* This is the first episode of the DVD Third Strike.
* The cow in this episode is later seen with a similar appearance (when it becomes scrawny) in Dunce Upon a Time.
*One of the items Lifty and Shifty throw out of the balloon is The Cursed Idol. The idol may have been the cause of Lifty and Shifty’s deaths.
*The reindeer from Reindeer Kringle is visible in the background while Lifty is impaled on a tree.
*This episode contains the first instance in the internet series and one of only five instances in the entire series that Lifty dies before Shifty.
*When Lifty is impaled on the tree, the way his organs wrap around the tree resemble Christmas decorations.
**This could probably be the reason The Reindeer is seen in Lifty's death.
*Shifty is responsible for every death in this episode. (Though Lifty helped Shifty kill Lumpy)
*Lifty appears to scream Shifty's name when was thrown out of the hot air balloon. This is one of only four instances in the entire series where a character calls another character by his/her name, the other being in Water Way to Go, Home Is Where the Hurt Is and Hear Today, Gone Tomorrow

==Cultural References==
*The meaning of the phrase "milking it" means to spoil something or to drag something out to long (like a franchise).
*The meaning of the moral of this episode means to not get upset over small problems.
==Superlatives==
*Lifty's death is similar to Cuddles' death from Who's to Flame? and his own death in Buns of Steal.
*Lumpy's injury before death is similar to Nutty's injury before death in A Sucker for Love Part 2
*Lumpy's death is similar to Cuddles' death in Junk In The Trunk.
==Production Notes==
*Lumpy was supposed to be holding a plunger in this episode according to the storyboard.
*A deleted scene for this episode was featured on the DVD Third Strike. In it, when the cow became thin and scrawny, Lifty was seen jumping up and down while holding onto the udder to make more milk come out. The creators changed it because they thought the scene was too harsh.
