  • The Godfather is satirized throughout the whole segment.
  • The Goodfeathers appears in a cameo.
  • The song about Italian food The WB Kids sing parodies Rossini's famous Tarantella.

Goofs and Inconsistencies

  • Throughout most of the cartoon, the Warners refer to spaghetti as "psketti" (as mentioned in the series bible) even though they actually used the correct word during their song at the beginning. (They're probably doing it for the "funsies" as Dr. Scratchansniff would say)
  • The restaurant is called Mario Puzzo's, although it is actually spelled "Puzo", with one Z.
