* FridgeBrilliance: In the second crossover with the Ninja Turtles, Peter and Michelangelo end up in an AlternateUniverse populated by FunnyAnimals -- including turtle Ghostbusters. They are apparently named after the actors who played their counterparts in the original films and ''WesternAnimation/TheRealGhostbusters''. Ray's counterpart's last name being the only one mentioned makes sense, as Peter's and Winston's voice actors changed over the course of the series, whereas Ray's and Egon's did not. Narrative flow aside, only using first names for the others kept the writers from having to choose which voice actors' last names to use.

* DevelopmentGag:
** The guide who helps Ray through his dreams bears a resemblance to Creator/JohnBelushi (specifically, in ''Film/TheBluesBrothers''), who would have played Venkman in the films had it not been for his untimely death.
** The rival ghost removal team is called the "Ghost Smashers", the original name for the film.
* RecycledScript: "Ghost Smashers" is recycled from the ''WesternAnimation/TheRealGhostbusters'' episode "Robo-Buster". In both, someone steals plans of the Ghostbusters' tech, creates amplified versions of it that allegedly destroys ghosts instead of trapping them, which results in the residual PK energy forming into a monstrous amalgamation.
