==Cultural References==
*The title of this episode is part of the saying "everything but the kitchen sink," which means to find many items, but most of them are not necessary to use. The title of the episode is also a reference to the The Beatles song, And Your Bird Can Sing.
*The meaning of the moral "Don't throw the baby out with the bath water" means to not throw something valuable (Cub) away with something that is undesirable (dirty bath water).
*The way Pop puts Cub in the kitchen sink could be a reference to the movie, Matilda.
==Superlatives==
*Flaky and Toothy's deaths are similar to the Fall Out Boy band member's deaths in The Carpal Tunnel of Love.
*Lifty and Shifty's deaths are similar to Cuddles' injury from Just Be Claus and Petunia's injury from See What Develops.
==Continuity==
*The sink later appears in Every Litter Bit Hurts, polluting the lake.
==Production Notes==
*When this episode was uploaded on Youtube along with The Wrong Side of the Tracks and From Hero to Eternity, the alternate title for the conglomeration of segments was "One Foot in the Grave". Cuddles, Giggles, Flaky, Lifty, and Shifty appear in all three of these episodes. Cuddles, Giggles (Debatable), Lifty, and Shifty die in all three, while Flaky dies twice.
*In the original storyboard version of this episode, as can be seen in the TV Series DVD Vol. 1, the sequence of events leading to Pop and Cub going over a waterfall was shorter. Instead of stopping at a cliff, Pop drives through a railing by a curve in the road and drops straight into the water, with the rope keeping Cub attached snapping mid-air. Pop and Cub both hit the water at the same time, and Pop emerges from the car wreckage alone before spotting Cub and swimming to him. According to the cast commentary, the sequence was extended to fill out the episode's runtime.
*According to the Director's Commentary, this was the first episode to be animated.
*Mark Giambruno's voice was sampled for Lifty and Shifty.
