Allusions:
- This sketch is a mashup of Fraggle Rock and the novel/film Watership Down.
Trivia / Info:
- The purple generic Fraggle bears a resemblance the World's Oldest Fraggle.
- 5 out of 8 of the Fraggles that escaped made it through the journey... at least until the ending.
- The song the Fraggles sing at the beginning is a parody of the Fraggle Rock theme song.
Goofs / Nitpicks:
- Wembley is acting extremely worried about blood, fire and death, however this is a characteristic usually exhibited by Boober.
- Though the green Fraggle is lit on fire and presumably dead, he is seen running away from Sprocket in the next scene.
- Gobo along with many other Fraggles appear to be killed by the bomb's blast, yet they are seen trying to escape the cave in.
- Some Fraggles seem to be killed numerous times.
- The Fraggles don't appear to move their legs when crossing the road.
- Additionally, tiny holes are seen at the bottom of Wembly’s feet when Gobo knocks him down.
- Uncle Travelling Matt doesn't appear in this sketch, although he is mentioned by Gobo.
- Doozers are seen singing and dancing at the beginning along with the Fraggles. This is the complete opposite of the show, in which they were the polar opposites of the Fraggles: all work and no play (not counting the deviant Doozer, Cotterpin).
- A goof which likely stems from the fact that Seth Green (and pretty much many other Robot Chicken crew members) were outgrowing Fraggle Rock by the time of the series finale, thus meaning they likely didn't see the series finale: on the actual show, Doc knew of the Fraggles at the end of the series and made friends with him, which continued into the reboot: Back to the Rock with his replacement Doctor Doc (played by Lilli Cooper), following Doc's actor Gerry Parkes' retirement in 2009 and death five years later in 2014.
