Behind the scenes

The episode's identity crisis plot is a reference to MGM's Droopy theatrical shorts having Droopy's rival called Spike who had his name changed to Butch in 1955 (with Deputy Droopy), when MGM finally landed on the name of Spike for the recurring bulldog in the aforementioned Tom and Jerry theatrical shorts. This episode retcons it so that they were identical twin brothers called Spike and Butch in the Droopy shorts.
The cat and mouse detectives in the opening are parodies of Snooper and Blabber from Hanna-Barbera's Snooper and Blabber TV shorts from 1959 to 1961.
The name on Spike's TV says "Bony," a parody of Sony.
The Shamrock Channel is named in this episode, after having appeared unnamed in the previous episode, "Dis-Repair Man."

Errors

Stephen Stanton is credited for voicing "pizza guy," but Jason Hightower voiced Red, who was working as a pizza guy.
Joey D'Auria is credited for voicing a courier, instead of just calling him Droopy.
