## Trivia

* Grup becomes the Royal Official Entertainer up until the end of the episode.
* Robopiggeh made a cameo appearance as he walked outside with a sandwich.
* This is the second time the Cave of Stuff had a different theme. The first theme is bees in "The Wrath of Neddy".
* This episode features the most character appearances of recurring characters in the series.
	+ This episode marks Docky Boardman, TreeJay and Nohyas' debut in the TV series.

## Cultural references

* When Vambre says "That'll do, Grup That'll do!" is a reference to a minisode "Walkies" as she brushed Oinkus Oinkus Magisword and the ending of the movie, *Babe*.

## Production notes

* This episode was actually an animatic written by Luke Sienkowski that got him the job at the Mighty Magiswords series. Around the time, the 3-minute Mighty Magiswords shorts were finished and Kyle wanted Luke to be on the show. Of course, Kyle's boss at Cartoon Network had to give Luke a test. His job was to create a storyboard focusing on the Warriors given a task. He went through the wrong direction and improvised a full animatic with voices and sounds done by Luke. This ultimately led Luke to be a storyboard revisionist, writer and voice actor on the show. Additional characters/storyboards were done by Zoe Moss.

## Episode connections

* Vambre's fear of squirrels from "Squirreled Domination" brought up again in this episode.
* Old Man Oldman shouting "Curse you Warriors" may be a callback to the short "Hands Down".

## Real-world references

* The song The Mysterious Hooded Woman was singing is "Aba Daba Honeymoon" written by Arthur Fields and Walter Donovan.
	+ This is the first instance in Magiswords where someone sings a real-life song.
