==Trivia==
===PILOT===
*The dub contains more harsh language than the English original, with people debating whether this should be censored as swearing or not.
*The dub contains a lot more direct references to (mostly German) pop culture. These include:
**The moon saying "Ich liebe Sie" (formal "I love you") and Caine responding with "Verschwinden wir, bevor der Spitzkopf da oben durchdreht" ("Let's get away before that pinhead up there gets freaky") is a reference to the character Patrick Star from SpongeBob Squarepants.
**Caine says "Wir brauchen hier wohl 'nen Meister Proper" ("We seem to need a Master Proper here") after Pomni vomits on the floor, "Meister Proper" being the German name for "Mr. Clean".
**Caine calls Bubble "Drecksackblase" ("Dirtbag Bubble") instead of "parasite", which is the German name for character "Dirty Bubble" from SpongeBob Squarepants, making another reference to that show.
**Jax calls Kinger "E1" instead of "Hoo-ha", making a reference to the starting position of the white king on a chess board.
**The Gloink Queen calls Jax "eine billige Bugs Bunny-Kopie" ("a cheap copy of Bugs Bunny").
**Kinger asks Zooble "Du hast aber nicht 'Wer Wird Gloinkonär' gespielt, oder?" (You didn't play 'Who Will Become Gloinkonaire', did you?") referencing the German version of the quiz show "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?".
**Jax tells Zooble "Halt die Kathete" ("Hold the cathetus"), referencing their triangular head.
*The dub changes Jax' line "I said that like five minutes ago" to "Is' schon so drei Minuten her, aber okay." ("It's been like three minutes already, but okay."), as the line he is talking about in fact happened almost exactly three minutes earlier.
*As the dial tone runs through Caine's eyes, the German subtitles strike a reference to the slow internet in Germany by saying "Deutsches Internet zu Bestzeiten." ("German internet at its peak.").
*The German dub is the only one to have a male singer sing the intro instead of a female one (the singer being Julian-Andreas Engelke).
**The "woo-hoo" however is still female, supposedly sung by a number of Bubble's, but was actually recorded by Vanessa Strauch (voice of Zooble) instead of Marion Czech (voice of Bubble).
**The German VA of Jax, Julian Göke, who also worked on translation and voice direction, revealed that the reason for the male singing voice was a miscommunication and that the team was told at first that a male voice was needed.
***Despite that, the intro song was updated on October 31st, 2023, but still kept the male voice.
===Candy Carrier Chaos!===
*The dub contains a lot more direct references to (mostly German) pop culture and plays on words. These include:
**Ragatha says "Man muss halt hart sein, wenn der Zirkus weint" ("You have to be tough when the circus cries"). This is a reference to a German meme from the YouTube show "7 vs. Wild", where popular German streamer Knossi said "Du musst hart sein, wenn der Dschungel weint" ("You have to be tough when the jungle cries").
**Caine says "Es liegt an euch, diesen diebischen Vorstadtkrokodilen eine zuckersüße Strafe zu erteilen" ("It is your task to issue a sugar-sweet penalty on these mischievous suburb crocodiles"). This is a reference to the German book and movies "Vorstadtkrokodile" ("suburb crocodiles") by Max von der Grün.
**Kinger says "Hier gibt's sogar süße Butterfingerlinge" ("They even got cute/sweet butterfinger-lings here"). "Butterfinger" is a chocolate bar from Ferrero. The word "Butterfingerlinge" is also a play on the word "Schmetterlinge" meaning "Butterflies".
**Jax says "...baller ich diese Milchbubis ins Nirwana" ("I'll shoot those milksops to nirvana"). "Milchbubis" can refer to "milksops" but also a German wine gum from the "Nimm2"-brand called "Nimm2 Milchbubis". "Milchbubis" literally translates to "Milk bois".
**Jax says "Jetzt fängt der Spaß erst an" ("Now the fun begins"), referencing Senkuu Ishigami from the anime "Dr. Stone".
