Read 'em and Weep/Trivia

==Trivia==
*The Cursed Book in this episode strongly resembles the Book of the Dead in Spelunky. However, unlike the book in Happy Tree Friends, the Book of the Dead in Spelunky has an eyeball and a nose.
*Petunia is the first character to die in the third internet season.
*This is the first episode to air in 2007.
*One of the books on the table with a dollar sign ($) on it is a pop-up book.
**This could be a reference to the TV season intro as it just finished.
*This is one of the few episodes to have Lumpy start and finish a job successfully without killing or harming anyone or himself.
*Character revelation: This episode introduces the character trait that Pop is a cheapskate, as he refused to buy Cub a book just because it came from a table that had a dollar sign ($) on it and would've only cost a few bucks (because he thought that it was expensive), he hesitated to throw a seemingly expensive vase at the demon when it possessed Cub, and didn't hire someone to bury Cub six feet under.
*This episode is one of the four Season 3 episodes to have a quick shot moment in it. The other three are We're Scrooged!, A Sucker for Love Part 2 and Just Desert.
*From this episode onward, the animation of the internet episodes resembles the animation from the TV series.
*This episode marks one of the few instances Pop is shown without his hat on.
*This episode is one of six instances where a character cries during his/her death due to the degree of pain. The other five instances are Toothy from Eye Candy and Brake the Cycle, Sniffles from Tongue in Cheek, Flaky from Ski Ya, Wouldn't Wanna Be Ya!, and Lumpy from The Chokes on You.
*This is one of the few episodes where Lumpy appears, yet does not kill anyone or gets killed himself (although he does get possessed).
*This is one of the episodes where Lumpy's antlers don't switch positions.
*This is the first internet episode that Pop and Cub star in since Stealing the Spotlight.
*This episode makes the first episode of Season 3 a Halloween special.
*This is the only season premiere that Toothy survives in.
*Despite numerous instances of Pop causing Cub's death through his lack of attention/competence as a parent, this is the only episode of the series to date where Pop deliberately kills Cub, though Pop intended to kill the demon possessing him and was unaware that he was already cured.
*Since Pop summoned the Demon, he is indirectly responsible for every death in the episode. To a lesser degree, Toothy is also indirectly responsible, as he sold Pop the book in the first place.
*It is quite strange for a possessed Cub not to attack and eat Pop. However, it is possible that some of Cub's traits influenced the creature to not attack his beloved father, or that the Demon doesn't attack the person who summoned it.
*When Pop feeds Cub, he looks like he is holding a paintbrush.
*This episode features Petunia's most gruesome and goriest death in the show.
*It is quite strange for a possessed Cub not to attack and eat Pop. However, it may be likely that some of Cub's traits have influenced the creature (that was overtaking Cub) to not attack his beloved father. Especially, considering the fact that Pop was standing much closer to the demon than Petunia was. Furthermore, at the end of the episode, Lumpy is shown to be possessed by the creature and has still not yet attacked Pop (although Pop could have been attacked after the scene ended).
**Another possibility is that Pop is the one who summoned the Demon, so it is possible that the Demon doesn't attack the person who summoned it.
==Cultural References==
*The title of this episode is a common saying by people who play poker. It's usually said by a player who has a good hand and shows it the other players, thus making the others upset, hence the "weep" part.
*The moral of the episode means you shouldn't prejudge the worth or value of something by its outward appearance alone.
*The book that Pop reads to Cub is a parody of the Necronomicon, a fictional book created by H.P. Lovecraft.
*The basic plot and many elements of the episode are a parody of the movie The Exorcist.
*The events of how Cub was possessed and the appearance of the cursed book seem to draw inspiration from the Evil Dead movies.
*The demon having tentacles could be a reference to one of H.P. Lovecraft's other creations, Cthulhu. Cthulhu, however, is gigantic, thus making it too big to fit inside Cub.
*The demon erupting from Cub's mouth with a sharp maw and tentacles is possibly a reference to the Las Plagas parasite from the Resident Evil games, which after the host suffers a certain amount of damage, rips through the neck to attack their victims.
**Likewise, the sounds the demon makes when it grabs Petunia are the same used for the G-creatures (most notably the virus' creator William Birkin) in Resident Evil 2.
*The line "Epilogue: With this new found experience, Lumpy moved to Japan and became a huge movie star!" in the Blurb version is a reference to the infamous use of tentacles for sexual purposes in Hentai anime.
==Superlatives==
*Petunia's death is similar to her own death in Wingin' It, only this time time her body is being forced out of a sink instead of being forced inside.
*Petunia's injury is similar to Giggles' injury in Doggone It and Lumpy's injury in By The Seat Of Your Pants.
*Cub's death is similar to Lifty and Shifty's deaths in Doggone It and Giggles, Lammy, and Truffles' deaths in All In Vein.
==Continuity==
*The Blurb for this episode mentions the events of the episode And the Kitchen Sink with the line "In another episode, Cub was pulled through the kitchen sink", and remarks that Cub in this episode doing the opposite of what happened by saying "now he's doing the pulling".
==Production Notes==
*According to Kenn, the crew really wanted to write a Cthulhu-esque story for this episode.
*Pop's voice is sampled in this episode.
*The credits say that Cro-Marmot appears in this episode and has a voice actor (Dean McDonald). However, Cro-Marmot is nowhere to be seen, and has no voice. This is either a goof, a joke, or a sign that Cro-Marmot was actually planned to be featured in this episode.
