Synopsis[]
When the Mayor gets a craving for toast, he discovers his toaster's broken, so he gives it to the Professor to fix.

Trivia[]
- Some fans have disliked the Mayor's behavior in this episode, saying he was being extremely immature and also co-dependent.
- In this episode, the Mayor's true incompetent colors are revealed, he's a big spoiled baby in an old short man body. Even some children about under 10 years old (including The Powerpuff Girls and possibly The Rowdyruff Boys as well) are much more mature, responsible, independent, and patient than the Mayor. Then again, this may be due to him being under the false pretense that his position of power lets him get whatever he wants, when he wants it and probably wouldn't even take "no" or even "maybe" as an answer. An alternate theory is that this behavior is because of Alzheimer's disease and/or dementia, especially since he appears to be a senior citizen. Alzheimer's in particular does make people more co-dependent.
- The scene where Mayor carries Ms. Bellum up the building is a parody of the film King Kong.
- While snooping around the Professor's lab, Mayor quotes Dee Dee's famous line from Dexter's Laboratory: "Ooooooooh! What does this button do?"
- The phrase "Toast of the Town" means "A person who is widely admired."
- Chemical X and Antidote X are shown to come in different forms, powder and jelly.
- The Professor and Miss Bellum act like parental figures to the Mayor in the episode, even though they're both much younger than the Mayor.
- It revealed that The Mayor likes cherry flavor, especially cherry flavored candies and cherry jelly.
- The background music is from "Tough Love".
