A Hole Lotta Love/Trivia

==Trivia==
*Strange, but true: The entire plot of the episode has irony within it. Pop did all he could to rescue his beloved son, as he believed that he fell down a hole, and yet, Cub was completely unharmed. However, at the end of the episode, Pop unintentionally causes Cub to fall down for real, which displays that Pop's efforts have gone to waste (a similar occurrence is later seen in Clause For Concern).
*The moral of this episode is similar to the moral of The Wrong Side of the Tracks.
*The Cursed Idol is among the items that fall out of Cuddles' trash can. It may have been the cause of Cuddles' death.
*When the drill machine crashes into the concrete wall, a pentagram can be seen. 
*The noise Cuddles makes when he opened the window is the exact same sound he makes when he rescued Mittens from a tree in Who's to Flame?.
*This is the fourth TV episode in a row where Handy dies.
*This is one of the few episodes to have a character's corpse resemble an apple. The other times are with Disco Bear in Hello Dolly, Nutty in Party Animal, and Mime in Brake the Cycle.
*Lumpy does not kill or harm anybody in this episode, while still being killed himself.
*Lumpy is strangely addicted to beans in this episode, as he is seen eating many cans while the others are building the drill machine. 
**It is unknown why there were cans of beans in the drill, since Lumpy was the only one eating them and was never involved in the drill machine's construction.
* This is the second TV episode to have Mime spend the whole episode running away from a large machine with a pointy tip, the first being As You Wish.
*The music that plays when Sniffles and The Mole are preparing for the drill machine trip with Pop getting in the way sounds very similar to the music that plays in A Change of Heart when Lumpy is performing heart surgery on Disco Bear.
*Pop is responsible for every death in this episode.
* This is one of three TV episodes in which Petunia appears without Giggles, the other two being Take a Hike and Wishy Washy.
*When Handy notices the drill machine, he clearly says "What the...?".
*If Cub survived falling into the well, this episode marks the second instance of Pop killing another character without killing Cub. This happened previously in Every Litter Bit Hurts and would later happen again in Spare Tire and A Handy Nanny.
* When Cuddles opens the door and sees Mime, he says "Can/May I help you?".
*The way Pop says "Hold on, son!" at the beginning of the episode is reused from Water Way to Go.
*The Mole, Handy and Lumpy die in the same order they did in Concrete Solution, Don't Yank My Chain, and Pet Peeve.
*This episode reveals that The Mole is left-handed when he works on the drilling map.
*The former YouTube thumbnail for Part 2 spoiled Mime's death.
*The treads are the only notable part of the drill machine that do not kill anybody.
*When Cuddles looks at the garbage on his front lawn after opening the window, if one looks really closely, a severed eye can be seen sitting behind The Cursed Idol.
**The same eyeball would later make a short cameo in A Sight for Sore Eyes.
*Several music tracks used in this episode are later used in the arcade game Run and Bun.
*After Pop manages to prevent Cub from falling into the well in the beginning of the episode, he says "Now stay here", which is the same voice clip from Chip Off the Ol' Block.
*Toothy is the only character from Peas in a Pod who doesn't appear in this episode.
*Petunia’s car is based on a Amc Pacer.
==Cultural References==
*The episode title A Hole Lotta Love is a reference to the song "Whole Lotta Love" by Led Zeppelin.
*The scene where Mime survives the façade of a house falling on him and Cuddles (who dies) is reminiscent of Buster Keaton's stunt, in which he, too, survives a house façade falling on him, which can be seen in the silent film Steamboat Bill Jr. and on a smaller scale in One Week.
==Superlatives== 
*Cuddles' death is similar to Mime's death in Brake the Cycle and Something Fishy and the Elephant Balloon Vendor's death in Mole in the City.
==Continuity==
*The skeleton from Sea What I Found can be seen in this episode when the drill machine is driving out of control underground.
==Production Notes==
*When this episode aired along with A Change of Heart and Mime to Five on YouTube, the alternate title for the conglomeration of segments was named "Seventh Heaven". Cuddles, Mime, Petunia, Cro-Marmot, The Mole and Lumpy appear in all three episodes. Lumpy (debatably) dies in all three episodes, Cuddles and The Mole die twice, Petunia and Mime die once, and Cro-Marmot survives all three.
*Kenn Navarro mentioned that he did Handy's voice in this episode due to Warren Graff being unavailable at the time.
*Aubrey Ankrum's voice is sampled for Pop.
* In order aired on TV, this is the first episode to be uploaded by Mondo Media to YouTube in HD.
*There are a few minor differences in the storyboard version of this episode from the finished version: 
**In the finished version, Cuddles and Mime simply run away from the falling wall and just so happen to wind up underneath the windows. In the storyboard, Cuddles and Mime actually stop to duck and cover underneath the windows.
**Cuddles' pelvis twirls around his spine, spraying blood like a sprinkler, after his death.
**Mime cycles up next to Cub and they both watch the digger emerge in front of the well. Trying to avoid the digger, Mime cycles up behind it as Pop opens the door, putting him in position to get hit by the anchor.
