Trivia[]

  • The table read for this episode took place on November 18, 2016 and was the last to take place in 2016.[1]
  • The title is a reference to the 1973 novel The Taking of Pelham One Two Three by Morton Freedgood (under the pen name John Godey), its two movie adaptations in 1974 and 2009 and TV movie adaptation from 1998.
  • This episode is a double holdover from the 7ASA production season. Despite having its table read and voice recording sessions before the Season 8 premiere, "Brunchsquatch", it did not air in Season 8 and eventually aired on October 7, 2018, in Season 9 nearly two years on from its table read.
  • Stills from this episode appeared in the official 2019 Bob's Burgers calendar released before this episode first aired.
  • This episode was written by former script coordinator and Bob's Burgers Comics writer Justin Hook.
  • Yuli's name appears credited for the first time after being listed as 'security guard' in previous episodes.
  • Gene reprises his "That's what I call my testicles" joke from "I Get Psy-chic Out of You" this time in reference to Calvin Fischoeder referring to him and Louise as "money twins."
  • Arcade games seen in this episode:
    • Some previously seen in "Burgerboss" (Moats, Ninja Police, Skeebowl, Battle Bellies, Dreamachine, Driving Fast, Karate Twins, Fuzzy Ball, Debate Heroes, Mega (previously Mega Man), Block Blaster, Hurdle Hero, the unnamed helicopter game).
    • Some previously introduced in "Can't Buy Me Math" (Raceway, Rock Star) and seen again in Adventures in Chinchilla-sitting.
    • The ones the kids focus on are (along with real things they reference): Louise: Johnny Snowballs (a bit like Skeeball), Zeke: Whack-a-toe (Whack-a-Mole), Darryl: Wheel World (Wheel-a-Win/Cyclone/Wheel of Fortune), Tina: Tipsy Tulips (Quick Drop/Slam-a-Winner/Monster Drop), Andy and Ollie: Water Blast (a real game name), Gene: Bucket Ball (a generic ball-toss game), Jimmy Jr.: Cardiac Arrest (a cross between Operation and Shove Ha'Penny)
    • Other games with visible titles (along with references): He Shoots He Snores! ("He Shoots, He Scores"), Leotards, a Manchester by the Sea pinball game (based on a 2016 film), Gum Dump, The Legend of Zelda Fitzgerald (cross between The Legend of Zelda and Zelda Fitzgerald), Civil War Land, Push for Cheese, Super, Wee Wee Sports (Wii Sports), Jeff Vs. Geoff, Hungry Tummy, Señor Kung Fu, Homework, Fastball, Punch Bowl (a fighting game set at the Superbowl), Dance Game (Dance Dance Revolution), and one that begins something like "Bad Hombre".
  • One of the games in Fischoeder's secret arcade appears to be themed around the alternative rock band the Pixies. It appears when Louise points to the first "camera" in the secret arcade. The game's title includes the letter P from the band's logo on the album Trompe le Monde and the side of the game features elements from the band's album Doolittle with the globe from Bossanova appearing where the monkey's head from Doolittle is.[2]
  • Mr. Fischoeder gets his face painted at the same face painting stall at Wonder Wharf seen in "Thelma & Louise Except Thelma is Linda."
  • Logan Bush and Choo-Choo both appear on the Bulletin Board of Banishment at Family Funtime. Another kid on the board appears to be one of the O'Brien brothers from "Thelma & Louise Except Thelma is Linda" but with blonde hair.
  • A toy resembling Mr. Potato Head with mouse-like features appears in the display case among the prizes available at Family Funtime.
  • The games Battle Bellies and Moats at Family Funtime still have Darryl's high score name DRL at number one, referencing his dominance over computer games first shown in "Burger Boss". The Battle Bellies game seems to have exactly the same three high scores as in Burgerboss.
  • The first egg laid by the chicken is probably being served on the burger in the closing sequence.

Goofs[]

  • Family Funtime only appears to be an amusement arcade in this episode unlike the Chuck E. Cheese-like family entertainment center seen in "Burgerboss". Where the party room was is the prize counter which was originally in the center of the arcade.
  • Gene's socks are colored orange and the soles of his shoes are turquoise in the first shot with the kids after Fischoeder introduces the executive.
  • When Jimmy Junior is taking his bag of tickets to the ball pool, the arcade game "MEGA" behind him briefly has a different name. This isn't fully visible but ends with "Twins", like "Karate Twins" three places to its left. The game in the same position as this one also has continuity errors in Burgerboss.
  • In early shots of the episode (for example when the Belcher kids are admiring the Dune Buggy), the Dreamachine arcade game has its name spelled as "Dream Machine" instead.
  • When Trip is unplugging Johnny Snowballs, the Moats machine goes back to looking how it did in Burgerboss, complete with the old high scores.
  • The three security camera views are impressively synchronized, but the bottom left corner of the bottom left one shows the wall erroneously continuing straight on, and an extra green game that isn't there in the rest of the episode.
