4x002 - Fireworks

Trivia

 * Jon legally purchased the fireworks from an American Indian reservation in Nevada.
 * They microwaved three types of fireworks: snakes, bees, and a pyramid. It is the pyramid that badly injured Helga to the point if retirement.
 * The USA/Olympics jacket Jory wears in this episode belongs to Jon's dad. Riley wears it during season 6 for episodes #161 and 162.
 * The "I Want You to Get Into My Microwave" logo is available on shirts to buy.
 * The "all hands to the deck" quote has been in every theme song since season 6; it is now a classic quote. It originated not in this episode but in the Panini Press parody Jory did with Zac and Ryan.
 * The smoke/destruction from the fireworks was so great that Jory was able to write his name and "bad" (for "bad idea") on Helga's door.
 * This was the first episode to use a funeral montage.
 * This was Helga's 15th (and final) experiment, and it solidified her track record as being the worst of any microwave, statistically speaking. 13 of her 15 ideas were bad ones.
 * This was the 3rd episode which has gotten 1,000,000 views.
