== Trivia ==
* This segment is believed to be inspired by the novel Treasure Island.
* In the original theatrical shorts, the Rascals encountered pirates in the short "Shiver My Timbers". There may be some minor callbacks to that short in this episode.
* The title of this segment may have been inspired by an episode of The Ruff & Reddy Show, but this segment has a completely different storyline and its title was pluralized.
* The title "Irate Pirates" was also used for an Undercover Elephant segment on CB Bears.
* It is the only segment in the series in which Darla wears a bikini, which has a darker shade of pink than her usual dress. It is also the only 11-minute segment in the series that Darla does not wear her usual wardrobe throughout the segment.
* Darla was seen barefoot in this entire segment. She was also seen barefoot for 4½ non-consecutive seconds in "Cap'n Spanky's Showboat", despite wearing her usual dress.
* The boat the Rascals used to row to the small island was branded as the S.S. Buckwheat.
* The beard and semi-dark skin tone on one of the pirates closely resembles Captain Smokey in "Cap'n Spanky's Showboat".
