Trivia
This cartoon marks the first time Nathan Ruegger's deepening voice was pitch-shifted upward to keep Skippy's voice consistently high.
Twice in this cartoon, Slappy and Skippy poke fun at the Disney Afternoon show Bonkers , which is interesting because Yakko also said Bonkers wasn't funny in the previous cartoon, "Deduces Wild".
The Warners make a cameo appearance as the funeral ushers before being chased off by Ralph.

Walter is seen sitting in a chair when he is supposed to be in a tomb.
Plot
The Warners sing all about the United Nations to the tune of "Down by the Riverside".
