===Trivia===

-
*The [[FeedBurner Page#Short - On Break|RSS description]] of this toon is:<blockquote>'''Matt says''' - When you unintentionally create [[HR:sbemail73.html|three different]] [[HR:sbemail121.html|giant foam]] [[HR:blubbos.html|mascot costumes]] several years apart, you KNOW you're doing something right. Mike and I were walking from the car place to Oga's on a very pedestrian unfriendly highway when we wrote most of this short. There were lotsa car dealerships though, with all types of undualting, inflatable eye-catchers to help inspire us. Mike lost his flip flop crossing the 8-lane street and had to wait for the light to change to run back and get it. </blockquote>

-

*Strong Bad indicates that he, Homestar, and Coach Z are grown men; a rare clue as to [[Ages of Characters|their relative ages]].
+
-
*Just as it was in [[Blubb-O's Commercial]], the Gremlin's passenger-side window is completely opaque and gray.
+
-
*When the scene cuts back to the three mascots after the gorilla balloon, the "ball bath" balls have disappeared.
+
-
*When Strong Bad runs around at the end of the toon and in the Easter egg, the door on his costume [[Flipped Images|switches sides]] whenever he turns around.  However, the animation in these sequences seems to be intentionally poor.
+
-
*Even though Strong Bad says his "cigarette" is a white crayon, its tip seems to be smoking.
+
-
*Strong Bad has a much easier time walking in his costume than he did in [[part-time job]].
+
-
 
+
-
===Goofs===
+
-
*When Homestar is holding his alarm clock, there is a very thin white gap between the black border and the bottom of the green background.
+
-
*As Homestar walks away from Strong Bad, he vanishes shortly before he has walked completely offscreen.
