Goofs
- While Chum Chum is bouncing through town, his hair style is flipped.
- When Duke and Michael say that they're bored, the wall behind the students is blank. When the kids hear the ground rumble, posters appear on the wall out of nowhere. They then stay there for the rest of the scene.

- At 13:22 when Chum Chum starts to grow, his shirt and tights are already shreaded, despite they will rip just a few seconds later.
Allusions

- Godzilla - Fanboy called Boog Shlizetti "Bop-Zilla", Which is the name is a parody of Godzilla.
- Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory - When Chum Chum turns into a Chulk, his skin turns orange, and his shirt and tights rip as he grows. This is similar to Violet's blueberry inflation, where her skin turns blue, and her belt bursts as she swells up.
- Spongebob Squarepants - The children got to bounce on Chum Chum (as a chulk)'s belly like how Spongebob once bounced on Patrick's belly.
- The Wiggles - When Fanboy sings The Monkey Dance to make Chum Chum laugh, it is a reference to one of the songs from the Australian preschool band, which is based on a song from the Sydney pop band The Cockroaches.
