  Episode Goofs  
When Dr. Orpheus and Triana are arrowing, Triana mentions that she's been afraid to go near the closet all her life. But she's only been living their for about 2 years now.
Although their could be three possibilities to back this up.
1) We see Dr. Orpheus take out memories of events from her, he could also implant memories.
2) Their previous house had the same feature on her room.
3) Or Dr. Orpheus could of recreate in a series of magic the same layout of their previous house.
 
On a similar note, Triana mentions that shes afraid of going near the closet to the extant of wearing the same close over and over everyday, but we have seen her were different types of clothing, from "Assassinanny 911" where she was wearing a different style shirt to go in the pool; to other episodes from season one.

But that could only be an exaggeration of the truth, if she never had a normal closet, then why would she of put close in their to begin with. She could of many cloths other then in her closet.
 
On the Episode "Tag Sale - You're IT! " we see Pete White and Master Billy Quizboy wanting to buy Dr. Venture's "Shrinking gun", but after much commotion after many people wanting to buy "multiple" versions of the gun, he decided not sell the guns to no one.

The fact is that Dr. Venture had multiple copies of the shrinking gun and that he decided not to sell them at the end of the episode.

Brock # 2: And I thought he smelled bad ... on the outside!

The entire scene was almost a parody of Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back.
Where Luke and Han were in a planet called Hoth which is snow filled planet. Luke is freezing to death and his only method of survival Han thought of was to open the remains of a creature known as "Tauntaun " and sticks Luke in it. Han say while opening the beasts insides: "And I thought they smelled bad ... on the outside!"

Feature characters from all over history that were shown in this episode include:
Sigmund Freud,
Caligula,
Edgar Allan Poe.

 
Even though the overall show is a take on "The adventures of Johnny Quest " worth mentioning similarities and spoof included on this episode:
• The Opening sequence, where Brock and Dr. Venture are wearing Scuba gear for no reason, also the frogmen (henchmen wearing scuba gear )
• Master Billy Quizboy's affinity for a "Venture Bros lunch box".
• Dr. Venture as being a "Boy Adventure"
 
The episode's title was a take on other shows, specifically cartoon type shows that have two part episodes.
 
The Cult which The Venture family and Brock get held by don't have a specific name, We only know they worship the Egyptian god "Osiris"
 
Dr. Orpheus tells Dr. Venture the following:
Dr. Orpheus: ... I could make you think you were in a very special episode of Blossom

Blossom was a mid 90s teen sitcom show that revolved around the life of a teenager.
 
When Pete White enters his house with Master Billy Quizboy, Pete argues with Billy and mentions the following:

Pete White : Nah, nah.. your thinking of Roger Lodge. Joe Rogan is the host of "Fear Factor.

Although it is uncertain why Billy would mistake the two actors, it is speculated that Billy mistakens the two since their both American TV hosts for game show type of reality TV.

Joe Rogan is the host of "Fear Factor".
Roger Lodge is the host of "Blind Date".
 
While Brock is chocking Edgar Allan Poe for the location of the "Hand of Osiris" Edgar says the following

Edgar Allan Poe: ... under the floor boards

This is directly spoofing Edgar Allan Poe 's the Tall Tail Heart. Where in the famous poem, a man commits a murder and stashes the body under the floor boards of the floor.
 
Dr. Venture, When Pete and Master Billy Quizboy are making a small quiz, their answers go as follows:

Dr. Venture: What did you guys come up with for lets say number two?
When Pete: number two? Rita Pearlman. What you put down?

H.E.L.P.eR wears a blindfold and smokes a cigarette before Master Billy Quizboy shoots him with the shrinking gun. spoofing all movies associated with Execution by firing squad.
 
Master Billy Quizboy mentions the following to Pete White wile Pete is trying to shoot him with the shrinking gun:
Master Billy Quizboy: Yeah, nice shot William Burroughs. you hold the gun like a guy who plays ribbon. Now put it to reverse and fix me.

William S. Burroughs is known for accidentally killing his wife wife when he shot her in the face while trying to knock a glass off her head by shooting it.

And Ribbon of course referring to the from of gymnastics.
 
Pete White uses the shrinking gun for another time on Billy. Billy's body grows instead of shrinking and Pete's reaction to how Billy looks like is mentions as follows:

Pete White: You look like Tobey Maguire In a bad Hulk costume.

Both Tobey Maguire of "Spider-man" fame and "Hulk"are characters from the Marvel universe. and owned by Marvel Comics inc.
 
When Triana mentions to Dr. Orpheus about how she never changes clothing, he tells her the following:

Dr. Orpheus: Come now, Archie and his indolent companion Jughead wear the same clothes everyday. I thought it was and adolescent phase of yours.

Archie Andrews and Jughead Jones are fictional characters from the 1940's comic book titled "Archie". Dr. Orpheus refers to Hank and Dean to them for several reasons: the way they act, the way they look, and of course their clothing in this case.
 
  Episode References  
We now have some sort of of idea why Triana wasn't bothered by the cloning of Hank and Dean, as seen in the episode "Powerless in the Face of Death". We see Dr. Orpheus put her to sleeping make her forget what happened, during a fight they had.
 
Pete White and "Tag Sale -- You're It!" bought the Shrink Ray Gun off of Dr. Venture in the episode "Tag Sale -- You're It!".
 
On the Venture Bros. season one DVD commentary for the episode "Tag Sale, You're It!", the narrator commenting, Doc Hammer, mentions that his intentions for using phosphate as the source of the shrinking gun's ability to shrink material is that off Team Venture venturing off to Egypt for possible adventures. Phosphate is naturally occurring substance in Egypt.
Here's a quote from the episode:
Pete White: Nope nothing happened, I told you the phosphates were too old.
