Trivia[]
- As Giggles slides down the banister, she passes by a mounted moose head. Lumpy apparently had no reservations about decorating the house with it.
- When Handy starts telling everyone what to do to help him build Giggles' home, he mentions The Mole, Petunia and Giggles by name. This marks one of four instances in the entire series to date of a character calling another character by their name. The others are Milkin' It, Water Way to Go and Hear Today, Gone Tomorrow.
- Nobody survives in this episode.
- This is also one of the few episodes where there is a fairly large cast and everyone dies.
- Cuddles is the only character in this episode whose death is not caused as a result of Lumpy's actions. Instead, it was caused by The Mole's actions.
- This is one of the rare instances where Cuddles appears with a large group of characters, but without Toothy.
- This episode marks the first time that Mime's death is not caused by another main character.
See the red frown?
- When The Mole is decapitated, the blood splat on the wall forms a frowning face.
- This is one of the TV episodes in which Lumpy eats a sandwich. The others are A Change of Heart and Letter Late than Never.
- This is one of the few episodes in which one of the starring characters dies early.
- This episode marks one of the three times where a character (in this case, Giggles) has a death/injury involving their groin. The others are Nutty in his Smoochie and Toothy in Brake the Cycle.
- Cuddles is the only character in this episode who does not go inside the house. However, he does end up becoming part of it.
- Any of the characters (except for Cuddles) who helped in constructing the house could be responsible for Mime, Giggles, and Handy's deaths, depending on what section of the house the characters worked on.
- This is one of the few TV episodes in which a starring character does not kill anyone. The others are Who's to Flame?, A Change of Heart, and Tongue in Cheek.
- This marks Giggles most torturous death to date.
- All of the deaths are caused by at least one of the characters not paying attention. (e.g. The Mole not paying attention to where he is putting the wood, causing Cuddles' death; Lumpy not paying attention to which type of pipes he is putting together, leading to Petunia's death; and Lumpy opening a door in a spot where The Mole happened to be, decapitating him).
- The YouTube thumbnails spoil the following:
- The current thumbnail for Part 1 spoils Cuddles' death.
- The former thumbnail for Part 2 heavily spoiled Giggles' death. The current thumbnail spoils The Mole's death.
- This is one of the few episodes where a character's death (in this case, Petunia's) is cartoonish rather than bloody and gruesome. Others include Russell's death in In a Jam and Toothy's death in Snow Place to Go.
- This is the only one of Giggles' TV starring roles where Lumpy is not portrayed as a villain.
- The tune that plays when Petunia is rushing to the bathroom is the same tune that plays in the arcade game Socks To Be You.
- Every featuring character from A Hole Lotta Love appears in the episode, however, Handy has a starring role instead of a featuring role.
- This episode marks Giggles' final starring role to date.
- Toothy is the only primary character to not appear in this episode.
Cultural References[]
- The moral means that one's first responsibility is for the needs of their own family and friends.
- The scene where Giggles opens the first door she skips up to and finds a wall behind it is a possible reference to the movie The Matrix.
- The house is possibly based on The Winchester Mystery House.
- The scene where Handy tries to open all of the doors that are placed in front of him is a reference to Yosemite Sam trying to open all of the doors that are connected together on the Looney Tunes short Sahara Hare.
- If one listens closely, the flywheel sound effect from Thomas & Friends can be heard when Cuddles and The Mole are working together with the wood slicer.
Superlatives[]
- Cuddles' death is similar to that of Sniffles, Toothy, and his death in Gems the Breaks and one of Tree's deaths in Happy Death Day 2U.
- Mime's death is similar to Giggles and Pop's injuries in Idol Curiosity and A Vicious Cycle respectively, and Phillip "Phil" Simpson's death in Child's Play 2.
- Giggles' death is similar to Lifty's death in Buns of Steal.
- The Mole's death is similar to Flaky's death in Aw, Shucks!.
Continuity[]
- Petunia's obsessive-compulsive disorder is revisited in this episode for the first time since Wishy Washy.
- It is also revealed that her OCD still takes effect in other places than her home. Other places where her OCD will take effect in the future are in a plane, and at Lammy's house.
Production Notes[]
- When this episode aired along with Idol Curiosity and Aw, Shucks! on YouTube, the alternate title for the conglomeration of segments was "Nine Lives". Lumpy, Giggles, and The Mole appear in all three episodes. Giggles and The Mole die in all three episodes, while Lumpy dies twice.
- According to this episode's storyboard, the moral was originally "Home is where the heart is". It was likely changed due to being too similar to the episode's title.
