Trivia

• This episode is like the SpongeBob SquarePants episode, New Fish in Town where a fish called Howard visits Squidward and they are annoyed  by SpongeBob and Patrick. Interestingly, the titles are similar.
  • This episode long preceeds that one, though.
• The voice of Josh is provided by Dana Hill, known for her voices as Charles on Duckman, Max in Troop/ Goof Troop, and Jerry in Tom & Jerry, The Movie, among other roles. In previous episodes of Rugrats, Hill voiced "The Cleaver Kid" (Momma Trauma) , Little Kid (Momma Trauma & Special Delivery) & Billy (Spike the Wonder Dog). In live-action roles, she was best known as Audrey Grizwold in National Lampoon's European Vacation (1985). Unfortunately, Dana Hill died of a stroke brought on by her severe diabetic condition on July 15, 1996, while at the age of 32. 
• Josh could have killed the babies if he had jump on them with the game of "pillows" since he's older and chubbier than them.
