Goofs/Errors[]
- After class Dexter retrieves his red science book from the locker, yet in another frame before he closed it, the Science book is seen still leaning against his English book.
- While the locker is open, one of Dexter's conical flasks from his lab is seen at the top.
- An unused "History of the World" book is seen in the locker while it's open, but disappears when the locker is viewed from the inside.
- In some scenes, The Creepy eyed girl has missing eyeleashes or does not have them at all. Said scenes include: the time when she visited Dexter in the hallway and the scene when she was returning Dexter's book in his laboratory just before thinking of blackmailing him.
Notes[]
- When Dexter freaked out in his lab and the little girl said she loves him, his science book disappears.
- At the start, Dexter drops his book when he goes to return the creepy girl's bunny, but the next day, after the test, he has it back in his locker.
- The cute eyed girl and boy are references to chibi (miniature-cute eyed) style anime/manga that was popular among teens.
- They could also be a reference to a trend from the 60s/70s (which the song for this episode takes big inspiration from in musical style and visuals) of portraits depicting little children with big eyes and sad expressions staring directly at the viewer, particularly those made by the artists known as Eve and Lee.
- During the Dexter's Laboratory Top 10 event that aired during Cartoon Network's weekly block Cartoon Cartoon Fridays on August 16, 2002, this episode was number 7.
Cultural References[]
- The song "Aye Aye Eyes" is a parody of pop songs found in 1960s-1970s cartoons, namely Cattanooga Cats.
- The title card for the episode which shows the Creepy Eyed Girl's eyes reflected on Dexter is probably a reference of the 1993 psychological thriller, The Crush, where the film's poster has a girl wearing her sunglasses that is reflected on the main character, whom she too has a crush on, and won't leave alone.
Production Notes[]
