Trivia / Squidbillies

• Adored by the Network: Adult Swim really goes out of its way to promote the show to no end, notable in its bumps, going as far criticizing people for not watching it and as of August 11, 2019, it has the most seasons out of every other Adult Swim show. They were even notified years ahead of time on when the show would end so they can properly make a final season, a courtesy 99% of other Adult Swim shows do not get it.
• Banned Episode: The episodes "Southern Pride and Prejudice" and "Blue Lives Battered" were pulled from HBO Max and the Adult Swim App as of August 2020 in the wake of George Floyd's murder and the ensuing "Black Lives Matter" protests against police brutality.
• Bonus Episode: There is a little known episode titled "Trucked Up II: Glenn's Revenge". The plot takes place during the events of "Trucked Up!" entirely from Glenn's depressingly boring perspective. It was featured in the Volume 5 DVD and was never shown on television.
• Celebrity Voice Actor: Tracy Morgan voices Early in the final season of the show. This status is actually deliberately used in the first episode of the season, where Early reveals he will be talking with this voice "from now until the end of the show".
  Early: [To the camera] That's right, haters! Get used to it!
  [He winks and folds his arms as the words "Introducing Tracy Morgan as Early Cuyler" come over the screen]
• Character Outlives Actor: After the death of his voice actor, the Reverend moves on to a better place... First Presbyterian in Blue Ridge.
• Cross-Dressing Voices: Granny is voiced by the male Dana Snyder.
• Died During Production: Scott Hilley, who voiced Reverend Teardrop, died on September 8, 2015.
• Distanced from Current Events: After Unknown Hinson was fired for his comments towards Dolly Parton and Black Lives Matter in August 2020, Adult Swim cancelled a marathon of the show that was supposed to take place a couple of weeks later in favor of a Superjail! one instead.
• Official Fan-Submitted Content: Sort of. Tammi was based on a character created by a fan who later befriended the show's lead animation. Despite loving the character and trying to get her on the show, some behind-the-scenes politics at Turner wouldn't let him, so they compromised by creating a vaguely similar character.
• The Other Darrin:
  • Charles Napier (who was uncredited) was the voice of the Sheriff in the first nine episodes, being replaced by Bobby Ellerbee afterwards.
  • Tracy Morgan takes over the role of Early Cuyler in the final season.
• The Other Marty: Unknown Hinson recorded all his dialogue for Season 13 before his firing.
• Role-Ending Misdemeanor: Unknown Hinson was fired from his role as Early Cuyler after making offensive comments about Dolly Parton and the Black Lives Matter movement (which Parton had expressed support for) in 2020. Tracy Morgan replaced Hinson for Season 13.
• Stunt Casting: Played for laughs with the above — not only is Tracy Morgan a much bigger, more recognizable name than the rest of the cast, but he's a purposefully absurd choice for Early (sounding absolutely nothing like Unknown Hinson, or anyone else but himself for that matter), and he only voices the character for a single season, the show's last.
• Write What You Know: Both of the shows creators Dave Willis and Jim Fortier grew up in the south, and base a large chunk of the humor off their experiences there.
• Write Who You Know: The creators have stated that when writing for Early, whenever he's making a decision they'll just have him do what one of their childhood friends would do...which isn't very flattering.
