Detailed summary

Memorable quotes

Quick Draw: Get your stinking paws off me, you damn dirty kids!


Quick Draw: Out there, guitars like this didn't encore the law, they were the law. I didn't write that, it was on some asshole's website. I.... wish I had written it.....It's a good line....They....were the law. They...were the law. Out there...they didn't enforce the law...they...were....the law. Oh, God, that's good.

Release

Dates are in order of release:

Behind the scenes

  • The episode title and theme of the episode is a parody on gun control, with guitars being treated as guns, and guns being treated as inoffensive items.
  • Harvey's middle initial is "T," just like it was in the previous episode, "Droopy Botox."
  • Phil's application form for a medal of honor says August.
  • Harvey mentions the Green Day song "Time of Your Life."
  • Quick Draw's line, "Get your paws off me, you damn dirty kids" is a paraphrase of Taylor/Charlton Heston's famous line, "Take your stinking paws off me, you damn dirty apes," in the film Planet of the Apes.
  • Baba Looey being killed by a guitar is a possible nod to how most gun deaths are due to guns not being safely put away.
  • Ranger Smith raiding Yogi and Boo Boo's closet is a reference to the imfamous photo taken during the Ellan Gonzales case.
  • Quick Draw retains his American influenced accent in the Spanish dub for this episode.

Errors

  • Phil LaMarr is credited for voicing Black Vulcan, although he doesn't appear.
  • The voice credits list Baba Looey as Baba Louie.
