Fun Facts
Trivia
- This is the only toon on the site that does not have a loading screen.

Inside References
- The page title "Superbowl 20X6" is a reference to 20X6.
Real-World References
- "Set it and forget it" is the tag line for the Showtime Rotisserie from Ronco.
- Other than the page title and filename (both of which use "superbowl" instead of "Super Bowl"), the game is not actually referenced by its name. This is probably to avoid issues with the NFL concerning the use of the trademarked name "Super Bowl." You'll find similar references to "The Big Game" in advertisements from companies every January when they suggest that their products are essential to your enjoyment of the Super Bowl, without paying the NFL for the rights to tell you that in so many words.
