Kim: Roachie listens to you?
Ron: Yeah, except at bed time. It's always "Five more minutes" and "Can I have a glass of dirty water?". (edit) Kim: He eats your garbage?
Ron: Hey, don't knock it 'til you've tried it. Actually, go ahead and knock it. I tried it, it's nasty. (edit) MHS Sign: Mutated Roach Awareness Week (edit) MHS Sign: Sinkhole Awareness Week (edit) Ron: The quakes? You were making them.
Chester: No. That was my army of giant cockroaches!
Ron: Giant what?
Kim: Cockroaches.
Ron: Ah! Happy thoughts. Happy thoughts. (opens his eyes to see that the roaches are only three feet long) You call those giant?
Chester: They're pretty big for cockroaches! (edit) Kim: My jeepers. . . are offically creeped. (edit) Ron: (to a Giant Cockroach) You're gonna step on me?! How ironic is that? (edit) Ron: It's like a shiny puppy... with a shell!
Kim: Puppies don't have shells! (edit) Kim: The hurl factor's approaching critical here! (edit) Kim: I'm not tearing up because this is touching, okay? The wind's coming off miles of garbage. (edit)

Ron incorrectly refers to Roachie as "la grande cucaracha." The correct way of saying it is "la cucaracha grande." (edit) At the very end of this episode, Kim's hair is parted on the wrong side. (edit)

Super Mario Bros.:

The video game Ron and Roachie played had sounds from the classic Super Mario Bros. games. (edit) I, Robot:

The end of the episode, with Ron and Kim leading the giant roaches to a new home in the Middleton Landfill is reminiscent of the end of I, Robot, where Detective Spooner relocates all of the robots to a new home in a landfill outisde of the city. (edit) Kim: Don't tell me you're the Roach Whisperer now.

Reference to the movie The Horse Whisperer (edit) B Movies:

The giant cockroaches a classic parody/homage to the giant-bugs-created-by-radiation B-movies of the fifties. (edit) Ron: Ron's departing monologue to Roachie:

Ron's monologue saying goodbye to Roachie is pretty much comprised of lines from every single "goodbye" speech made by the child in any given boy-and-his-animal-friend movie, where the boy has to leave his animal friend behind or let them go. (edit)
