Memorable quotes
Narrator: The city of Townsville, where it's a petty world out there and petty crime is at an all-time high, which leads us to the question of who, who could be picking the pockets of the unsuspected citizens of Townsville? Madame Argentina: Why me, of course. Narrator: Who said that? Madame Argentina: Down here. Narrator: You? Madame Argentina: Yes, me, Madame Argentina, physic medium and just plain all-around baddy. And this is my sidekick, Fred. Fred: Hello.

Narrator: And, so, the day is saved, thanks to the Powerpuff Grill!

Behind the scenes

 * The episode serves as a parody and homage to animator Jay Ward, with the story told in form of his animated shows. The puns, lack of music, and cliffhanger are meant to be callbacks to Rocky and Bullwinkle, Ward's most popular creation.
 * Madame Argentina and Fred were designed in style of Ward's cartoons, and have a similar role inspired by Boris and Natasha.
 * Argentina was voiced by June Foray, who did the original voice of Rocky the Flying Squirrel and kept voicing him up until her passing in 2017.
 * The jail warden is named "Jay Warden" and has a slight resemblance to Ward. He also wears an outfit resembling the mascot character of Cap'n Crunch, a Quaker Oats cereal whose line of television commercials in the early 1960s were made by Jay Ward Productions.
 * eBay is actually mentioned whereas it's usually been the parody site Obey that has been seen.

Errors

 * The booth says "Voo Doo Vic's," but the voice credits say "Voodooric."
