Behind the scenes

  • Zorak mentions Chef Boyardee as if he were a real person, which he technically is, but still, it's a brand based on the real chef named Hector Boiardi.
  • While Moltar is watching a speedboat crash into a car while on land, a quote from Romeo and Juliet also appears on the monitor.
  • Zorak says that watching Martin Yan cook is more educational than PBS.
  • During the Cartoon Network logo, Brak says, "I'm hungry. I'm tired," and then during the title card, "I wanna eat."
  • Keith Crofford, Sarah Dyer, Evan Dorkin, Matt Harrigan, Dave Willis, and Jay Edwards provide audio commentary for this episode on DVD releases.
