{{TriviaQuote |Text=
The title of this episode is a reference to the colloquialism, "jumping the shark", refers to the point at which a show resorts to dramatic plot changes, novelty casting or similar devices in a desperate attempt to reinvigorate the show, while ironically signaling that the show has probably passed its use-by-date. The term comes from an episode of "Happy Days" in which The Fonz actually jumped over a tank of sharks on waterskis.

{{TriviaQuote |Text=
Similar to [[4.19 Jump The Shark]], the title references a TV trope where often late in their run the show resorts to dramatic plot changes, novelty casting or things such as weddings to attract ratings.
There is an actual Twitter account called [https://twitter.com/#!/superbeckyrosen @SuperBeckyRosen] which has tweets by the character as posted in the episode. It contains some tweets not seen see on the show, and doesn't have Becky's last tweet. The tweets were all posted on 24 September, which would coincide with when the episode was being written. In the episode, when we get a look at Becky's Twitter, and it's not a screenshot of the actual one but a mockup, which includes the last of Becky's tweets we see on the episode. Also the entries are dated 12th October, which would be when post-production on the episode was being done. Notably the dates are not written in US format but the normal dd/mm/yy format.
