==Trivia==
Daria didn't know Trent had a band before now
Several fanfics attempt to hook up Jane and Jesse, largely on the basis of a frame in this episode wherein they are both asleep, leaning on one another.
The Three Js complain about people with piercings earlier in the episode, despite them having their ears pierced.
This episode also set the tone for the Daria-Trent sexual tension. The idea, as explained once by one of the writers, was that Daria was so outspoken much of the time, but was rendered nearly speechless around Trent.
Line 44 ⟶ 46:
The title of this episode is derived from the film, [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082694/ ''The Road Warrior''].
The scene where the gang are stuck in traffic parodies the music video for [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rOiW_xY-kc Everybody Hurts], by REM which Trent himself then references. The actual song was included in this scene originally, but was replaced by stock music in subsequent versions.
This episode marks the first (and only) appearance of [[Curtis Stalano]], a classmate of Trent and Jesse's who works in a tollbooth.
Line 58 ⟶ 62:
Alternatively, "[[The Misery Chick]]" and season 2 can be taken as part of the same (incredibly eventful) year as seasons 3 and 4 - which strains credibility as "[[Depth Takes a Holiday]]" sets itself in late October - or Alternapalooza was held a few months early that year. A further option is to desperately try and not think about the chronological mess to avoid getting a headache.
[[Sandi]] drives the car on the way to Alternapalooza, so she would have to be at least 15 at the time. However, Daria is 15 when the series begins and the Fashion Club is in the school year below Daria.

==Road Worrier and MTV's websites==
In an MTV flipbook of minor characters [http://web.archive.org/web/20020728042700/http://www.wildgoose81.net:80/sardonica_chapter_4.htm (archived on a fansite)], [[Anne D. Bernstein]] gave the nameless waitress from this story a name and personality: "I'm Sue, and I've been a waitress at "Mom's" since before my arches fell. (We're the original "Mom's," by the way, so if any of you know any slick city lawyers send them my way.) I've got a sassy attitude and a world-weary "seen it all" take on life, not unlike a certain little Lawndale gal with a peanut butter stain on her caboose. So why don'tcha meet some other folks who have appeared on Daria and tell them Sue sent ya? And if you're ever in these parts again, stop by. I'll still be here, refilling ketchup bottles and adjusting my sup hose. Unless it works out with that trucker from Tulsa..."
==“Road Worrier” and Fanfic==
This episode set the tone for much fanfic writing, with its close look at [[Daria Morgendorffer]]'s crush on [[Trent Lane]], and marked the first time ever that the two of them got to talk in private. [[thatLONERchick]]'s "[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7200499/1/Alternatepalooza Alternatepalooza]" depicts a version where Daria isn't crushing on Trent and they start to grate on each other.
[[Alternate Universe|Alternate universe]] series that start around S1 will unfailingly depict an alternate version of "Road Worrier" in some way: [[John Lane]] ("[[Lessons of Spring]]"), [[God Save The Esteem]], [[Finn Morgendorffer]], [[Searching for a New Hope]], ''ALL OF THEM''.
==“Road Worrier” and Fan art==
There's not much of fan art around which centers around the events of "Road Worrier".
* [[Wouter Jaegers]] did a "What if" fan art depicting what if the troop had made it to Alternapalooza and is showing Brittany standing in front of a porta potty looking absolutely terrified at the prospect of having to use it.
