** Brown Widow is a more anatomically correct version of ComicBook/SpiderMan, complete with a web shooter in his ass. His interest in performing in Dr. Venture's musical is a reference to the failed Broadway play: ''Theatre/SpiderManTurnOffTheDark''. The shot of Brown Widow catching the cab in a web recreates a shot from the opening credits of ''WesternAnimation/SpiderMan1967.'' There are several other Spider-Man references in this episode as well.

* WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: Most of the villains in the TerribleIntervieweesMontage have very lame powers, if they have powers at all. Mr. Polygamy has the power of polygamy, Giant Indian can "grow" by ''barely an inch'' (Prof. Impossible has to squint to even notice the difference. It turns out he was ''standing on his toes''), and Fat Chance (who they actually hire) can pull random items out of his belly button.

* StealthPun: Brick Frog, [[HarmlessVillain a villain in a frog costume who throws bricks from a sack]], attempts to interview with the Revenge Society. It sounds like the same type of PunnyName most other villains in the series have, but it has an extra layer - the "frog" of a brick is the indentation in its center.

** The Revenge Society's plan to kidnap Rusty by having Ünderbheit pretend to be a cab driver runs into an issue with Professor Impossible putting the gas machine in the front of the car. This still nearly kills Rusty because the cab nearly crashes.
** The Revenge Society's second plan to kill Rusty almost succeeds, but because they shut off the lights, Fat Chance trips over Phantom Limb's invisible leg and sends Rusty to another universe. Fat Chance rightly points out that shutting off the lights had no practical purpose.
