Behind the scenes

 * The episode title is a play on "Grease is the word", a line in the chorus of the song "Grease" in the 1978 musical film of the same name.
 * When Lumina thinks that Mr. Cool has found Fonzie's friends, he responds jokingly that it's either that or a year's supply of Scooby Snacks, the favorite snack used as a bribe in coercing Scooby-Doo from Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! and its spin-offs.

Errors

 * When Ralph says he'll give up his Captain Cosmo decoder ring to General Calais, he just throws more paper at him.
 * When Cupcake felt obligated to correct Fonzie that Ralph didn't have a key to the time ship, she said it right in front of Umbra.
