Trivia / Info:
- Unlike Bob the Union Scab, where Scoop only has his backhoe and his face is on his rear end and Muck is a bulldozer, in this sketch, Scoop and Muck are portrayed the way they are on the show, as they and Lofty are real Bob the Builder figures instead of models made by the Robot Chicken staff as in Bob the Union Scab. The models used for them are made by Born To Play. Ironically, this line was discontinued three years before this episode aired so it is likely they bought them of eBay.
- By the time this sketch had aired, Bob the Builder was rebooted and redesigned. Scoop, Muck and Lofty being the only machines to appear in the sketch is likely a reference to the fact that they are the main machine characters seen most of the time in the reboot, as Dizzy and Roley now act as side characters.
- Flicker does not appear in the sketch.
- Seth Green reprises his roll as Scoop from Bob the Union Scab.
Goofs / Nitpicks:
- In this segment, Manny is shown with a Mexican accent and darker skin. In the actual show, he has light colored skin and little trace of a Spanish accent.
- Señora Portio looks completely different from her design in the actual show she's from.
- Bob the Builder is actually a British creation, and was dubbed for airing in the United States, yet here he is portrayed as an American.
- IMDb incorrectly states that Rachel Bloom voices Mrs. Portio in this sketch, but since the voice sounds masculine, it's actually Seth Green.
