Goofs

• When Linda walks into the shot when Bob is staring at the empty where the Burgerboss arcade game was, the first "5" on the Burger of the Day board overlaps her for a couple of frames.
• There's some continuity errors around games and their names in the arcade.
  • In particular, there's a game just to the right of Debate Heroes which is variously called "Puck Buddies" (perhaps a censored original name), Block Blaster, unnamed (just a pink bar), and what looks like "Mega Man" the majority of the time. In The Taking of Funtime One Two Three, the game next to Debate Heroes (then called MEGA) also has continuity errors.
  • While Bob's trying to get past Yuli at the entrance, the title of one of the games seems to flip left-to-right between shots.
• Larry Murphy is credited for voicing Tyler's friend ("Tyler's Friend"), but it is H. Jon Benjamin who voices him.
