Thunder Dog/Trivia

Trivia

• The name of this episode is a pun on the word "underdog", or a reference to ThunderCats franchise, or a reference to the Underdog cartoon.
• The concept of the weapon "Thunder Bird" was possibly inspired from the TV show Get Smart, in the episode Supersonic Boom, where the antagonists, KAOS, had a sonic weapon able to create earthquakes.
• In this episode, Kitty wears a collar, however this is the only episode where she is seen wearing it.
• Items Dudley was chained to: a giant ship's anchor, an aircraft carrier, and a space shuttle.

• There is a spoof of Dunkin' Donuts called Dumpin Donuts. This was seen before in Snapnapped.
• Bird Brain has an aunt named Aunt Lulu who moved to Mexico.
• Dudley saying "I'm still stuck on the word Boobamunga." It may be a sexual joke, as "boob" is a term for "breast".

• This episode is before Snap Dad, but Nickelodeon aired that before this episode due to a Valentine's Day event.

• When Keswick yells by being interacted by a girl at the end, his left arm is not seen.
