Behind the scenes

  • This episode's plot is parody of the Battle of the Little Bighorn in 1876, and as such lampooned the general outline of said event.
    • The episode title is play on Custer's Last Stand, a title given to the Battle of the Little Bighorn.
    • The setting takes place in Little Bighorn, which in reality is the Little Bighorn River in southern Montana.
    • General George Custard is a caricature of Lt. Colonel George Armstrong Custer, who played a role in his demise in the actual battle.
    • Both this episode and the Battle of the Little Bighorn conclude in a similar fate, with the Indians becoming victorious and General Custard's troops defeated in the end.
  • Since it was made in the 1960s, this episode contains stereotypes of Native Americans that would not be acceptable by today's standards.

Errors

  • For some reason, General Custard has three men as his troops.
