No Celebrities Were Harmed: D.D.'s voice is based off of Gilbert Gottfried. Henrietta Horvitz is named after voice artist Richard Steven Horvitz while she is modeled after Major Doctor Ghastly from Evil Con Carne. Dirty Dick Avery is named after both Dick Wolf, creator of Law & Order, and cartoonist Tex Avery; whom is known for using wolves in his cartoons. Hades' voice was based off of General Skarr from Evil Con Carne.

Simple Solution Won't Work

comment
Simple Solution Won't Work: After The Grover Guys teleported to Dirty Dick's cabin, Beanie suggested that they could've teleported outside of the cabin so that they can make a dramatic entrance. Mikey and D.D. dismissed the idea since they blew their animation budget on the teleportation effects and that making it to the cabin was good enough. Beanie begrudgingly agrees as a result.

Delayed Reaction
 The Grover Guys (Web Animation) / int_3fb6b526
comment
Delayed Reaction: Henrietta was relieved of being freed from the puddle before realizing that she was rescued by Dirty Dick, and began screaming after tossing her pogo stick. Later in the short when Henrietta was being tortured to watch terrible '50s cartoon shows, it took until Henrietta calmly removing the tape from her mouth to complain about the cartoons out-loud.

Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?
 The Grover Guys (Web Animation) / int_5beef860
comment
Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Henrietta does not like the use of pogo sticks as transportation, especially since she later got in a mud puddle. At one point, she complained on how the Grover Guys preferred that over double-dutching over a candle-stick while wearing roller-skates.

How Is That Even Possible?: To avoid another pogo stick incident like earlier, Henrietta lied to the Grover Guys stating that a bulimic crocodile ate her pogo stick. Although accepting it at first, towards the end, in the middle of the night, the Grover Guys question on how that was possible.

Take This Job and Shove It: The narrator briefly quits out of annoyance of the Grover Guys taking too long to think of a rescue plan, as well as being insulted from D.D. calling them an "underpaid narrator". They return towards the end as it's required by their contract to conclude the story.

Shout-Out
 The Grover Guys (Web Animation) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: The entire cartoon is a pastiche homage to The Dover Boys, especially with the cartoons' use of smear in-betweens and borrowed gags from the short. The scene where a bar customer gasps in front of Dirty Dick Avery the moment Avery says the word "repugnant" is a reference to the Pinky and the Brain episode "TV or Not TV". Dick Avery calls the turtle Franklin and Cecil Turtle. The narrator got the Sun to leave by telling him there was Raisin Bran, alluding the common Sun mascot in the cereal. The Grover Guys are hopping on Mikey's dad's stomach, alluding the Dr. Seuss book Hop on Pop. The Grover Guys briefly teleported to the '30s Ub Iwerks cartoon, Balloon Land, because D.D. apparently binged watched cartoons from that decade. "Go choke on Cookie Crisps, Dick!" is an allusion to the famous cereal brand known for it's wolf mascot. Dick Avery states that the dog whistle Henrietta used sounds like the "Big Bad Wolf" song from the series, House of Mouse.
