TRIVIA (1)
ADD TRIVIA
- In "K-9 Quarry," Dodgers says that 'the Martian gets one episode per season'. At this point, this was true, as there had been an episode focusing on X2 and K9 in season 1. However, there wasn't in season 3.

I'll be there. Whenever you see a kid crying himself to sleep because his temper tantrum didn't yield a new video game ... I'll be there. Just say my name and ... I'll be there.

ADD NOTES
- The Alien Hunter's secret identity is Wile E. Coyote.
  EDIT SHARE
- The hero of "The Menace of Maninsuit" bears a striking resemblance to the japanese anime character, Astro Boy.
  EDIT SHARE

  EDIT SHARE

  EDIT SHARE
ALLUSIONS (5)
ADD ALLUSIONS
- DD: I'll be there . . .
  
  Duck Dodger's "I'll be there" speech is an obvious parody of Tom Joad's speech near the end of Steinbeck's "The Grapes of Wrath" (the speech occurs near the middle of Chapter 28; "Wherever there's a fight so hungry people can eat, I'll be there. Whenever there's a cop beatin' up a guy, I'll be there" etc)
  EDIT SHARE
- X2: Either Busby Berkeley planted this forest, or I don't know my own strength.
  
  The trees appear to be falling in a manner reminiscent of the choreography of Busby Berkeley, who was famous for directing the dancing in many musicals in the 1930s and '40s.
  EDIT SHARE
- X2: K9, I don't know what's gotten into you watewy. We came here to have a wewaxing -- I mean, a relaxing weekend."
  
  X2 is sounding much like Elmer Fudd here, and this episode has many references to old Warner Bros. cartoons, including the squirrel saying "Now I know why Bugs Bunny turned this cameo down"; and after X2 says that he prefers his enemies of the feathered variety, Wile E. Coyote holds up a sign that says "ME TOO!"
  EDIT SHARE
- Character: Godzilla
  The appearance and sounds of Maninsuit are more than similar to Godzilla.
  EDIT SHARE
- n/a: Japanimation
  The animation, dialogue and characters are puns of anime and Japanese movies.
