Allusions:

Trivia / Info:
- Superman is voiced by Seth Green instead of Breckin Meyer, who played him in most of the character's appearances.
- Hugh Davidson, who has done several voices in Robot Chicken, would later voice Slowpoke Rodriguez in The Looney Tunes Show.
- Pat Pinney would later have a connection to Dora in a Paramount+ commercial as Painty the Pirate (from Spongebob Squarepants).
- This is one of the few sketches where a character (in this case, Zorro) swears in a foreign language; "Chinga tu madre" translates to "Fuck your mother".
- Amber from the comic strip “Blakey” was going to be in this sketch, but was cut from the sketch because there kinda wasn’t space for the scene, however it is shown as a deleted animatic on the DVD Set for Robot Chicken Season 3.
Goofs / Nitpicks:
- Zorro is Spanish, not Mexican.
- BTVA credits Breckin Meyer as the voice of Slowpoke Rodriguez in this sketch, despite it clearly sounding like Seth Green's.
