Fangface
Fangs is basically comic relief of the show having no real use as Fangs and getting changed into Fangface when he’s needed. Though Fangs does show a spark of use when he’s super scared. When he’s super scared, he comes up with a super good idea to save his super scared neck.

Fangface
Although it is consistently odd, if Fangface ever sees food, or hears a food word like “turkey”, he eats Puggsy. Although, he doesn’t swallow him whole; he just leaves him trapped in his jaw. The only way to get Puggsy out of Fangface’s jaw is for either Biff or Kim to rub Fangface’s foot, thereby calming him down and releasing Puggsy.

Goofs
Despite this being a mathematics educational film, a character incorrectly recites the value of the mathematical constant pi. The character states, “Pi is equal to 3.141592653589747, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera”. The correct value of pi (to the same number of digits) is actually 3.141592653589793.

Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen acquired the nickname “The Boss” during this period as when he played club gigs with a band he took on the task of collecting the band’s nightly pay and distributing it amongst his bandmates.[11] Springsteen is not fond of this nickname, due to his dislike of bosses,[12] but seems to have since given it a tacit acceptance.
