Unknown Voice Actor: News Vendor, Tall Criminal

Mistakes:
1. In April's report at the shopping mall she says that the skies are clear, though they are actually partly cloudy.
2. In a closeup shot of the Entire State Building's elevator up/down buttons, they are shown with a grey outline and orangish red buttons, but in the next shot as Swatter enters the elevator, both the up/down buttons and outline are gold.
3. After the Turtles return to the Lair, Donatello's "D" is missing in the first shot inside the Lair.

Catchphrase/Insult Countdown:
1. Michelangelo says "Cowabunga" as he launches his grappling hook at two criminals in order to save Jerry Spiegel.
2. Michelangelo says "holy guacamole" after his phone call with Juliet.
3. When Donatello speaks to Swatter on the roof of the skyscraper, he refers to Shredhead about him ripping off his costume.
3. Michelangelo calls Brick Bradley a wimped-out crumb in the Turtle Van.

Pizza References:
1. Michelangelo says that Jerry Spiegel is as slippery as a greasy pepperoni (referring to a pizza) after the criminals are captured.
2. Irma warns Michelangelo that if Brick Bradley does a comic and finds out about his favorite pizza place, the bad guys will be after the Turtles.
3. One of the questions that Swatter asks the Turtles (minus Michelangelo) on the roof is their favorite things to put on pizza.
4. Vinnie's Pizza billboard next to the Channel 6 building is visible.
5. The Turtles say "Turtle Power" as they avenge on Swatter on top of the skyscraper.

Pop Culture References:
1. Jerry Speigel is a parody of Superman creator Jerry Seigel.
2. When Raphael checks out the titles at the comic book stand that Michelangelo is browsing, one of the titles is the "Teen Twinkies", a parody of the Teen Titans.
3. One of the buildings is named the Entire State Building, a parody of the Empire State Building.

Fourth Wall Breaking Humor:
1. Swatter says that being a bad guy is such fun at the end of his first scene.
2. Right before the second commercial break, Michelangelo looks straight at the screen saying that Brick Bradley picked a bad time to find inner peace.
3. In the Turtle Van, Michelangelo says "Who's supposed to being ticked off? Him (Brick Bradley) or me?"
4. Leonardo: "Can you imagine anyone publishing a comic book about us?"
Raphael: "That has got to be the dumbest idea I have ever heard."
Michelangelo: "You are right dude. The entire concept is multo bizarro." Then, Michelangelo grabs a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic book under the bed and says "come on dudes, you read it too."

Wacky Inventions:
1. Donatello's Sewer Intruder alert system
2. Swatter's Hypno Ray
3. The Entire State Building's Transmitting Equipment

Kidnappings:
Leonardo, Donatello, and Raphael are stuck to a thick wall at the top of the Entire State Building by Swatter.

Notables:
1. Final appearance of Brick Bradley/Bugman.
2. Swatter, Jerry Spiegel's alter ego, is a Shredder spoof. Since he is voiced by Townsend Coleman, his voice sounds similar to Shredder's during the later portion of Season 7.
3. This is notable for being the first non-Shredder episode written by David Wise and also due to the fact that it aired on CBS during the first half hour when Shredder episodes would normally air.
4. Only episode in which Vernon is voiced by Townsend Coleman.
5. A flashback clip from the episode "Michelangelo Meets Bugman" is used when Michelangelo talks to Raphael about Bugman's origin.
6. Shredder and Krang is mentioned in this episode by Michelangelo.

3. In this episode and Landlord of the Flies, Krang has dark purple corneas.
4. Ted Pedersen's last name is incorrectly spelled "Pederson" on the written by credit.
5. Raphael, Leonardo, and Donatello's belt initials are colored like they were in Season 2 (grey outline, white letters) when April contacts them while Donatello is holding an issue of Genius Quarterly.

3. Michelangelo would rather pour Muckman's DNA samples over pizza.
4. A pizza is shown on the table of Irma's apartment and Irma says "two dozen pizzas and I'm the hostess with the mostess." Michelangelo also holds and eats a slice of pizza (See Mistake No. 8 )

Pop Culture References:
1. Donatello tells some destroyed Foot Soldiers that they were supposed to limbo, a Trinidadian dance that involves bending backwards under a pole.
2. Michelangelo makes a baseball reference as Rocksteady and Bebop slide through a door saying "Nice slide dudes, but you're out!"
