Trivia[]
- This death shares its number with Re-Coiled.
- It was a fictional death until on June 6, 2012, Dakota Ryman, 15, of Dickinson Twp., was killed while crossing the road in front of his house after retrieving the mail. He was hit by a smart car.
- In the DMAX dubs, Phillip Hersh's interview is extended. He also has an extra interview.
- Harold's actor also played Murph from S**t Canned and the unnamed umpire from Ten-Ass Anyone?.
- In fact, Harold rolling down a hill in the sumo suit may be a reference to when Murph rolled down a hill in a trash can.
- death is similar to that of Flippy's death in Happy Tree Friends web series episode, "Without a Hitch", Cub's death in Happy Tree Friends TV episodes, "As You Wish", and Cuddles' death in Happy Tree Friends episodes, "And the Kitchen Sink".
- Harold's death is similar to that of Steve's in Dead Light Green Light, And Shuggy's death in ReTired,
Goofs[]
- Continuity: After Harold got run over, there is no blood on his face and his eyes are closed. In the next scene, his mouth is covered in blood and his eyes are opened.
- Continuity: When Harold's workers are watching him rolling, Jen is to the left of the screen. Yet when his workers see Harold survived the fall, Jen is now to the right of the workers. Most likely in which case, the shot was flipped backwards.
- Anachronism: Smart Fortwo II was produced in November 2006, five months after this segment took place.
