'''TOMPKINS:''' I can watch baby Timkins while you go out prospecting for future ex-husbands.

'''MOMKINS:''' Whatevs little man. You can't even take care of your own virtual pet.

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*The [[Wikipedia:SAT|SAT Reasoning Test]] is a test that is frequently taken prior to entry into college in America.
*[[Wikipedia:Phencyclidine|PCP]], also known as angel dust, is a recreational drug.
*''Eau de Toilette'' is [[French]] for "Toilet Water".
*A "[http://www.dict.org/bin/Dict?Form=Dict2&Database=*&Query=gold+digger gold digger]" is a person who marries/dates for profit.

===Trivia===
*This issue is the first of its kind to use a [[Wikipedia:Cold open|cold open]] instead of starting immediately with the opening credits.
*So and So is not included in the opening, as she has already been shown in the toon.

===Remarks===
* When the toon was first released, the button on the main page said only "teen girl squad" instead of the usual "New teen girl squad!"
* The '2 pantries' are actually one pantry with a reverse image next to it.

===Goofs===
* Tompkins's name is misspelled as "Tomkins" through the entire toon, except in the Snack Mix sequence ("Tompkins' Parlor").
* When Cheerleader is saying to sneak in through the back window, the text reads "the through", while she says "through the".

===Inside References===
*What's Her Face comments about the loss of her [[style]].
*When Tompkins pushes the buttons on his Game Boy to feed his virtual pet, the text [[Mashing Go|"m.a.s.h."]] appears.
*So and So saying "I can't do another nickel!" is in reference to [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 11]] when So and So was in jail for shoplifting.

===Real-World References===
*Peacey P's voice and singing style is very similar to that of [[Wikipedia:Snoop Dogg|Snoop Dogg]].
*So and So's line "You'll microwave the baby!!" and the book of urban legends she is holding reference the urban legend of a stoned babysitter [http://www.snopes.com/horrors/drugs/babysitter.asp mistaking a baby for a roast].
*The lines about the Snack Mix prior to What's Her Face's demise are based on the board game [[Wikipedia:Cluedo|Clue]].
*The title of the short is a reference to comedian Robin Harris' "Bébé's Kids" stand-up comedy act. After his death, his routine was adapted into a movie, also called "Bébé's Kids", the first animated feature with a majority African-American cast.
*"Ding dong. Ding dong, yo." may be a reference to the video for "Fat" by [[Wikipedia:Weird Al Yankovic|"Weird Al" Yankovic]].
*Dangling The Ugly One over the balcony is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Vanilla_Ice|Vanilla Ice's]] claim that rap record producer [[Wikipedia:Suge_Knight|Marion "Suge" Knight]] hung him up upside down on a hotel balcony in order to get Vanilla Ice to turn over his royalties. This relates to the rapper Peacey P shown earlier in the episode.
*The way the other three Teen Girl Squad members burst through the wall is similar to the [[Wikipedia:Kool-Aid Man|Kool-Aid Man]]'s entrances.
*When the police arrive, and What's Her Face thinks she is in legal trouble, but all the police want is to watch the fight on Pay-per-view is a take of of the Simpson's Episode [[Wikipedia:Homer_vs._Lisa_and_the_8th_Commandment|Homer vs. Lisa and the 8th Commandment]] where Homer steals cable, and gets the fight for free.
