A new weekend taping session begins on this episode, and with it, a new set of Whammy animations as well. This episode marked the debut of the UFO Whammy, and the Michael Jackson Whammy. The Politician Whammy and the Native American Whammy would debut in the next episode. These are what I'd like to call "The Fourth Generation Whammies". Not to mention Laureen's hairdo looks a bit different, too.
