Trivia

General

• Unlike what Mr. Krabs says, SpongeBob actually has been late to work in the past. However, he might simply have forgotten because he is old and SpongeBob didn't come late often anyway.
• Squidward is happy about SpongeBob's presumed death, despite feeling guilty about accidentally sentencing SpongeBob to death in "Dying for Pie." However this might also be because Squidward's hatred grew so much over the time, due to being constantly annoyed by him.
• When this episode first aired, it was paired up with "Senior Discount." 
• The con man says that there's no more models of SpongeBob's alarm clock, but in The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, SpongeBob has his alarm clock. However he might have just managed to get the alarm clock back on other ways.
• This Marks Death Clock (C) for the first time since Stuck in the Wringer, 9 in a half years in absence.
• This episode, along with Senior Discount, revived the series from a streak of premieres that got less then one million viewers.

Cultural references

• The Persistence of Memory, made by Spanish artist Salvador Dalí, appears when SpongeBob's Rube Goldberg machine is transporting SpongeBob to work.
  • This is the second time this painting has been referenced in the series. The first time was in "Atlantis SquarePantis."
