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]]: Alvin, Simon, Theodore, and David Seville are all voiced by Ross Bagdasarian, Sr. in "The Chipmunk Song."
** Since the '80s, Alvin, Simon, and Dave have been voiced by Ross Bagdasarian, Jr., while Theodore and all three Chipettes are voiced by his wife, Janice Karman.
*** Later still, when the series switched to [[Di C]] for animation, almost all of the additional one-shot characters were voiced by their associate producer Thom Watkins, with Ross occasionally stepping in for other additional male characters, while Janice voiced most additional female characters.
** [[Averted Trope|Averted]] in the [[Live Action Adaptation]], where each chipmunk is voiced by a different actor.
* [[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.

'''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.
