of cotton candy. The second one is during the scene where Tucker is invisible and holding a lunch tray: Star can be seen right next to Tucker with a tray in her hand.
Look Hard: The following are Tucker's original grades before he changed them on the computer: 1) History - D. 2) Spanish - C. 3) Algebra - F. 4) Sewing - A. 5) Physical Ed. - F. 6) Computers - A.
Opener: In front of the school, Tucker starts narrating what happened at the Amity Park Swap Meet. He and Danny check out a genie lamp, but turn it down. A little girl with a balloon says she wants cotton candy, but her mother says no. Her balloon knocks over the lamp, and a genie-like ghost named Desiree comes out. She then throws cotton candy everywhere. Danny transforms into Danny Phantom and fires his new plasma blast at her, blasting her away.
This is the first time that Danny has overshadowed a female: Paulina.
Sam, Jack, Maddie, Danny, & Tucker all had a cold for a portion of the episode.
In all their years of friendship, this episode marks the first time that Danny and Tucker had a fight.
It is revealed that it is possible for a ghost to throw the ghost who is trying to overshadow them out of their body.
We learn that it is possible for two ghosts to overshadow the same body.
It is revealed that Sam's family is over-protective.
This is the first that Sam does not encounter the main ghost villain of the episode.
This is the second time that Danny had to fight one of his friends, the first time was Sam (as a dragon) in "Parental Bonding."
Danny's wish that his father would invent something that would turn him back into a regular human, which was mentioned in "Mystery Meat," comes true since the Fenton Ghost Catcher managed to separate his human and ghost side. However, Danny doesn't seem to want to turn back into a normal human anymore.
Tucker's fantasy about being in the girls locker room (stated by Lancer in "Mystery Meat") comes true in this episode.
Jazz is absent in this episode.
Tucker narrates this episode.
We learn that Sam hates sports.
Butch Hartman & Steve Marmel make cameo appearances as animated characters in this episode. They were the two announcers at the football game in the beginning.

Featured Named Invention(s): Fenton Ghost Catcher.
Major Ghost Debut(s): Desiree - The spirit of an Arab girl, promised her heart's desire but banished by the Sultan's jealous wife. Desiree is in some ways closer to a genie than a true ghost. She grants people's deepest desires. Unfortunately, her ghost powers leave rather unfavorable side-effects on the wishes she grants.
Main Villain(s): Desiree.
At the theater, there was a video game for Crash Nebula from Butch Hartman's other show, "The Fairly OddParents."
Surfer Dude: Car The car that the surfer was driving was a Volkswagen Beetle.
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.
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.
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
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.)
Dash: Appearance Dash's monstrous appearance looks very similar to The Incredible Hulk's. Dash had green skin, huge bulging muscles, a gruff tone in his voice, and an inability to think properly. Those all of reminiscent of The Hulk's.
Mr. Lancer: Moby Dick! Moby Dick is a novel written in 1851 by Herman Melville. It is narrated by a character named Ishmael, about a captain named Captain Ahab who has devoted his life to searching for Moby Dick, the whale that cost him a leg, and to kill him However, his vindictive obsession cost him his life in the end. Mr. Lancer saying "Moby Dick!" after being splashed with water from the water fountain gives a connection with the novel. In addition, the way how this episode was narrated in the first person relates to the first-person-narration in the novel. href=http://www.bookrags.com/notes/mob/SUM.htm>More Info
Danny: Hey, slow down, Jeff Gordon! You're going over the speed limit, and the height limit!
