* RaceNameBasis: When the Dictator of Krankor [[BreakingTheReviewersWall appears on the Satellite at the end]], Mike introduces him as "my wife, Krankor?" Aside from the obvious joke (Krankor is not Mike's wife in this or any other universe), Krankor is the name of the planet the invaders are from. (He's also not the Phantom of Krankor the Phantom Dictator of Krankor, cool as either might sound, but rather Phantom, Dictator of Krankor -- as in his name is Phantom.)



* ShoutOut: At the beginning, the camera zooms in on a house. Mike hums the ''Series/LeaveItToBeaver'' theme.
