This cartoon was first aired as part of episode 28 which featured the cartoons "Pinky & The Brain and... Larry" and "Where The Deer and The Mousealopes Play". The gag credit for episode 28 is: Introjection - Building someone elses qualities into your ego.
When Brain goes to the Academy Awards and rejects an award on behalf of Marlon Brando, this is a parody of an infamous incident where Brando did just that. After winning the Oscar for his role in The Godfather, Brando boycotted the ceremony and sent American Indian activist Sacheen Littlefeather in his place. She proceeded to reject the award on his behalf due to his objections about how Native Americans were portrayed in films and television.
The hunters who go after Pinky and the Brain are parodies of Christopher Walken and Robert De Niro from the film The Deer Hunter.
Del Monte is a parody of former Presidential candidate Bob Dole, evidenced by physical appearance, mannerisms, and the habit of referring to himself in the third person. The name is derived from the fact that "Dole" and "Del Monte" are the names of two popular produce companies.
