Sea What I Found/Trivia

==Trivia==
*In other episodes, Russell can hold his breath underwater, considering that he is a sea otter and has done so in other episodes. In this episode, however, he requires air pumped into a diving suit. This could, however, simply be because he was underwater for a prolonged period of time in this episode. The fact that he had to go to a greater depth also supports the explanation of the diving suit.
**This can be also explained by the fact that the writers needed to have Russell wear said diving suit in order to have this death scene in this episode.
*The featuring characters in this episode would all later star in A Vicious Cycle, with the addition of Flippy.
*When Lumpy opens the door to Russell's house, he says to Russell "Hey! Ready to go?" if one pays attention.
*When Russell finds the treasure chest, it is held by what appears to be a human skeleton, hinting at the existence of humans in the Happy Tree Friends universe.
*This is the first TV episode in which Lifty and Shifty do not die simultaneously or die the same death.

After Lifty and Shifty make a thumbs up and leave the viewfinder, the viewfinder itself closely resembles a smiley face. After Lifty and Shifty destroy it, the viewfinder resembles a frowning face.
*The music from this episode is used in two Arcade Games (Going Overboard and On Thin Ice). It can also be heard at the end of YouTube Copyright School.
*This is the first episode where Disco Bear appears without any females. This would not happen again until seven years later, in A Vicious Cycle.
*There are no female characters in this episode, but if you count Giggles' cameo appearance as a bobbling hula girl in Don't Yank My Chain, then this would be the first TV episode to not have any female characters.
*Disco Bear is somewhat indirectly responsible for Cub's death, as he distracted Pop.
*This is one of the few episodes to show a character's morning routine. The other episodes are Easy Comb, Easy Go and Ipso Fatso (both Disco Bear), Chew Said a Mouthful (Nutty), and Wishy Washy (Petunia).
*This episode marks Russell's first solo death since Get Whale Soon.
*This episode marks the first time that Disco Bear is seen with chest hair.
*This episode marks Shifty’s most tortuous death to date.
*The scream that Cub made is the same as Giggles in Doggone It and Swelter Skelter and Petunia in Wishy Washy, Cubtron Z and My Better Half.
*Pop and Cuddles are the only survivors of this episode, and are also the only survivors of Doggone It (debatable) and Letter Late than Never.
*This episode is the first of two times that Lifty and Shifty use actual teamwork in their schemes, with Lifty pushing Russell back while Shifty is down on his hands and knees behind him to trip him so that he actually goes far enough away that he is not a threat. The second time is in Junk in the Trunk.
**Ironically, this episode also contains one of Shifty's biggest betrayals of Lifty, along with Milkin' It.
*The former YouTube thumbnail for Part 1 spoiled Cub's death, while the current thumbnail for Part 2 spoiled one of Lifty's injuries.
*Unusually, inside Russell's closet is a pair of women's high heels.
==Cultural References==
*The moral There are plenty of fish in the sea. means that there are lots of potential mates in the world. This saying is often used to console a person who has lost a girlfriend or boyfriend.
*Pop looking through the holes in Cub's head where his eyes should be is a nod to the movie Jeepers Creepers.
*Disco Bear's yellow submarine is likely a reference to the Beatles' song of the same name.
*The scene where Shifty walks away from Lifty and the floor starts to melt might be a reference to the movie Volcano, or the movie The Core.
*The flywheel sound effect from Thomas & Friends can be heard inside the submarine.
*In an episode of Game of Thrones, a character named Viserys Targaryen is killed when a chieftain dumps molten gold over his head. This is similar to Shifty's death in this episode.
==Superlatives==
*Cub's death is similar to Disco Bear's eye injury in As You Wish.
*Russell's death is similar to Lumpy's death in All In Vein and Petunia's death in Royal Flush.
==Production Notes==
*When this episode aired along with Doggone It and Concrete Solution on YouTube, the alternate title for the conglomeration of segments was named "The Third Degree". Lifty and Shifty, Pop and Cub, Cuddles, and Lumpy appear in all three episodes. Lumpy and (Debatably) Cub die in all three episodes while Pop survives all three episodes. On the other hand, Lifty and Shifty die twice, and Cuddles (debatably) dies once.
*According to the cast commentary on the TV Series DVD Vol. 1, one of the endings considered for the episode would have revealed that Lumpy was the one drawing the treasure maps and sending them away from an abandoned island.
*A few scenes are slightly extended or otherwise different in the storyboard version of the episode:
**Lumpy opens the bottle with his teeth and spits the cork at Russell's eyepatched eye.
**When Lifty and Shifty steal the treasure from Russell, they're shown on sea scooters firing themselves out of Disco Bear's submarine like missiles.
**While Russell is building his motorboat, he is also shown cutting kelp with his hook and attaching the open giant clam he uses as a propeller.
**While Lifty and Shifty are admiring the loot in the treasure chest, Lifty wipes away a tear of joy.
**Right before Lifty is pinned down by the falling iron bar, a rivet pings off the crown he's wearing.
**After Lifty grabs the gold-covered Shifty, he takes the time to polish him.
**Rather than getting his arm stuck, Lifty drowns because he refuses to let go of the golden Shifty even as he runs out of air.
