- Quotes
Brock Samson: After the twist, you'll hear a snap. Then the body goes ragdoll on ya.
Hank Venture: And that will knock him out... even more?
Brock Samson: That'll kill him.
Hank Venture: Do I have to?
Brock Samson: Alright fine, crybaby. Just tie him up and, maybe I guess gag him. But at the first sign of trouble I want you to at least break both his knees
- Crazy creditsOne of the animation directors (Kimson Albert) gets to have a "nickname" inserted into his credits. The nickname is an unusual line or word from the preceding episode. This is included in all Season One episodes except the pilot (where Mr. Albert is credited only as a "Computer Animator". Dia De Los Dangerous!

- ConnectionsReferences Best of Bowie (2002)
It is funnier and cleverer than I remembered, upon rewatch.
This episode further cements Venture Bros as Truly one Of the funniest and best cartoons ever made, in my opinion. The consistency of quality with first season episodes is staggering. The vision and execution is near perfection.
The scene with Brock's superhuman clenching abilities is fantastic.
Love the Dr Orpheus cameo - who better to deal with a mournful spirit.
