## Cameos in *Evil Con Carne*

* In "*Everybody Loves Uncle Bob*", Billy and Mandy's faces could be seen in the audience of children. Later, a plush doll, resembling Grim was thrown at the stage.
* In "Ultimate Evil", When Ghastly explained how one of the consequences of Hector's current plan would end in death, she projected a picture of Grim on a hologram.
* In "Gridlocked and Loaded", a bobble head of Grim was seen. During the ending credits, Billy was in the car next to General Skarr, making annoying faces at him and even mooning him, before Skarr decided to blow him up with his death ray.

## Trivia

* In the ending credits, there is a secret message which is played backwards. When played normally it will say; "No, no. This is the *end* of the show. You're watching it backwards." The voice is none other than series creator, Maxwell Atoms.
* Atoms stated in a 2014 blog that if he could bring back the series, he would like to work on other projects. In 2021, he tried to pitch a grand finale movie to *Cartoon Network*, but they turned it down because they believed modern viewers were not familiar with the franchise.
* The series lasted for six seasons, with the entire first season being 49 shorts from *Grim & Evil*, and the bonus short "Five-O-Clock Shadows".
