Trivia

  • The title of this episode is a reference to Mission: Impossible.
  • This episode was released in Italy (October 13, 2011) before it was released in any other nation.[1]
  • For reasons unknown, this episode premiered much earlier in the majority of Nick International Channels.
  • The actual shuttles (Columbia, challenger, discovery atlantis, endevour) took months to get prepared for a mission, years for the first flights since the vessels cost 4 billion dollars exept endevour as it was built from spares after challenger was destroyed and took about 3 years to build.
  • When a shuttle was launced it would be from launch complex 39A/B in Kennedy space center Florida not out of an extremely tall building.
  • The space agency NASA is the only company to have space shuttles and they were never designed for spy use, they were actually designed to first save skylab (failed as skylab reenterd before the columbia was ready) which if successful would have made skylab a prototype of the international space station, deploy and repair and at least once retrieve satellites, telescopes, and probes, and in the shuttles final 12 years assemble all non-russian components of the iss. The shuttles also had a limit of a 360 mile orbit as it is just plain impossible to get a 100 ton mass past that altitude.
  • The shuttle itself minus its paint job was almost acurate to the actulal ones but it did not follow proper lanch procedure which would call for the external tank and main engines to stay lit 6 1/2 after the boosters seperated and once the tank seperated the 3 main engines (also an error in the toon as 2 orbital manuvering engines and rear thrusters were not visible) were dead for the rest of the mission.
  • Even though NASA has given all orbiters exept atlantis to museums they can't be flown anymore as like navy vessels they have been gutted of all hazardous components.
  • This episode was first rumored to air about a year before it actually did.
  • Running Gags:
    • The Chief is repeatedly hurt by the fist-in-the-box both directly and indirectly. Other "box" items used by T.U.F.F. include the "apology-in-a-box", "medals-of-bravery-in-a-box" and the "jail-in-the-box". The first two turn out to be fists-in-the-box, which end up hurting the Chief.
    • Twice, Keswick mistakenly sends the coordinates to Meaty Moose that were intended for Dudley and Kitty (who receive his meal order instead).
    • The Chameleon shapeshifts into several objects to do menial tasks for Snaptrap. These are: a toothpick, a toilet plunger, a yoyo, a facial tissue and a cupholder.
    • Instead of helping them, Keswick's newly invented pen gadget gets in the way of Kitty and Dudley's mission by repeatedly injuring them (as his inventions often do).
    • Dudley making sound effects by imitating sonar beeps.
    • Dudley crying about losing his space jerky.
    • Dudley getting the same toy from Meaty Moose that everyone else has.
    • Dudley lying about the hole (by putting the blame on Kitty) he dug through the Earth to stay off Santa's naughty list. But it turned out that the hole through Earth that "Kitty" dug saved the day by allowing the laser to pass right through without destroying anything. In "recognition", Santa rewarded her with a bike, much to Dudley's chagrin.
  • This is the very first double-length T.U.F.F. Puppy episode in production order.
  • This episode is similar from Ben 10: Ultimate Alien episodes where Aggregor wants to capture five aliens and find his map to get the Forge of Creation. (except Duped, Hit Em' Where They Live, Video Games, Hero Time, and Reflected Glory)
  • The Corn Belt in the episode is based on the real-life Corn Belt in the midwestern United States.
  • The Chief has an anvil collection (which happens to injure him in accordance with the popular cartoon gag).
  • It was rumored, by many fans, that Kitty and Dudley may kiss in this episode, but it was proven false. However Kitty hugged Dudley after the hole he dug saved the earth from the laser.
  • The Pet-Cific Ocean is a parody of the Pacific Ocean.
  • This is the first time the Chameleon sings, as well as Snaptrap (not counting "T.U.F.F. and D.O.O.M.").
  • Meaty Moose is a parody of McDonald's.
  • While piloting the T.U.F.F. shuttle, Kitty is seen updating her MyFace status through the on-board computer. MyFace is a parody of both MySpace and Facebook.
  • Kitty is able to pilot the shuttle and check her MyFace profile by indiscriminately mashing at her keyboard. This is a cliche apparent in various films, TV shows etc.
  • Snaptrap makes some references to the movie Alien, like saying the movie's tag line: In space no one can hear you scream. And when The Chameleon lands on the windshield of Snaptrap's RV he yells, "An alien, please don't attach yourself to my face!", which is an obvious reference to the Facehugger.
  • The RV that Snaptrap flew in space is a reference to the one in the Star Wars parody movie, Space Balls.
  • The Chameleon transformed into parodies of Toucan Sam (with red feathers and a monocle) the Fruit Loops mascot and Po (with a headband) from the Kung Fu Panda franchise as well as the Easter Bunny.
  • It is revealed that Snaptrap has a cousin named Jose, who is a fireman.

Goofs

  • It seems odd that Snaptrap, The Chameleon, and the other members of D.O.O.M. would survive in space as there is no air. That being said they should have instantly suffocated or blown up. The latter (with no bomb explosion present) obviously is too disturbing to put on a kids show.
  • Kitty and Dudley have several immature moments.
