Meatwad: Shhh, I'm trying to sleep, so that the real rainbow will come...
(A rainbow appears)
Meatwad: ...the real rainbow! I did it! I brought happiness and joy to us all!

Carl: Oooh, good.
Meatwad: Well, I gotta go, see ya later. (edit)
(Frylock has gotten an e-mail on his computer. He reads it aloud)
Frylock: 'Go down to the park and step into the rainbow... and you'll be rich with gold. Forward this to 20 people, or we will burn your brain from the inside. Go down to the damn park.' Man, who would be stupid enough to check this out?
(Cut to Carl, who is down at the park)
Carl: I'm gonna give this rainbow-thing another five minutes... and if it don't show up quick... then I am going down to the store and get a hot-rod magazine... 'cause they got them chicks with the boobs on there. (edit)
Carl: While we're on the topic, what's that around your little straw thing there... danglin' like it's yours.
Master Shake: Oh, you like it? It's new.
Carl: Yeah, I do like it. I liked it when I bought it. (edit)
(Opener. Dr. Weird and Steve stand in front of the laboratory presentation door)
Dr. Weird: Gentlemen, I have created... this thing!
(The door opens to reveal a strange contraption with a rainbow shining from it. The title at the bottom reads "RainbowMaker 400")
Steve: What is it?
Dr. Weird: I don't know! Stand over here!
(Steve walks over to the machine)
Steve: You mean right...
(Steve is hit by the rainbow beam and is sent flying into the sky)
Dr. Weird: It works! I am one can short of a six-pack!
(The lights then go out)
Dr. Weird: The lights. Who is that? Who's here?
(We see the rainbow beam through the darkness. The machine is being carried away. The lights then go back on)
Dr. Weird: That thing I created, it's gone!
(The camera then zooms to show the obvious hole left in the wall by the Rabbot)
Dr. Weird: Who could have penetrated my impenetrable fortress?
(Dr. Weird's hair then lights on fire)

Allusions

add »
Snatch: Merle makes a comment about diamonds being in Antwerp in this episode. This is an allusion to the Guy Ritchie film Snatch, in which a diamond is heisted from a Jewish bank in Antwerp. Also, a line in the film said by the main character, Turkish, reads: "What do I know about diamonds? Don't they come from Antwerp?" which adds further heft to this allusion. (edit)
Space Ghost: Coast to Coast----During Meatwad's tender moment in the woods there is a shark that appears onscreen that goes by the name of Old Kentucky Shark, originated in the Space Ghost: Coast to Coast episode called Kentucky Nightmare. (edit)
