No Time Like the Present/Trivia

==Trivia==
*This the first episode to show Handy's house from the outside, though the inside is nothing like the one in Shard at Work. The Mole is also seen living in the same building. It is possible that the building that Handy and The Mole share is an apartment or that they are roommates.
*Every death in this episode involves the head.
*Every character in this episode survives in the episode that aired after this one, By The Seat Of Your Pants.
**Surprisingly, Truffles, who frequently survives, does not.
*This is the last episode of 2012; the next episode, By The Seat Of Your Pants, would air two and a half months later.
*This is one of the many episodes to take place entirely at night.
*Handy is responsible for every death in this episode.
*This episode marks the third instance of a character dressing up like Santa Claus. The first was Lifty in Easy For You to Sleigh, the second was Pop in Clause For Concern, and the fourth time would be Lumpy again in Just Be Claus.
*This episode marks the third instance of The Mole getting decapitated. The first is in Home Is Where the Hurt Is and the second is in All In Vein.
*As with Bottled Up Inside, this episode's trailer shows a character's injury, despite the episode itself not being fully released.
*Truffles can be seen behind a tree when The Mole's head lands on a snowman.
*The Blurb version of Shard at Work was released on YouTube the same day this episode aired.
*When The Mole is watching TV, what sounds like a human voice being played in reverse can be heard.
*In Handy's apartment, there are pictures of tools, and in The Mole's, there are upside-down pictures of Generic Tree Friends.
*The credits of this episode are Christmas-styled. For example, it says "Carolers" instead of "Voices".

*This episode is similar to Brake the Cycle:
**Both episodes star a beaver character.
**Both episodes are season 3 episodes.
**Lumpy is a featuring character in both cases, and a victim to the starring character.
**A mute character has a death that involves their head (The Mole here, Mime in Brake the Cycle).
**The thumbnails spoil something.
**No female characters appear.
**One character with an appearance role survives (Truffles here, Cro-Marmot in Brake the Cycle).
**The beaver character causes each character's death (including their own).
*These non-Christmas related items can be seen on The Mole's Christmas tree:
**a pair of scissors
**a spoon
**a chicken leg
**a pencil
**a spatula
*This episode was uploaded on YouTube before Bottled Up Inside, despite the latter airing first.
*Handy's starring card in this episode is different from his starring card in I Nub You. The "H" is blue instead of orange and the trees are absent.
*Handy, The Mole, and Lumpy die in the reverse order they do in Don't Yank My Chain, Concrete Solution and A Hole Lotta Love.
*There are no female characters in this episode. Giggles' voice can be heard in the record player; however, the song is from Oh Xmas Tree, and therefore does not count.
*Nobody survives in this episode, not counting Truffles' cameo.
*The thumbnails on YouTube and mondomedia.com both spoil Handy's injury before death.
==Cultural References==
*The phrase "no time like the present" means that it is better to do something right now than later.
*The song heard on The Mole's record player is Cuddles, Giggles, Toothy, and Lumpy singing "O Christmas Tree" (which can be heard in the short Oh Xmas Tree).
==Superlatives==
*Handy's injury before death is similar to Russell's injury in You're Kraken Me Up, as both injuries involve a character's body being forced through a small space.
*Lumpy's death is similar to Cuddles' death in Party Animal, Handy's death in Who's to Flame? and in A Handy Nanny, Toothy's death in Mime and Mime Again, and Pop's death in Havin' A Ball.
*Handy's death is similar to Cuddles' injury in Class Act and death in Ipso Fatso and Sniffles' death in Suck It Up.
