NOTES (2)
ADD NOTES
- In Popcorn Pandemonium, one of the movie previews shown in the theater is about a dead Dracula with the announcer quoting something like, "Dracula...It's been done to death." This must be in reference to all the movies, tv shows, and the like that have been made about Dracula and how cliched the character and all vampire concepts have become.
  EDIT SHARE
- First appearance of Tammy the pig.

ALLUSIONS (4)
ADD ALLUSIONS
- Visual: Garbage Strike
  
  One of the movie previews is for a film called Garbage Strike, which is about garbage men going on strike. This is a slight spoof of the 1992 Disney musical Newsies.
  EDIT SHARE
- Visual: Dracula
  
  During a movie preview you hear an announcer's voice say, "Dracula...It's been done to death." This is poke at the cliched vampire movie about Dracula.
  EDIT SHARE
- Visual: Enter the Rodent
  
  During the movie previews, there is an advertisement for a move entitled Enter the Rodent. This is a parody of the martial-arts hit Enter the Dragon (1973), staring Bruce Lee.
  EDIT SHARE
- Film: The Cute Little Poots
  Nobody has any idea what the "Little Poots" are, but you have to love them because they are cute. This is the exact same scenario as the Care Bears, and a bunch of other animated characters that were around during the 1980's, being cartoons based on toys, supposedly a marketing concept according to the creative teams of shows like Rocko's Modern Life.
