Trivia[]
- This is the first Season 5 episode.
- Despite being the first episode in Season 5, this episode and "Stupid Sidekick Union" aired two weeks before the final episodes in Season 4 ("Superstitious Stimpy" and "Travelogue”.)
- Because of this, in Paramount and other streaming websites for the show, this episode and "Stupid Sidekick Union" are listed as a part of Season 4 even though they are actually apart of Season 5.
- The idea of premiering a season before the previous season finished was later used heavily in shows like SpongeBob Squarepants for example.
- Ren and Stimpy's song, "Come Fry With Me," is an obvious parody of Frank Sinatra's big hit song, "Come Fly With Me".
- Stimpy becomes a Frank Sinatra-like singer in this episode, nicknamed "Ol' Blue Nose", a parody of Frank Sinatra's nickname, "Ol' Blue Eyes". He was also addressed as "Snotra", a parody of Sinatra.
- Stimpy's nose turns out to be sentient and really was responsible for Stimpy's singing talent.
- This episode has Ren and Stimpy switching roles. Stimpy becomes the bossy one when he becomes a famous singer and Ren starts serving him, especially cooking his dinner instead of the other way around like in most other episodes.
- The monkey wearing a cap giving Stimpy a telegram for his next gig is the same one from "To Salve And Salve Not".
- In this episode, Ren and Stimpy live in their trailer, perhaps their most iconic home.
- This is the only episode written by Billy West.
- Sound editor Brian Mendelsohn provided one line for Ren when Billy West wasn't available: "Here's your pasta,Big Shot!"
