** The whole episode is a parody of reality talent shows. The title paraphrases ''Series/TheXFactor'', the format for the "Da Throne" is based on ''Series/TheVoice'', the Wild Card seems to be a jab at the gimmick of ''Series/TheMaskedSinger'', and the golden buzzer is a pretty clear reference to ''Series/AmericasGotTalent''.
