  Episode Notes  
During the credits, animation director Kimson Albert had a nickname added to his credit, which was a gag from the episode:"Go Team Boobies". It reads, Kimson "Go Team Boobies" Albert.
 
The episode had credited a "Special Thanks" to Vishal Roney & Jennifer Stephens.
 
As like on The Buddy System, there was no opening title sequence for this episode, just a small interlace scene where we see blood (or red paint) spattering on the background of the show's logo, dividing the first scene and the main episode.
