As You Wish/Trivia

==Trivia==
*The music that plays during the opening title card sounds similar to the opening music from Every Litter Bit Hurts.
*Coincidentally, Lumpy stars in both episodes.
*Running gag: Every time a character wishes for their best desires, they end up getting killed by said desire.
*In this episode, Cub and Nutty are the only characters whose deaths are not caused by Lumpy.
*This episode marks one of the few times Lifty, rather than Shifty, drives their van. This means that Cub was killed solely by Lifty, rather than both twins.
*Nutty seems to be out of character in this episode: not only he is seen walking with no jitter from his sugar addiction, but also seems interested in a lamp rather than candy (although he wishes for a giant lollipop from Lumpy after finding the lamp).
*Disco Bear's walk cycle was reused in Doggone It. 
*Those who make wishes, with the exception of Pop (who dies later on), die because of said wish. This could mean that the wishes bring death to those whom the wish is intended for rather than the wisher.
*Pop also says his wish using words, unlike most of the characters in this episode, which is usually vice versa.
*This is one of the few episodes where Pop is missing his pipe for the entirety of the episode.
*The two characters who survive in this episode (Giggles and Lumpy) are the same characters who survive in Let It Slide.
**Coincidentally, Cub dies in both episodes.
*This episode marks the first time Nutty has actually spoken instead of just making sounds. The second time is in Random Acts of Silence, although in that episode he cannot be heard clearly. As a third, in Camp Pokeneyeout, you can hear him say "Hot!" when his eye is burned on the marshmallow.
*This is one of five episodes where a thought bubble is used. The other four are Crazy Antics, Doggone It, Can't Stop Coffin, and And the Kitchen Sink.
*Lumpy would later be portrayed as a mythical creature in Dunce Upon a Time and All In Vein.
**However, he has an antagonistic role in both of said episodes.
**This is the only episode where Lumpy is a mythical creature and is not portrayed as an antagonist.
*Sniffles and Petunia suffer similar injuries (from the disco ball/sack of coins) before being killed by the rocket, as both involve getting pierced all over their body.
*The light bulb in Lumpy's lamp does not work, possibly because of his stupidity playing on a literal that he is not very bright. Petunia does not throw Giggles' lamp away, possibly because said lamp's bulb did work.
*This is the first episode of the TV series in which Lumpy stars and survives.
*This is one of the three episodes of the TV series in which Disco Bear is the first character to die. The others are Wishy Washy and Double Whammy Part I.
*Petunia, Cub, Giggles and Mime are the only characters in this episode who do not make a wish.
*Nutty is the only character whose wish does not injure or kill anyone (except himself).
*Nutty is the only character whose death was not inevitable.
*Pop is the only character who does not get killed by his wish.
*Of the nine deaths in this episode, two of them involve Disco Bear's giant disco ball (Disco Bear and Cub), and three of them involve Sniffles' rocket (Sniffles, Pop, and Mime).
*This is the first time Mime has spent all of his screen time on his unicycle running away from a machine with a sharp tip throughout the episode. The second time is in A Hole Lotta Love.
*Many of the comments on YouTube say that the balloon Mime made resembled the shape of a penis, even though he actually made the shape of a rocket.
*Mime's death in this episode was more comedic than his other deaths. It is also one of the most comedic deaths in the series along with Toothy's death in Snow Place to Go.
*When Lumpy emerges from the lamp at the end, he says "What the hell?"
*Both of the YouTube thumbnails spoiled the following:
**The former YouTube thumbnail for Part 1 spoiled Disco Bear's injury before his death.
**The former YouTube thumbnail for Part 2 spoiled Pop's death, the current spoiled one of Sniffles' numerous injuries before death.
*It is hard to tell if Nutty and Disco Bear made their wishes with the intention of the objects being as large as they were, but given their personalities, it is a distinct possibility.
*This episode marks the longest sentence a character has spoken.
*Petunia is indirectly the response for the events of the episode.
==Cultural References==
*The title of this episode is usually a formal way to agree with something, even though one does not want to do it.
*The moral means that if you get things that you desire, there may be unforeseen and unpleasant consequences.
*Due to the events of this episode, it may be likely that the plot of this episode is related to story The Monkey's Paw, as both the episode and story feature characters wishing for what they wanted and then receiving a hideous twist that is related to the wish. An example includes Pop wishing for a (new) firetruck for Cub, but ironically, Lumpy misinterprets his wish, and he literally sets Cub on fire and then Cub gets injured (not killed) by a real firetruck.
*The light bulb Petunia screwed onto the lamp is an energy-saving one.
*When Lumpy grants Nutty's wish, he crosses his arms and nods his head, which is what Jeannie from I Dream of Jeannie does when she grants wishes.
*Lumpy wiggling his nose to grant Disco Bear's wish is a reference to the TV show Bewitched, where the witch, Samantha, would cast spells by wiggling her nose.
*This episode references the 1992 Disney movie Aladdin, as both feature lamps and genies who will provide wishes to their "masters" or whoever rubs on their lamp.
