Trivia[]
- The chalkboard at the beginning said "Vampire's Diary", not to be confused with the Vampire Diaries.
- The chalkboards beside Edward, Jacob and Bella in the opening scene said "I ♥ (With an arrow on it) Bella>" and "Bella + Puppies" with a puppy beneath it.
- In the opening title, the faces with symbols went as the following:
- Edward with bats
- Jacob with bones
- Bella with frowny faces
- There were 14 crowd laughs in all and one crowd ooh.
- When Jacob showed his equation, music from MAD Rebus Sentences is playing.
- Bart Simpson appears writing something when Jacob showed his equation.
- There was a sign on the broken door that said "We're too lazy to fix this."
- When Edward copied Bella's quote he said "Eh, why not" when Bella said "So sure. Why not?"
- When the dog (Jacob in disguise) took Bella and Edward's order, he sounded like Scooby-Doo or Astro from "The Jetsons".
- Also when the dog (Jacob) comes on the table and asks for Bella's order, it resembles Scooby-Doo and the Curse of the Lake Monster.
- At the end of the episode Bella's line was, "I'm bummed because I'd rather be working with Ashton Kutcher.", but in the promo for Episode 24, her line was, "I'm bummed because I have to do more movies with you two."
- The Big Fang Theory was a take-off of The Big Bang Theory, even though the characters in the Big Bang Theory weren't seen nor mentioned.
- In the Simpsons, Bart wears a red shirt and blue pants and shoes. But in this segment, the colors are switched, so in this one he's wearing a blue shirt and red pants and shoes.
- Instead of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, it was called "Diary of a Wimpy Vampire."
- Second time Diary of a Wimpy Kid was renamed, the first was 2012 Dalmatians.
- The Big Bang Theory was spoofed again in The Big Bird Theory.
- In Tom Richmond's blog post from June 7, 2011, he completely drew some character designs for the segment. Later in August 14, 2017, he added two more new pictures from the segment.
- However, Jorge R. Guitierrez did the animation for this segment instead when it aired on June 6, 2011 but thankfully, the character designs in the final airing are loosely based on his drawings.
