Quotes

add »
Gramps: Sometimes we must make sacrifices. Why do you think Grandpa's only friend is a 600-year old Shar-Pei?
Fu: What can I say? I'm great at parties, whoo-hoo! (edit)
Rotwood: Admiral attempted Mr. Long, but I'm afraid you'll never beat my young piano prodigy with that, mangy puppet.
Fu: (Pretending to be Jake's puppet) Hey who you callin' mangy there Molly McHair-piece.
Rotwood: I bet your pardon?
Jake: Ahaha, take it easy Captain Ar-Ar.
Fu: Seriously, you might want to call an exterminator for that rat's nest you call hair. I'd like to introduce you to a new concept, it's called a comb! (edit)
Spud: My great-grandfather was a magician. He taught me to never give up.
Trixie: To bad he neglected to teach you "magic".
(edit)
Jake: Now if I was an ancient magical chalice were would I be. (edit)
Jake : (Jake doing his ventriliquist act with Fu) Why don't they serve escargo in Davey Jones Locker.....
Fu : Because dead men sell no snails (edit)
Cop #1: (to Professor Rotwood) Ugh, another one for Bellevue. (edit)
Fu: Some sidekick I am. Letting the American Dragon get busted by toilet. (edit)
Spud: Now, now, I'm sure he has a perfectly reasonable explanation for stabbing his friend in the back, right jerk, I mean Jake? (edit)

Trivia

add »
Brad is a quarterback on the school's football team. (edit)
After Jake and Fu Dog accidently leave the Chalice on the subway, a big woman sits on it, and gets stuck up her butt cheeks. (edit)
On the first episode 'Old School Training', Fu Dog easily got in the toilet, and flushed himself down it. However this time, Fu Dog gets stuck in the toilet after Brad throws him in it. (edit)
When the bathroom starts to leak, the water starts to drop into the Chalice. But when Fu dog and Jake return, the Chalice is over flowing. It couldn't of filled that fast. (edit)
When doing the magical trick, Spud was wearing a top hat. But when he pulls out the Djinn, he is wearing his usual brown hat. (edit)
Grandpa said that whenever the Chalice was full the creature would be released. The Chalice was full several times in the scenes (falling in water), but the creature wasn't released.

Clearly the magic requires the chalice to be filled with water, not submersed in it.. (edit)
In the flashback Spud seemed to be the same age he is now, even though he was supposed to be younger. (edit)
In one scene the earrings Trixie was wearing on stage were gone and they were back in the next scene. (edit)
As Principal Derceto enters her office with Professor Rotwood, her name is mispelled "Decerto" on the door. (edit)
The Chinese girl in the pink dress had all of her origami paper super-glued to herself by Brad, but she is seen later sans paper. She couldn't have gotten it off that quickly, either, because if she could have, it would have come off when she started waving her hands around in a panic. (edit)

Allusions

add »
Fu Dog: "Dead men sell no snails!"
This line is a parody of the famous line from Disneyland's Pirates of the Caribbean, "Dead men tell no tales." (edit)
Title: Kim Possible
The Genie's flaring green hands are very similar to the superpowers of Shego from Kim Possible, another Disney show John DiMaggio also starred in, only his role was the opposite of Fu Dog - While Fu Dog is one of the heroes, Drakken was one of the villains. (edit)
Title: The Talented Mr. Ripley
This episode's title is a parody of the movie The Talented Mr. Ripley. (edit)
