- The adjacent Camp David is the actual retreat site for the President of the United States.
- Pinky mistakes Brain's remark of venturing to a place where "the nights are silent (save for the plaintive call of the field cricket" to be The WB Network, the then-network home of the Animaniacs franchise whose executives infamously clashed with the series crewmembers.
- During Brain's background check when interviewing for the camp, a little bit of Brain's FBI record is shown; which contains some of his past failed schemes. Two of the schemes mentioned on his record include his failed giant vegetable army and his attempt to harness the power of tornadoes to seize control of the Earth.
