==Trivia==
*The episode's voice casting and depictions of the Norse Gods serves as an extended "Minnesota Vikings" joke.
**Garrison Keillor, who voiced Odin, was best known as the creator and host of Minnesota Public Radio's "A Prairie Home Companion".
**Vince Vaughn, who voiced Loki, was born in Minneapolis.
**Jorgen Svenson and Sven Jorgenson speak with stereotypical Minnesotan accents.
*Loki is made the brother of Thor and son of Odin, similar to Marvel Comics, instead of being Odin's "blood brother" like in Norse mythology. Though the only difference is that Loki is biologically related to them as opposed to being adopted.
*Hero Rule 9: "Giants are dumb", is a reference to the importance to the number 9 in Norse mythology, including the Nine Realms that make up the universe.
*The scene of the Giants marching in the direction of Mount Olympus instead of Asgard is based on the Titans marching in the opposite direction of Olympus from the original film.
*Odin and Frigga were previously mentioned in "Hercules and the Pool Party", as having planned a game of Bridge alongside Zeus and Hera.
