Trivia

  • This segment satirizes William Shatner's notoriously failed attempt at a singing career (specifically, his cover of Elton John's "Rocket Man") and his equally infamous ego.
  • When the Warners see the sign-up list filled with nothing but Slackmer's name, Yakko quips "Looks like an election ballot from Chile", a reference to the country's first general election in 1989.
  • Dot mentions Shatner and Nimoy's show Star Trek in the end.
  • Many classic children's songs serve as the soundtrack to this cartoon, including Willie and The WB Kids singing "John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt."

Crew

Trivia

  • The title is a parody of the film The Spy Who Loved Me.
  • Miss Hennypenny states that when it comes to counter-intelligence, nobody does it better than Agent Boo. "Nobody Does It Better", sung by Carly Simon, is the title song from The Spy Who Loved Me.
  • Dr. Not is a parody of Dr. No, the eponymous villain of the first Bond film.
  • Henchman Day Labor is a parody of Oddjob from Goldfinger.
  • P tells cooper to "never say never again." This is the title of the unofficial James Bond film released in 1983, which featured the return of Sean Connery to the role of Bond and was produced by Warner Brothers.
  • When presenting the mission briefing, P states that the information is "for your eyes only." This is the title of the twelfth Bond film, released in 1981.
