## Trivia

* Even though the episode's title features three animals, "worms" is the only name that is shown in the intro.
* Eddie Murphy is referenced a couple of times. When Mike is wearing a red jacket, Phil commented he looks like Eddie Murphy in *Delirious*. Phil and Mike later stated they adore Eddie Murphy. When Phil and Mike are confronted by Charly, Mike thought doing bits of Eddie Murphy to fool her and Phil suggested doing some on Chinese people, referencing Eddie's jokes on Chinese people. When Mike regenerated a new tail with a new head, the other end resembles Eddie Murphy.
* When Phil got impressed with Mike's arm gestures with the jacket's sleeves, Phil asked Mike to pose as the "thinking man" and latter got one of his arm sleeves almost close to his chin, which is loosely a reference to *The Thinker*.
* When Mike and Phil suggest to test to their arm gestures with claiming to do "Alec Kay research", which it could possibly referencing Alec Kay who is practicing physical therapy, and post-graduated studies included completion of a Master of Orthopedic Manual Therapy and a Doctor of Manual Therapy degree.
* The mother bird got a piece of popcorn from Steve Buscemi's backyard.
* The father possum mentions John Turturro's character John Stone in *The Night Of* of describing the ending of the show's episode *The Beach* of John Stone stepping in to represent Naz.
* When the father possum and Matthew discuss the use between "opossum" and "possum" with the former going with "opossum" as a show of respect and the latter just going by "possum". It is possible an in-joke as opossums are commonly referred as possums, as with the Virginia opossum as it is generally referred to as "possum".
	+ The episode's title also has the word "possum" in it as an in-joke.
* After father possum kills mother bird, he questions if "killing things is better than a cup of coffee" should be phrase. It reference David Lynch's phrase, "Even bad coffee is better… than no coffee at all."
* The father possum stated he is seven weeks older than Matthew, and both of them are born on the same season of *Better Call Saul*.
* At the end of the episode, the narrator stated the script is written for Morgan Freeman.
* The fourth wall was broken a couple of times:
	+ Phil suggested wearing costumes having arms by going into a "movie alpha changing montage scene", and again with Phil and Mike with the former suggesting going into another montage of testing out the use of their "arms" with Mike agreeing since the first montage was really short.
	+ The narrator greatly broke the fourth wall numerous time while narrating the plot. When the narrator gets to the father possum setting up dinner for Matthew, he asked for some water. After Traitor Drug Dealer fells unconscious after shooting Worm-For-All & All-For-Worm, the narrator responded, "This is why you don't do drugs, kids." When the narrator directs back to Charly and Egg, one of his comments is "It's a TV show. We can do that.", referencing the show itself. When narrating Mike and Phil crawling home, he recalls asking for water. When narrating the ending, he mentioned the narration being performed by Bill Callahan, referencing himself.
