## Trivia

* The "clean-up music" Kitty Scanner plays towards the end of the episode has a part that sounds like "Pop Punk", a pseudo-fourth wall break.
* The episode takes place on Friday the 13th, a day often considered to bring superstitious misfortune.
	+ Coincidentally, this episode premiered in the US on a week that had a Friday the 13th.
* This episode takes place in February because the calendar is shown to have only twenty-eight days.
	+ In fact, this episode takes place on Friday, February 13, the day before Valentine's Day.
* It is revealed that Cindy Pops is the only sibling who can keep the school from ending up in a pile of rubble or ashes.
* It is revealed that Cindy Pops is very good at playing video games.
* It is revealed that the Kindi Kids also own four pet fish, and so far, this is their only appearance.
* During the scene where the kids sneak past Cindy Pops' room into Beary Chill's room, Jessicake is wearing the shades she had in "Feast of Fancy".
* The situations made by Beary Chill's kids:

	+ Bunny Cart and Rainbow Kate - The former being chased while on the school phone by the latter's fake spider.
	+ Kitty Scanner - Playing her music too loud.
	+ Summer Peaches - Pouring dirt, and using a water hose for her dirt bike.
	+ Donatina and Jessicake - Having a food fight.
	+ Peppa-Mint - Doing her weird science experiments.
	+ Apple Blossom - Running around without her diaper on.
		- Cindy Pops and Marsha Mello were the only kids who did not cause any disasters. This is due to the former originally being put in charge before Beary Chill overthrows her, and takes her job, and the latter standing guard in front of Cindy Pops and Bunny Cart's room.

* Lexi Janicek, who portrays Peppa-Mint in live-action, considers Peppa-Mint's line, "Those are really shiny. Are they too heavy for you? Maybe I can hold one." to be one of her favorite lines from the series.
* Mrs. R. Bow is revealed to own a particular, expensive type of perfume, which she only wears while on date nights with The Friendship Chair.

## References

* ***Charades*** - The title references the phrase "no guts, no glory," which means that success doesn't come without the courage to take risks.
	+ This pun is kept in several foreign dubs of the series too:

		- Arabic: الحزورات [alhuzurat]
		- Dutch: Charades
		- Latin American Spanish: Charadas

* ***Street Fighter*** - The title screen for Beary Chill's game is in a similar font to this Capcom fighting series as seen in arcades and gaming consoles.
* ***NES and Nintendo 64*** - The game console Beary Chill has seems to have some similarities with the Nintendo Entertainment System, in terms of its design, but the game cartridges for it look more like those for Nintendo 64 games.
* ***AC/DC*** - Before Kitty Scanner starts to jam on her guitar with her numerous amps setup. She says "For those about to rock" which is a reference to the 1981 song *For Those About to Rock (We Salute You)*. This is the first time this song was referenced in the show, preceding "For Bros About to Rock" and "Cereal Offender".
* ***The Pink Panther*** - The scene in which Rainbow Kate slides from the wall to Beary Chill's bedroom is the same as that of the Pink Panther episode "The Pink Phink".

## Errors

* Cindy Pops says no phone calls allowed, but she doesn't realize that she's breaking her own rule by talking to Zoom the Ambulance Unicorn.
	+ However that is because she is the boss and is also in charge.
* When Cindy Pops' siblings are carrying her while she's tied up in the chair, her slip-ons are black instead of blue.
	+ Also, when Cindy Pops starts to laugh at Beary Chill being left in charge, her eyelid is her skin tone, not the color of her eye shadow.
	+ This error also occurs in "A Tattler's Tale" and "Feast of Fancy".
* When Cindy Pops pulls out the schedule of the evening, the title up top says "Cindy Pops' Rules" instead of "Cindy Pops' Schedule".
* Rainbow Kate has camouflage on her, but when Bunny Cart comes in Beary Chill's room for the meeting, the camouflage disappears.
* Beary Chill got hit by a slice of pizza and waffles in Donatina and Jessicake's food fight, but in the next scene, Beary Chill doesn't have food on her.
* Right after Beary Chill takes away the whistle from Cindy Pops and broke the string, the string of the whistle is somehow fixed.
* It is unknown how Bunny Cart knew about the secret meeting in Beary Chill's room as Cindy Pops would have prevented her from opening the door to receive the note. This is even more apparent when it seems that Bunny Cart leaving to Beary Chill's room is the first time that night Bunny Cart went towards the door.
* When Peppa-Mint's creature grabs Apple Blossom with its tentacle in the scene where the kids clean up, Apple Blossom is shown to be giggling, but no giggling sound is heard.
* In the Latin American Spanish dub, Jessicake says, "Ma'am, yes ma'am!" like her siblings as opposed to "Sir, yes sir!" So, it wouldn't make sense for Cindy Pops to glare at Jessicake for addressing her properly like how she did in the English version when she called her "sir".
* It's unknown how Cindy Pops knew about The Friendship Chair's golf club getting damaged, as she was in her room, and didn't see Marsha Mello hit Beary Chill with it.
* In the Hungarian dub, when Jessicake was about to fishing only to be stopped by Beary Chill, she calls her "Marsha Mello".
