Reception
Additional information
Trivia
- This is the first episode to feature Kevin Michael Richardson as Url, succeeding the role from John DiMaggio.
Allusions
- The Professor intends to "reverse the polarity" of Santa's naughty-nice sensor, which is a common phrase used for technobabble in sci-fi media and first popularized by Doctor Who.
- At Kautzman's Second-hand Meats in 2801, the following labels of meat can be seen in the glass meat display:
- The penny that the Professor uses to reverse Santa's naughty-nice sensor is decorated with a picture of the Laverne Memorial, which visually resembles the Lincoln Memorial. This is presumably the show's way to honor Laverne Cox and her role in advocating LGBT rights.
- While the Professor travels backwards in time; Luci, Bean and Elfo from Matt Groening's fantasy animated series Disenchantment are briefly seen. This recalls a similar gag from the Disenchantment episode "Dreamland Falls," where Fry, Bender, and the Professor are seen traveling in the Forward time machine when Luci looks through a back-in-time globe.
- The scene where Zoidberg and Bender try to dissolve Santa's body with acid and end up dissolving the ceiling/floor is a nod to an iconic Breaking Bad scene, where the two protagonists similarly tried to dispose of a body with acid.
- Zoidberg's exclamation "Damn it, Bender. I'm a doctor, not a time machine guy." is a parody of the catchphrase of Dr. McCoy from Star Trek.
Continuity
- The time machine from "The Late Philip J. Fry" returns, now capable of traveling backwards in time as well.
