Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDuring the end credits, an animated version of a character resembling Nikola Tesla appears looking down on Thomas A. Edison. Tesla was a genius whose credit was overshadowed by Edison, Tesla's employer, who took patent and financial credit for a number of Tesla's inventions. In recent years, Tesla has finally been getting the credit he deserves, which is arguably why he has a look of disdain towards Edison.
- GoofsSubstitute teacher Mr. Dinkler incorrectly acknowledges Thomas Edison as the inventor of the incandescent light bulb. This is line with Mr. Dinkler's behavior of praising Edison, yet still the precursor of a light bulb, an evacuated glass bulb, was created by Marcellin Jobard in 1838. Nevertheless Edison improved previous designs and had success at marketing this invention.

Featured review
Among the best in the whole series
Having just watched this episode for the third time - the second after I rated it an 8/10 -, I felt the need to come here and upgrade it to a 10/10.
It has everything that makes Bob's Burgers so great, at least in my opinion: great music, incessant jokes and cleverly-written one-liners.
Even the characters whose idiosyncrasies I'm not so fond of, namely Gene and Tina, are amazing and very well-used in this one.
Schaal is always great, but here she's just *expletive* perfect!
Seriously - this episode alone should have awarded her an Emmy.
Or maybe I'm just on a good mood.
