Brain: Pinky! Hurry! Get out of here; save yourself! Pinky: No Brain! I'd never leave you! Brain: You can't save me! Pinky: I can't lose you again, Brain! Without you, I...I feel so... Garfunkely! Brain: Pinky, please! Pinky: No! Brain: YYYYEEESSSSS! (Avalanche starts)
This cartoon was first aired as part of episode 27. The gag credit for this episode is: Bleb - Small gathering of fluid under the skin.
The word that Pinky tries to stop Brain from yelling is 'Ricola'. This is a nod to the famous advertisements for Ricola cough drops, which always feature a man in the mountains yelling "Riiiicolaaaa".
The title is a reference to the long-running home improvement series This Old House.
Classical music allusions on the soundtrack: Wagner, Liebestod from "Tristan und Isolde" (while Brain is mourning his ultimate failure to take over the world); Wagner, Prelude to "Die Meistersinger von Nurnberg" (while the people are cheering the new ruler of the world, the yam).
