This episode marks the first time in the Scooby-Doo franchise that Scooby and the gang let a monster escape, by not being able to trap him.
Crybaby Clown: You all know me. You all know how I make a living. I'm a bad clown! Stopping me won't be easy... there's no string in the net to capture me as Mano Tiki Tia or Redbeard's Ghost! This Crybaby Clown swallowed your whole town, hahahahaha! You want your tourism back, you're going to pay me 5 million dollars! For that, you'll get the pacifier, the rattle, the whole darn clown! So, what's it going to be? Me or Mystery Incorporated?!
Fred: Hey! I know this net!
Velma: You should, you built it. Nice furbib...
Fred: Wait! Rise sense of humor, tense of disdain and superiority... Velma?!
Velma: Who were you expecting? Roscharch?
In order to voice Crybaby Clown, Mark Hamill uses a similar voice to the one he uses to voice The Joker, in Batman The Animated Series, Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker and on the video gamesBatman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City.
Watchmen
Velma's action and throw-away line towards Mayor Nettles at the beginning of this episode are similar to those of Rorschach of the 1986 Watchmen graphic novel, created by Alan Moore.
The Great Escape
Scooby's introduction bouncing a ball off the wall where the farmer confined him is a homage to the "cooler king" scenes of The Great Escape (1963), in which American POW Steve McQueen so passes the time while in solitary confinement for repeated escape attempts from Nazi prison camps.
Crybaby Clown: You all know me. You all know how I make a living. I'm a bad clown! Stopping me won't be easy... there's no string in the net to capture me as Mano Tiki Tia or Redbeard's Ghost!
Crybaby Clown refers to two villains of the original Scooby Doo, Where Are You? series, Hawaiian witch doctor Mano Tiki Tia from the second season episode "A Tiki Scare Is No Fair"and Redbeard the ghost pirate from the first season episode "Go Away Ghost Ship".
The Day the Clown Cried
The title of the episode is a parody to the unfinished and unreleased Jerry Lewis 1972 movie The Day the Clown Cried, starring Harriet Andersson, Anton Diffring, Jerry Lewis and Ulf Palme.
Taylor Lautner
The character of Baylor Hotner is a parody to the actor Taylor Lautner, as does his role as a were- turtle in the Dusk movies, which parallels Lautner's role as Jacob Black, a werewolf in the Twilight movies.
Dawn of the Dead
The name of the fake bakery "Dawn of the Doughnuts," devised by Fred as part of the trap to capture Crybaby Clown is a parody to the 1978 horror film Dawn of the Dead, directed by George E. Romero, as well as its 2004 remake directed by Zack Snyder.
