Allusions:
- This sketch is a parody of TV's Care Bears.
- The hotel that was supposed to house the Care Bear Cousins is a reference to the film Hotel Rwanda (starring Don Cheadle), in which a man protected refugees in his hotel during the Rwandan Genocide.
- The film Swordfish also stars Cheadle.
Trivia / Info:
- Unsurprisingly, New Jersey is insulted.
- There are strangely 3 care bear cousins that were custom/exclusive to this short, a giraffe, a Jaguar/cheetah/leopard and a tiger all having Funshine, Love A Lot and Bedtime's belly badges despite there being NONE of them in the actual care bears franchise.
Goofs / Nitpicks:
- Laugh a Lot Bear is erroneously referred to as "Lots of Laughs Bear".
- When the Care Bears cheer after the elephant dies and Love-A-Lot claims that they have killed the cousins, they are all voiced by Seth Green.
- Bedtime Bear is sleepy in the cartoon, but in the sketch, he announces bedtime.
