* AmazingTechnicolorWildlife: A lot of the characters are reasonably brown and yellow, though of brighter shades, but there are those with colors irregular for their real life counterparts like Quills, a blue [[PricklyPorcupine porcupine]], and Buford, a teal sheep.



* WholePlotReference: The episode "Orange is the New Black Belt", beside [[Series/OrangeIsTheNewBlack the obvious]], is a reference to Literature/AClockworkOrange. Dilweed and Fungus were sent to prison after a ban on kung-fu and were subjected to a variant of TheLudovicoTechnique where they are forced to watch a movie with Woodchuck Morris doing un-kung-fu-ey stuff to redirect their interest to knitting. It didn't work as they knitted violent objects, like a [[BeyondTheImpossible working rocket launcher]].
