Trivia[]
In Episode 9, and throughout the last episode of Season 1, Alfred E. Neuman has appeared in some of the animated marginals.
The Marginals are based on the "Drawn-Out Dramas" cartoons in MAD Magazine, which run under the Marginal Thinking Department of the magazine. More info is at the Wikipedia page section.
They are originally conceived and drawn out by Sergio Aragonés.
The first Halloween marginal in Episode 35 is a parody of Disney and Pixar's Monsters, Inc.
"Fish Reaper Returns" from Episode 49 is a parody of the Grim Reaper.
Mike Wartella segments are always after the first of these and then sometimes after Spy vs. Spy in the episodes that don't have an Animated Marginals segment.

The man with the "Danger! Quicksand!" sign from the marginal in Episode 4 is also featured in the opening sequence for season 1.
