Jake is learning about his dragon powers in this episode.
(edit)
Apparently Jake had problems maintaining his dragon form in the first few episodes.
(edit)
Jake's sister Haley was named for Eminem's daughter Hailey.
(edit)
It is shown that dragons are powerless against nets made from sphinx hair since it reverts them to human form and keeps them from changing back.
(edit)
Jeff Bennett (Huntsman/Jake's Dad) and Mae Whitman (Rose/Huntsgirl) are reunited on this show. They also worked together on Cartoon Network's Johnny Bravo. (Jeff Bennett was Johnny Bravo and Mae Whitman was his neighbor, little Suzy.)
(edit)
Grandpa: I've got a bad feeling
Fu Dog: Agh, your telling me, thats what we get for eating at a place called Chuckys chippys chili wagon, Aghh, hold down the fort gramps, nature's calling 911 Arghhhhhhhh!! (edit) Jake: (While brushing his tongue) Eh! All I can taste is toilet brush. (edit) Grandpa: Well done, young dragon. But word to the wise: it is not good idea to flirt with mortal enemy. Trust Grandpa, he's been there. (edit) Huntsman: I'll ask you one more time, old man. Where is the American Dragon?
Jake: Right under your nose, dude! I'm like a booger that way, HA! Wait... that didn't come out right. (edit) Grandpa: Young dragon, you must learn that "smackadaddy" does not come in a can. (edit)

Haley's middle name is Kay.
(edit)
Jake won the battle against the Huntsman by farting him off the building into a billboard.
(edit)
In the begining theme song we see Brad next to the door at the school but his hair is black instead of blond.
(edit)
There is no way that Fu Dog would be able to fit in the toilet bowl and flush himself down the drain because he is too big.
(edit)
When Grandpa turned into his dragon form, he was really long. But a bit later, he's about the same height as Jake.
(edit)
Grandpa Lao Shi:
"Lao shi" means teacher in Mandarin Chinese. (edit) Fu is an example of a Familar. A spirit that takes the form of an animal and act as guides and servants to a soucerer. (edit) Keone Young
Keone Young, the voice of Lao Shi, Jake's grandfather and trainer in martial arts and dragon powers, also appeared on Nickelodeon's Avatar: The Last Airbender as a Fire Bending master who coached the Avatar, Aang, for a while. (edit) "Long" is the Chinese equivalent for "Dragon." (edit) Grandpa: "Clockwise, then, counterclockwise"
Jake's 'Old School Training' parallels Daniel's training in the 1984 movie The Karate Kid, where the student of an old karate master is taught the basics of the fighting style by painting fences and waxing cars. Even Grandpa's instructions to Jake about "Clockwise, then, counterclockwise." reflect Miyagi's famous saying "Wax on, wax off." (edit)
