- This is the only episode in which Brobee doesn't join in on the Dancey Dance segment. Because he's absent.
- The other guests who attend the party are Gooble, Mark Mothersbaugh, his daughter Hui Hui, Melora Hardin, who did the Dancey Dance with the gang (except Brobee wasn't there) and stayed for the party instead of being beamed out of Gabba Land, and Parker Jacobs from the Cool Tricks segment, who arrives with DJ Lance Rock, who helps him carry the cake on a tray with a wheel on each one of two sides, like when DJ Lance Rock said, "Don't worry, everybody. I'll get the cake when it's time!", and he did so with Parker.
- Biz Markie is the only guest star who did not attend Brobee's birthday party.
- This is the first episode to have the new intro for Biz's Beat of the Day, meaning this is the first appearance of this segment in season 2.
- This is the first time Biz Markie doesn't say, "Okay. Here's Biz's Beat of the Day".
- This is the only time Biz Markie says, "Now I want everybody to sing along with me, like this." instead of "One more time, kids".
- This is the only time Biz Markie doesn't say, "Now practice this at home, and I'll see you all next time!".
- In this episode, the Super Music Friends Show is Brobee's birthday present as a bonus before the party ends.
- This is the first time DJ Lance Rock dances to the Super Music Friends Show.
- In this episode, the Dancey Dance is in the style of "Having A Party".
- As everyone yells, "Surprise, Brobee!" when they come out, a drumroll plays.
- DJ Lance Rock says "Then..." instead of "Finally..." for the last segment, which is that the Gabba gang had a party for Brobee's 4th birthday.
- When Brobee blows out one candle at a time, a noisemaker plays and the pitch increases.
- After the blowing out of one candle at a time, counting happens.
- The characters that don't appear in the first segment are Muno, Foofa, Toodee, and Plex. Brobee and DJ Lance are the only two characters in the first segment.
- In the first segment, Muno and Foofa appear in photographs and thought bubbles, even though they are not in person, and Toodee and Plex are technically absent until the second segment, even though they don't appear in the photographs and thought bubbles starring Muno, who appears in the last two, and Foofa, who appears in just the last.
- It was revealed Brobee's Pillow Socky was a gift from Foofa on his third birthday.
- In the photo of Brobee's third birthday, Brobee bears a similar resemblance to his Season 1 costume.
- There is no Numbers segment in this episode.
- In the first video game, Marina blows out groups of two candles, and Brobee blows out the group of four.
- Muno, Toodee, and Brobee appear with Marina in the first video game.
- At the end of the Dancey Dance segment, the Gabba Gang (except Brobee) don't say goodbye to Melora. Instead, Plex tells her to stay for Brobee's birthday party and that made her get excited.
- In this episode, the party hats that the kids wear resemble Brobee's spikes.
- This episode shares the same title as the song by the Beatles and Katy Perry.
- In this episode, Biz says, "Happy birthday, Brobee, from everybody. We love you!", to sign off instead of telling everyone to practice it at home.
- Instead of saying, "Biz's beat of the day", Biz says, "Brobee's birthday today".
- When Biz says, "Hey, kids. Just gather 'round, for Biz's beat of the day. I'm gonna teach you some sounds.", what he means is "Hey, kids. Just gather 'round, for Brobee's birthday today. I'm gonna give him some sounds."
- When Brobee Cake says, "Now, you want a piece of me?" as his last words, it's a reference to what the marines in StarCraft say as "You want a piece of me, boy?".
- There are a few things DJ Lance does during the party:
- When Brobee blows out the first candle, he steps backwards.
- When Brobee blows out the second, he steps forwards.
- When Brobee blows out the third, he shrugs.
- When Brobee blows out the last, he stands still for a second and then cheers and jumps.
- When Brobee says, "Hi, DJ Lance!" after Lance says, "Brobee!", what he means is "Yes, DJ Lance?".
- In this episode, Melora's original job is Dancey Dance teacher and her special job is birthday party attendee.
- When the Swami says, "Have a happy birthday, Brobee...", what he means is "Happy happy birthday, Brobee...".
- The title card said that Brobee's own birthday was held in Brobee Land, except DJ Lance Rock says that it was going to be held in Muno Land from now on.
- In the title card, Brobee appears alone.
- When DJ Lance says, "Do you know that today is a very special day? Today is Brobee's birthday!", what he means is "Do you know why Brobee appeared in the title card? Well, that's 'cause today's his birthday.".
Errors/Goofs[]
- After DJ Lance Rock says "Let's remember all the fun things we did today!", the gang doesn't cheer.
- After DJ Lance Rock says "All right! What a special birthday day.", the gang doesn't also cheer.
- In the shot where everyone yells "Surprise, Brobee!", the black bat doesn't come out.
- In the exterior of Brobee's birthday party, where Room is laughing as balloons and confetti come out of her mouth, we don't see Gooble and Brobee Cake, we only see Parker Jacobs and DJ Lance Rock in different directions and Melora Hardin and Toodee get switched around and so do Plex and DJ Lance Rock.
- At the end of the Cool Tricks segment, as Parker joins the singers on the word "Yeah!", he says it silently, giving the thumbs up after tasting the icing.