**Jax calls Gangle "Bänderriss" ("Torn ligaments") instead of "Ribbons". The word "Bänderriss", while meaning "Torn ligaments", directly translates to "Ribbon-tear" (tear as in torn apart).
**Gummigoo says "Diese Stutenkerle kennen einfach kein Pardon, oder?" ("Those Stutenkerls just don't know a pardon, do they?"). Stutenkerls (literally: "Stuten guys") are a pastry made from "Stuten" and part of the German Saint Nicholas tradition.
**Gummigoo asks Pomni "Was seid ihr für Freaks?" ("What are you freaks?"). This is a direct callback to Pomni asking "Wer seid ihr Freaks?" ("Who are you freaks?") in the Pilot.
**The Fudge says "Na, ihr Nudeln?" ("Hey, you noodles"). This is a reference to German YouTuber, Streamer and Musician "Taddl" or "TJ_beastboy".
**Kinger says "Deine Haare sind im Eimer" ("Your hairs are in the bucket"). The German idiom of something "being in the bucket" refers to something having gone wrong and/or being ugly. At the same time, he pulls out a bucket and puts it over Ragatha's head, making this a play on words.
**Gummigoo says "Dann mal ran an den Mäusespeck" ("Let's get to the mouse-fat"). "Mäusespeck" ("mouse-fat") is a German way to refer to Marshmallow mass. At the same time, "Ran an den Speck" ("Let's get to the fat") is a German idiom meaning "Let's do this".
**Pomni says "Schauen wir mal was wird" ("Let's see what happens") with Gummigoo responding "Was wird" ("What happens"). This is a direct reference to a German meme from the show "Bares für Rares".
**Caine says "Willkommen zurück, meine kleinen krossen Genossen" ("Welcome back, my little crispy comrades"). This is a callback to "POMNI WAKE UP TIME TO GO ON AN ADVENTURE" where Caine refered to Pomni's "funny buddies" as "krosse Genossen" in the German dub.
*In the beginning of the episode, the "Pomni"s that are said as flashback are not in the same order as in the English dub. The German dub even uses some "Pomni"s that go unused in the original.
*The German subtitles for the episode were released later than intended due to an oversight.
===Other===
*The team behind the German TADC Dub is the same as behind the German Dub for Murder Drones, having most cast members appear in both shows:
**Svenja Praß (German voice of Pomni) also voices Tessa.
**Nils Wicke (German voice of Caine) also voices the teacher.
**Julian Göke (German voice of Jax) also voices Braidon and several other side characters.
**Susanna Cuda (German voice of Ragatha) also voices J.
**Lara Tronschel (German voice of Gangle) also voices Emily.
**Vanessa Strauch (German voice of Zooble, Sun and Moon) also voices Uzi.
**Charly Landmann (German voice of Kinger) also voices several side characters.
**Oliver Matzke (German voice of the Gloink Queen and Town Maniac) also voices N.
**Niklas Wiese (German voice of the fudge monster) also voices Lord Frumptlebucket.
*Due to there being no non-binary pronouns in German (except for rarely used neo-pronouns), the dub never calls Zooble by any pronouns.
*The German VAs of Jax and Caine have dubbed a fan animatic into German ("Jax breaks the filter") and the German VAs of Caine and Pomni have dubbed a fan animation into German ("Caine and Pomni rob a bank").
*The German subtitles for the May 2024 merch announcement "A Very Special Digital Circus Song" feature a few changes:
**Caine says that the song starts at "second 13" instead of "12:30" as it does in fact start at timecode "00:13".
**Caine also tells Zooble to "move [their] beany hips" instead of "angelic pipes".
**Kinger calls himself "swing-er" instead of "singer".
**The song text overall saw some changes due to it being translated with rhymes instead of a 1:1 translation of the English text.
**Gummigoo says "Was wird" instead of "crikey", referencing the German meme that was already referenced in episode 2.
**Caine makes a reference to "Karius und Baktus", an originally Norwegian puppet movie and later German radio play about the dangers of not brushing ones teeth.
**Also, within the subtitles, Jax refers to Zooble by feminine pronouns instead of no pronouns at all.
