Production Information[]
- With a run time of 14:39, this is the second longest episode of the series, behind only The Day the World Got Really Screwed Up!
Trivia[]
- When El Grapadura speaks to Dr. Daggett during Norb's part of the story, the subtitles are in Korean.
- The instrumental of "Oh Baby" was played during the beginning of Barry's story.
- Innuendo: During Barry's part of the story, his ship is called the "S.S. Positraction". Positraction is a generic trademark for LSD.
- Throughout the episode, Treeflower's clothes change. They are as follows: A flannel shirt, a cowgirl, a police officer, a Native American, and an airplane pilot.
Errors[]

Allusions[]
- James Bond - Norb's part of the story resembles the 007 spy movies.
- The codename "Double-0 Beaver" is used for the second time. [1]
- Exploitation - Barry's story is a parody of exploitation films, which emerged in the U.S. circa 1970.
- Riverdance - Norb and Treeflower's Irish stepdancing and clothing during the dance-off contest resembles those from the theatrical show.
- Bing's story is like some sort of manic, Saturday morning cartoon.
- Stump's story is a Scottish black-and-white drama, which is somewhat similar to Shakespeare's play Macbeth.
- Treeflower's part of the story is an obvious homage to several anime titles, one in particular being Project A-ko with a background track that sounds strikingly similar to the track "Explosion" from A-ko's soundtrack. The sub-genre of magical girl anime is also slightly alluded to. Norbert takes on the form of a combination of Astro Boy and Mega Man X.
