Trivia
Crispin Glover infamously appeared on Late Night with David Letterman (1982) in 1987 dressed, and in character, as Rubin Farr. This caused much confusion to David Letterman as he, after almost being kicked in the face by Glover, walked off his own set while still on the air.

Goofs
For one or two shots, Rubin's shoe faces the wrong way as it spins towards Rula and Jimbo's car.

Quotes
Rubin: My cat can eat a whole watermelon.

I wonder if this will qualify as a cult classic. It does require a specific sense of humor, like the book Life Seemed Good, But.... A collection of short quirky stories. Either you get it or you don't.
