Something Fishy/Trivia

==Trivia==
*This is one of the few episodes where Pop is missing his pipe for the entirety of the episode.
*Out of all the characters in this episode, Lumpy is the only one who has actual conversation. All the other characters either sigh, gasp or say "Huh?", which is just an expression word.
*Even though Russell has a starring role, he didn't do much until the end of the episode, similar to Snow Place to Go.
*On the blackboard are pictures of Cuddles in his old design trying to put a fork in a socket (which is based on official artwork that can be seen in places such as the First Blood DVD cover), Sniffles, several generic tree friends, Lumpy upside-down, a generic tree friend about to get crushed by a weight, and Fliqpy holding a gun and a grenade.
*This is the final episode to have the “Now in glorious....HIGH DEFINITION” in the intro.
*Flaky is the only character to have survived being attacked by the fish.
*All of the characters that the Piranha eats are the same characters who feature and survive in the episode Put Your Back Into It.
*The writers poke fun at the early debate over Flaky's gender by having her ponder over which bathroom to enter. It is quite debatable as to whether she entered the boys' bathroom or the girls' bathroom, as when Petunia was eaten, she did not see any blood or hear Petunia scream. This could be a goof or a surefire way of Flaky being male. Still, Flaky may have most likely been in the girls' bathroom, since it would take Russell's piranha longer to get from the girls' bathroom to the boys' bathroom (however, it could have cut through time).
**This was just for fun, though, as the creators eventually confirmed Flaky's gender to be female.
*Mime is snoring as Lumpy lectures the class. This marks the fourth time that Mime has been able to produce a sound vocally (the other three being Happy Trails Pt. 1, Out of Sight, Out of Mime and Keepin' it Reel).
*Giggles imitates Lumpy's angry groaning after the piranha scares away Mittens.
*Lumpy takes off Russell's hat, revealing one long, curly strand of hair which has not been seen in previous episodes.
*This is the first internet episode Handy has survived since Happy Trails Pt. 1, all the way back in season one.
*This is the first regular episode to have Pop appear without Cub. He also appears without him in his Smoochie, Milk Pong, and Tunnel Vision.
*The YouTube thumbnail for this episode spoils Russell's death.
**The YouTube thumbnail for the Blurb version spoils Flaky's injury.
*When Mime and Sniffles perform the Vulcan salute, they are seen with four fingers and a thumb. This is not considered a goof, however, as they need that many fingers in order to perform the salute correctly.
*In the sneak peak for the episode, Lumpy is shown smiling while teaching. In the actual episode, however, he is not seen smiling.
*This is one of the few episodes where there is a large cast but only a few characters die.
*This episode marks the second instance of a fishbowl getting stuck on a character's head, the first being Handy in Shard at Work.
*This is the first internet episode in which Russell stars since Get Whale Soon.
*On the blackboard, there is a math question that reads:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------3+6-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------17--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------5--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------9
*This is the only season 3 episode that Nutty survives.
*The Blurb version of this episode was uploaded to YouTube before being uploaded to mondomedia.com, much like the Blurb version of I Nub You.
*Giggles is partially responsible for her own death in this episode, as she taunted the piranha, resulting in it jumping into her cup, and she ends up swallowing it.
*Even though Russell's piranha was responsible for all of the deaths in this episode, it could be assumed that it was mostly Russell's fault of bringing it to school in the first place.
** If this is the case, Russell is indirectly responsible for every death in the episode.
**Lumpy is indirectly responsible for Mime and Sniffles' deaths, as he put the fishbowl on Russell's head.
***The piranha is also indirectly responsible for Mime and Sniffles' deaths, as it was the reason Russell was swinging his flag as it was eating his head.
*Cuddles is the only primary character who physically does not appear in this episode.
==Cultural References==
*The term "something fishy" means that something is wrong.
*The plot of the school play is a reference to Star Trek. The red uniforms of the actors are a reference to the fact that characters in the show with red uniforms are often cannon fodder.
*When Russell dies, he resembles Vashta Nerada, a villain in the BBC television series Dr. Who.
==Superlatives==
*Mime's death is similar to Cuddles' death in Banjo Frenzy and Aw, Shucks!.
*Russell's death is similar to Kenny's death in the South Park episode "Spookyfish", as they both get their heads forced into a fish bowl, and get their head torn apart by the fish inside. Most importantly, his death is also similar to that of Todd Dupree's death in Piranha 3D.
*Russell's death is similar to his own death in Sea of Love.
==Production Notes==
*This is the first episode in which Lori Jee voices Petunia and Giggles instead of Ellen Connell.
