Trivia

  • Pinky and the Brain make a cameo appearance. Brain is wearing his outfit from the spin-off series pilot episode; "Das Mouse."
  • Hemmingway's scrapped Blue Figs and Yam writing is a parody of Green Eggs and Ham.
  • The puppet show Hemmingway watches is a parody of Lamb Chop's Play-Along.
  • When the Warners' plane is tumbling down to Hemmingway's house, it comes to a screeching halt before touching the ground. The Warners get out of the plane, and Dot says "Outta gas." Yakko then calls it lame joke #2. This is a reference to the ending of the Bugs Bunny cartoon Falling Hare.
