Behind the scenes

 * The description of what the Fashionistas are at the beginning of the episode is a reference to the "Sugar, spice, and everything nice" nursery rhyme used to describe the actual ingredients used to create the Powerpuff Girls in the opening theme to original series.
 * The Turn Around Tank is a parody of the reality TV show Shark Tank.
 * Bubbles mentions Space Cat and Cat Kent, characters from Space Towtruck, how they're never in the same place at the same time, which is an allusion to how Superman and his alter ego, Clark Kent, are never in the same place at the same time.
 * Distract-o-gram is a parody of Instagram.
 * Nick and Bob are named after the series creators/directors, Nick Jennings and Bob Boyle.
 * This is Jared's first full length appearance, as he had previously had a non-speaking cameo in the "Who's Got the Power?" short.

Errors

 * When Bianca talks to the judges about being out of the slammer, her neck shifts away from under her head to under her lips.
