Feeling inadequate, Buttercup juices on Muscle Maxifier. I'm sure there's an anti-drugs message in there somewhere, hopefully.

Behind the scenes

Jaydeep's Gym Jam is named after Jaydeep Hasrajani, one of the writers and storyboard artists of this episode.
In the recurring joke of the girls not remembering the Gnat's name, Bubbles calls him Jack, and Buttercup calls him Carlton.

Errors

Not funny that in Buttercup's muscular form she looks like an amputee victim.
