Line 8: }} '''"Prize Fighters"''' was the eleventh episode of season five of ''Daria'' (episode number 511). It first aired on MTV on June 11, 2001. It was written by [[Neena Beber]]. Line 31: ==Timeline headaches== Upchuck starting up "a dotcom" places this before the dot-com bubble burst, and written it would've been meant as a joke on how easy it was to set up a profitable dotcom ("''you've'' started a dotcom?" remarks Daria). ~~The~~Unfortunately, once the episode aired the bubble had burst months ago. ~~when this episode~~The first ~~aired.~~stories ~~The~~about ~~market~~it ~~started~~being toa bubble ~~look~~came ~~shaky~~out [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dotcom_bubble#The_bubble_bursts in spring 2000];, and Daria would've mentioned this to burst Upchuck's bubble (ho ho) if itshe'd ~~was~~been ~~happening~~aware ~~during~~of ~~this~~such ~~episode,~~stories. ~~but~~This ~~this~~episode is unlikely to be taking place too early in the year (if you assume this occurs in 2000). ==Trivia== * The Wizard Foundation, as a stereotypical "evil corporation" fronted by a racist, sexist "redneck billionaire", brings to mind [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ross_Perot H.

[[The Head (backgrounder)\|The Head]] appears at the competition ''in two seperate places at the same time'' * Danada is an allusion to the Spanish expression ''de nada'' ("it was nothing").
