Trivia

• This is the second time Tootie kissed Timmy, the first being the Oh Yeah! Cartoons episode, The Fairy Flu.
• This is also the first time that Trixie reveals her crush on Timmy, but it is not referenced in later episodes.
• This is the first time in the show that Timmy rejects Trixie Tang (which is obviously ironic compared to how Tootie and Trixie treat him, and even more ironic that Timmy's rejection made Trixie much more interested in him as she leaves many messages on his answering machine).
• This is the second time that Timmy is shown with five o'clock shadow, the first time was in "Action Packed".
• This is the 1st Episode we hear Timmy's belly make noises. The 2nd being Poltergeeks and the 3rd being Food Fight. In Food Fight, while Timmy is talking to Wanda, his belly growls because he's hungry. In Poltergeeks, poor Timmy's tummy roars twice wanting food. In this Episode, his belly gurgles because of Gas to which he lets out a fart.
• This is the first and only episode that Timmy farts in.
• It is revealed that if there is no love on Earth, Cupid and his cherubs will slowly lose power.
  • It is also revealed that if Cupid disappears from existence, then love will disappear along with it.
• This is the first time that Trixie Tang is shown crying.
• This is the first episode to have a title start with Love, the second will be Love at First Height, and the third will be Love Triangle, and the fourth will be Love at First Bark.
• A clip of the "It's Great To Be A Guy" song was included in the video game Breakin' Da Rules as an unlockable.
• Morals:
  • Sometimes our valentine doesn't have to be a secret admirer, a crush or a true love. It can be a best friend, a next-door neighbor, or a close family member too.
  • Sometimes rejecting someone can be hurtful.

Allusions

Butch the dog

• Cupid - "You're going to need lots and lots of love" scene is a parody of a similar scene in The Matrix.

• The Supremes - Timmy says "Stop! In the name of love" which is a reference to the group's 1965 song.

• Sam Hill - Cupid said what the Sam Hill which is a bad word replacement used to refer Sam Hill who was known to swear a lot.

• Butch Hartman - Written on a dog bowl is "Butch", a reference to the show creator.

• Berlin Wall - The Girl-in wall is a parody of the Berlin Wall which separated Germany into two pieces. Also, when Timmy said, "Let's tear down this wall!" it is similar to Ronald Reagan saying "We welcome change and openness; for we believe that freedom and security go together, that the advance of human liberty can only strengthen the cause of world peace.

Goofs

• According to Da Rules, it should have been impossible for Timmy to have wished the girls away because it violates the rule of true love. This may not have applied here due to it being a somewhat indirect violation.

Mr. Turner with blonde hair

Hey! Where did Mrs. Turner's shoe go?

• In the shots showing the whole Earth, the Girl-in wall is nowhere near California (where Dimmsdale is), yet that clearly isn't the case when Timmy and Cosmo go to tear it down.
• In the scene where the Girl-in wall falls, Mr. Turner appears with blond hair and lavender eyes (as pictured above).
• The love arrow Cupid gives Timmy will make whoever it's used on to fall in love with Timmy, but later, Timmy uses it on himself to fall in love with Tootie. In reality, that would mean Timmy would fall in love with himself, not Tootie.
• In the song "It's great to be a hairy, smelly guy." If you look closely when Cosmo and Timmy are singing the line "To eat, and burp, and fart, and spit and kill all of your food", you can see their mouths going above their eyes. It is also very noticeable if you have a VCR.
• Timmy and the other boys at Himmsdale grew facial hair while the wish of a world with no girls was in effect. This is impossible as they are too young to have facial hair.
• Timmy's facial hair is gone as soon he is placed into the love ninja costume.
• When Mr. and Mrs. Turner kiss, Mrs. Turner does not have any shoes on.

Production Notes

• Although this episode was aired on February 14, 2003, in the USA, it was produced in 2002 according to the credits.
