Buns of Steal/Trivia

==Trivia==
* This episode is related to the arcade game Run and Bun, and was released on the Mondo site at the same time. The teaser trailer is made for both subjects.
*This episode marks Lifty and Shifty's first appearance since Swelter Skelter, back in 2009.
**Another similarity between these two episodes is that they both have Lifty and Shifty starring in them and have a goof in common, where "starring" is misspelled as "staring".
*This is the second episode in which the pun of the title has something to do with bread, the first being Better Off Bread.
*This episode marks the second instance of Lifty and Shifty trying to rob The Mole and failing. The first time they try to do this is in Autopsy Turvy (Double Whammy Part II). Both failures are due to bad timing. The first time, they are collateral damage from the battle between Flippy and Fliqpy. This time, they strike too early, when The Mole is on his way to pick up the buns and not to drop them off.
*This marks The Mole and Lifty and Shifty's season 4 debuts.
*The YouTube thumbnail for this episode spoils Lifty's death.
*This episode marks Cuddles' first death since Breaking Wind and his first death in season 4.
*This is the first episode of season 4 to star a character other than Lumpy.
*This is the first episode in season 4 where Lumpy, Lammy or Mr. Pickels do not appear.
**Furthermore, this episode and Put Your Back Into It are the only Season 4 episodes where Lumpy does not appear.
*Truffles can be seen behind the bakery near the end of the episode (when the closing iris is shown).
*This episode marks the second instance of Lifty and Shifty not dying right after each other or at the same time, the first being Junk in the Trunk.
**This episode also marks the fifth instance of Lifty dying before Shifty, the other three episodes being Milkin' It, Who's to Flame?, Wrath of Con and Swelter Skelter.
*Some fans have said that the scratches Shifty receives make it look like he is blushing.
*Lifty is responsible for all of the deaths in this episode (including his own).
*Every death in this episode (except Sniffles' death) involves getting bisected.
*After the credits, there is a small advertisement for the game Run and Bun, a game based on this episode, which is available to download on Google Play and iTunes.
*Because Run and Bun was announced before the episode, this is arguably the first episode to be based on a game and not the other way around.
*This is the last episode where Lifty and Shifty appear in.
*Despite the characters that appear in this episode, Cuddles is the only one who is playable in Run and Bun. Sniffles, Lifty, Shifty, and The Mole appear in the game, but not as playable characters.
**Giggles is the only character in this episode to not appear in Run and Bun at all.
*This episode marks Lifty's most torturous death to date.
*During Lifty's first injury, he shoots himself in the foot both figuratively and literally.
*If one looks closely after Shifty kicks Lifty's head off onto the road, you can see that Lifty's eyes and mouth close when his head bounces on the road.
==Cultural References==
* The title of this episode is a pun on "Buns of Steel", a series of exercising videos released in the 1980s and 1990s.
*Shifty's death is a reference to the passengers' deaths in the opening of the 2002 horror movie Ghost Ship.
==Superlatives==
*Giggles' death is similar to Cuddles' death in Happy Trails Pt. 1 and Wingin' It and Cub's death in Let It Slide.
*Sniffles' death is similar to Toothy's death in Treasure Those Idol Moments.
*Shifty's death is similar to the death of the first Generic Tree Ninja that dies in Books of Fury.
*Lifty's death is similar to Giggles' death in Home Is Where the Hurt Is.
==Continuity==
*Giggles uses the same pair of roller skates that she wore at the diner in Concrete Solution.
*Lifty's blowtorch from Swelter Skelter reappears in this episode.
==Production Notes==
*This episode was known three months before You're Kraken Me Up and All Work and No Play despite its actual release.
**According to Twitter, this episode was originally planned to be released in May, but it had been delayed due to the making of the game based upon it.
*Kenn Navarro's voice is sampled for Lifty and possibly Shifty.
*Ellen Connell's voice is sampled for Giggles.
