Trivia
- Dudley's flea collar in this episode is definitely a reference to his original design where he had one that The Chief would have to stay away from in the original pitch.
- The gag with Snaptrap in the golf course's lost and found room is used again in Bluff Puppy and Organized Crime.
Allusions
- The episode's title is a reference to the idiom “Top Dog”, meaning a person who is highly successful in their field
- Get Smart - This episode has a small resemblance to the episode The Hot Line from the TV show, where the main protagonist and counterpart of Dudley, Maxwell Smart, is given by mistake the title of Chief of CONTROL, causing him a change of attitude towards his colleagues.
- The Trader Jax store is a parody of Trader Joe's.
Running Gags
- Dudley judo tossing characters and yells "Trust no one!". The same goes for The Chief at the end of the episode.
