Notes[]
- In this episode, we see Bad Bird without his helmet.
- Bad Bird has black hair.
- Big Cheese crossdresses in this episode.
- This is the first and only time Jerry explodes.
- The fish Speedy and Fred eat is entirely organic in contrast to nearly all other animals in the series who are cybernetic, including the crab earlier in the episode.
- In the KNT version, Shell promises Emperor Fred that he will take him to Dragon's Palace. Fred imagines himself being surrounded by humanoid women despite still being married. In SPC, this was changed to Shell just calling Fred wise and benevolent to avoid showing the Emperor as a philanderer.
- The women in this fantasy appear to be human Animaloids!
