Trivia[]

A running gag in the show is that he always has a different name in many of his appearances, though the name "Fran" has been used for him more than once.
- The names "Chip" and "Dale" being used in a row may be an in-joke relating to either Disney's Chip & Dale characters or the Chippendales strip troupe.
