Doom and Gloom/Trivia

Trivia

• The episode's title is a parody of the phrase, "Doom and Gloom".
  • "Doom and gloom" is also heard in The Fairly OddParents theme song, another Butch Hartman show.
• The reversal of the phrase is also referential to Larry's breakaway from D.O.O.M. to form his own agency, G.L.O.O.M. (Genius Larry's Order of Mayhem).
• The Stray Hound sign that appears at the bus station is a reference to the Greyhound bus line.
• The onion car that Snaptrap (dressed as a princess) drives to the bus station is possibly a reference to the onion carriage that appeared in the Shrek films.
• This is the first episode to have a member of D.O.O.M. (other than Snaptrap) to be the main antagonist.
• This is the third time we see Dudley's butt up close. The first time was in The Doomies and the second time was in Dog Dish.
• This is the first episode to feature a member of an agency create a break-away group on screen.
• This episode was part of Nick's "U-Pick" week.
• The Caped Cod, along with several other villains, makes a cameo appearance in this episode.
• As of this episode, D.O.O.M.'s Lair is in Snaptrap's Basement.
• In this episode, three to five years have passed since Snaptrap and the other members of D.O.O.M. have been placed in jail, yet no one has changed.
• It is unlikely that three to five years actually passed, due to the characters not appearing to have aged, and their relationships with each other being pretty much the same.
• This is the one of a few episodes where there are no hints of the Dudley-Kitty Relationship.
• Justin Beaver is an obvious parody of Justin Bieber.
• Dudley is seen juggling on a unicycle throughout almost the entire episode.
• This episode marks the first time we ever see Snaptrap's mom, who is seen on a portrait in her sowing room.
• The part where Kitty gets hung upside down and the manner she frees herself in is a reference to how Catwoman deals with her situation with Two-Face in the beginning of Batman: Arkham City.

Goofs

• Bird Brain, who was between Mad Cow and The Chameleon, disappears when Dudley was shown juggling.
• Despite airing before Law and Odor, The Stink Bug is seen in the T.U.F.F. Prison. This episode may have taken place after Law and Odor as it says that it takes three to five years before D.O.O.M. gets out of jail.
  • When this episode premiered, it was played after Law and Odor so viewers could get an idea of who The Stink Bug was at first.
• When Kitty slices the net she was trapped in during the fight, she was not wearing any gloves, but when she landed, her gloves were back on.
• Larry already has the M medal on before he changes his name to Murray, this may not be a goof as it may represent something else like Mayhem.
• When Snaptrap appears at the end of the episode, his feet are greyish brown like his fur, instead of flesh-colored.
