When first released, this episode was considered an actual part of the
Sanders Sides (2016) series, and it was listed for some time as one of the episodes of the first season, despite the obviously different format compared with other episodes of "Sanders Sides". When the first season of "Sanders Sides" was about to end, it was retroactively kicked out of the listing and considered part of the "Thomas Sanders" series, and therefore a spin-off of "Sanders Sides".
In 2018, Thomas Sanders officially confirmed that the characters that appeared on "Sanders Shorts", the Dad Guy, the Teacher Guy and the Prince Guy were not the same characters as Patton, Logan and Roman, the latter just took on their shapes, but they're different characters, with their own personality, continuity and canon. This includes this episode, which features the Dad Guy from the Shorts and not Patton. Therefore, from 2018, this episode is retroactively considered a spin-off from "Sanders Shorts" and no longer has a direct relation to "Sanders Sides" other than Dad Guy and Patton being look-alikes.
