- The Other Darrin: Kevin Murphy as Tom Servo.
- Memetic Mutation: Fans eventually learned that one watcher didn't approve of the change and went to the trouble of making a large banner reading "I HATE TOM SERVO'S NEW VOICE" and mailing it to Best Brains.
- Kevin Murphy kept the banner as a keepsake.
