Idol Curiosity/Trivia

==Trivia==
*The group of explorers is the same group of characters that went on the Haunted House ride in Boo Do You Think You Are?.
*This is one of the only two episodes of the TV series that star Sniffles without him inventing anything, the other one being The Wrong Side of the Tracks.
*This is the only TV episode to have a plot revolving around The Cursed Idol.
*Flaky is the only character whose death wasn't caused by the Cursed Idol.
*This is one of the few TV episodes where Toothy appears without Cuddles.
*If one is quick to notice, the cursed crack can actually be seen paying the cab driver before resuming its chase.
*One of the items Sniffles moves is a statue of a Roman bear's head that very closely resembles Cub's head.
*This is the third episode where Flaky was killed by animals/predatory flowers, the first was Take a Hike, the second was Snow Place to Go, and the fourth was Wipe Out!.
*This is one of the few episodes where there is a fairly large cast and everyone dies.
*This episode shows that Lumpy has a small brain (though size is not a large factor in intelligence).
*When Sniffles was being chased by the crack, he threw down the same green shelf which Flippy had in his house.
*This is one of the few episodes where there is no closing iris. Instead, the frame shatters. The others are Treasure Those Idol Moments, Happy Trails Pt. 1, Hello Dolly, and Double Whammy Part I.
**This is one of the only two TV episodes that do not end with a closing iris. The other episode is Double Whammy Part I.
**However, in the storyboard, there is a closing iris, which concludes with the screen cracking a bit.
*This marks Russell's most painful and torturous death to date.
*This is the fourth time Toothy has an eye injury.
*Cuddles is the only primary character to not appear in this episode.
==Cultural References==
*The title of this episode is part of the phrase "Out of idle curiosity", which means to want to know something for no specific reason.
*The ship slamming into the iceberg head-on and sinking with everyone on board is a reference to the RMS Titanic. Also, Lumpy looking for icebergs, ringing a bell, (similar to Frederick Fleet) and The Mole quickly changing directions (similar to Robert Hichens) similar to the sinking of RMS Titanic.
*Sniffles retrieving the Idol and taking it to a museum could be a reference to Indiana Jones. The description for this episode titles Sniffles as "Indiana Sniffles".
*Sniffles moving objects, like a bench and a soda machine, to block the door of the museum is a reference to The Blues Brothers.
==Superlatives==
*All of Giggles' injuries are similar to Pop's injuries before death in A Vicious Cycle, Mime's death in Home Is Where the Hurt Is, and Phillip "Phil" Simpson's death in Child's Play 2.
*Russell's injury is similar to Disco Bear's death in Doggone It. Both involve being dragged by the intestines.
*Toothy's injury is similar to his injury in Eye Candy and Lumpy's injury in We're Scrooged! and Handy's injury in Spare Me.
*Sniffles' death is similar to a Generic Tree Ninja's death in Enter the Garden.
*Lumpy's death is similar to Toothy's death in Eye Candy. Both involves the eyes and brain coming out.
==Continuity==
*Flippy's helmet shelf from Easy For You to Sleigh appears in the museum when Sniffles is knocking artifacts into the crack.
==Production Notes==
*When this episode aired along with Home Is Where the Hurt Is and Aw, Shucks! on YouTube, the alternate title for the trio was "Nine Lives". Lumpy, Giggles and The Mole appear in all three episodes. Giggles and The Mole die in all three episodes while Lumpy dies twice.
