"In Capture The Flag" Steve Slavkin had another plot to the episode where Donkeylips would be more like a "Rambo" character but thought it would be too over the top. There was also a line written in where Donkeylips would say "They drew first blood" but later took that line out as it was deemed to violent for a kids show.
"Capture The Flag" is also a minor parity of the film "Platoon" as Budnick fails as a leader.
Ug pays tribute to General Douglas MacArthur with helmet, sunglasses, and cob pipe.
The war film that Ug sees on the television is a World War II newsreel. Kirk Baily's father served in World War II.
When Donkeylips falls in the kiddie pool with water, an assistant off camera actually threw water on Ug giving the impression that Donkeylips falling into the water splashed Ug.
