Line 9:
** Different episodes, in different forms, continually pop up on various different video sharing sites, such as [[YouTube]] or Dailymotion, though they do suffer from being pulled for copyright, whether from Bagdasarian Productions, or other companies such as [[Warner Bros]] (particularly uploads from [[Cartoon Network]] recordings).
* [[Show Accuracy, Toy Accuracy]]: In their debut episode, The Chipettes don matching pleated yellow dresses for concerts and public appearances. It was the only episode of the series to feature them in these dresses. However, when The Chipmunks Posable Play Pals line was released, figures of The Chipettes wearing the dresses were released.
* [[Talking to Himself]]: Really taken to new levels during the [[Di CDiC]] era of the show; by then, Ross Bagdasarian, Jr. and Janice Karman did almost all of the voices themselves (notice an increase in characters who sound almost like Dave, and all the female characters have the same voice), while their associate producer, Thom Watkins, did the rest. By then, the only characters who weren't voiced by Bagdasarian, Karman, or Watkins were Miss Miller (Dody Goodman) and Lilly the puppy (Frank Welker).
* [[Technology Marches On]]: Many times you see Simon referencing the latest computers as being incredible, despite graphics which have ''visible'' pixels and being roughly the size of a microwave oven. Audio equipment is similarly out-dated, using reel-to-reel recording devices instead of digital media which was gaining popularity even in the late eighties when this show was produced.
** ''Back to our Future'' [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshades]] this phenomenon by having the 60's Chipmunks all amazed at the advances in technology.
Line 15:
'''60's Simon:''' And this computer has as much information on it as the public library!<br />
'''60's Theodore:''' Look at this TV! It's color! And it has more than three channels! }}
 
=== [[Alvin and the Chipmunks|The films]]: ===
* [[Creator Backlash]]: Actor [[David Cross]] has said that the third film was the most unpleasant experience he's had in his life as a professional.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: because [[My Name Is Earl|his name is Dave.]]
** And [[Bridgit Mendler|Teddy Duncan]] goes to West Eastman in the 2nd film.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Although you'll be doing well to pick out [[Kingdom Hearts|Roxas]], [[Criminal Minds|Spencer Reid]] and the Mac guy as the titular chipmunks.
** And Elenor is [[The Mighty B|Bessie Higgenbottom]]
** The principal in the sequel is [[Bratz|Burdine Maxwell]]
** The Japanese dubbed version got two different dubs: One for TV (NHK) in the 80s and another for cable TV in the 90s and 2000s (WOWOW):
*** Alvin in the TV dub was [[Dragonball Z|Dende as a kid.]] Cable TV dub Alvin [[Ikue Ohtani|is]] ''[[Pokémon (anime)|Pikachu]]'' (and also can be considered as an [[Actor Allusion]] and [[Hilarious in Hindsight]] at the same time)
*** Simon in the TV dub [[Yuko Sasaki|is]] [[Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie|Cammy]] and Cable TV Simon [[Houko Kuwashima|is]] [[Bleach|Soi Fon]] and [[Martian Successor Nadesico|Yurika Misumaru]]
