Line 20:
This episode satired the dot-com bubble of 1995-2000, though by the time the episode would have been written (after summer 2000) the bubble was starting to end - unfortunately, by the time it ''aired'' the bubble was rapidly deflating and the companies Buzzdome.com parodies were going under. In fanfiction, this is part of the reason why some fans assume Daria graduated in 2000, which puts this episode in 1999; the previous episode fits that theory. And then "[[Is It College Yet?]]" had a sign placing the story during or after 2001...
==Trivia==
Helen first misses Jake, then later will explicitly say she's glad she married "kind, decent, intelligent man I fell in love with all those years ago". After this episode, aside from a spat in "[[Camp Fear]]", we stop seeing the recurring subplot that Helen and Jake's marriage is unsatisfying and in dire straights.
This episode introduced Sameer and Zhengdong at Buzzdome.com, but it was another five years before it was confirmed (in an interview with Bernstein) how their names were spelt.
