## Trivia

* This episode's "Starring" segment features a noticeably different intro, featuring extra instrumentation, including piano keys for Mop, an oboe for Mr. String, an accordion for Pad and Pencil, synths implementing the main theme starting from Doris, and an extended outro.
* Gary Yudman portrays Mr. String's voice noticeably differently in Slippery When Wet and Hot and Sticky, where he has a nasally infliction.
* Some of the episodes' title cards are oddly positioned, most noticeable in Sticky Paws, Sticky Stuck, Hot and Sticky, and the episode's title card.
* This episode's title card is different from all the others, as its topics are all blue, instead of being green, then blue, then green, like the rest of Season 1.
* Footage from this episode was shown in various bumpers and promos for the show:
	+ Slippery When Wet, Sticky Lips, Just Like Looking in a Mirror (Chel White; Fish), and Back at Mop's Mirror, Again (as well as various shorts from Loud, Soft, Shake) were featured in the first HBO Family commercial for the show.
		- Additionally, a deleted scene for Slippery When Wet where Pad and Pencil dance across the hall is used for the HBO Family promo intro for Non-HBO Family channels.
	+ The other Just Like Looking in a Mirror segment (Hunt Squibb; Inchworm) was featured in a later 1999 commercial.
	+ A 2010/2011 commercial for the show features footage from Slippery When Wet, Slippery, Sticky Paws, Sticky Stuck, Mop's Mirror, Bob Bounces Back, Mr. String Looks in a Mirror, Slipping Sliding Plush, and He's a Plush (as well as various shorts from Spring, Fall, Turn).
* Clips of Mr. String in *Slippery When Wet,* and Little Cup sliding down and splashing in a puddle in *Slippery,* were used in the "Starring" part of the intro. On a similar note, the clip of Plush shaking in He's a Plush, as well as Bob bouncing on Plush's body, were used for Plush and Bob's segments in the starring intro.
* The clip from *Slippery When Wet* where Mr. String says, "Couldn't have said it better myself" was also used in an HBO Family promo from 1999.
* In the *Mop's Mirror* segment where Mop makes herself a doctor, she states that she would have a really cool beeper. A beeper, also known by the name "pager", is a device that vibrates or beeps when it receives messages. It was pretty common back in the late 20th century. The popularity of the device has since declined greatly due to the rise of cellphones and smartphones, so this line could come off as dated today. Nevertheless, it has been said a great number of doctors/hospitals still use the device, but young kids might not know what it still is.
* In the second Mop's Mirror segment, Mop makes herself a "star princess", changing her hair to have two side buns. This is notably referencing *Princess Leia* from the *Star Wars* franchise.
* The second *Just Like Looking in a Mirror* segment is reused in Light, Dark, Bubble (the latter episode was produced later), where it was retitled "Fish Bubbles".
* Mop breaks the fourth wall when she says she could be a “TV cartoon character”.
