[edit] Trivia/Goofs

One of the rooms that Li'l D looks into in Sunny's house is modeled after the show's production studio,also a drawing looks like Li'l D.^{[citation needed]}
Another of the rooms, which Philly Phil enters, references Star Wars. The room resembles the cockpit of a space fighter, and a woman's voice can be heard saying "Help me, Philly Phil, you're my only hope." This is a reference to Princess Leia's message recording that was saved on R2-D2. Philly Phil is also seen riding what looks like a TIE fighter at the end of the episode, saying "I'm coming to save you, princess!"
There is a reference to a popular Scooby-Doo catchphrase when Inga Gabinstad, one of the international chalk thieves, says, "And we would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for you meddling kids!"
Li'l D attends the school dance dressed as Charlie Chaplin. The popular girls refer to him as a "Little Tramp" in reference to the film The Kid.
In some scenes, Godzilla is seen fighting Mothra, destroying Eddie's billboard at one point. Mothra can also be seen at the end of the episode, chasing Philly Phil as he flies in the TIE fighter.
At the dance, MacKenzie and Kaylie pour red paint on Sunny in a reference to Stephen King's Carrie.
In the scene in which Luna's furniture is nailed to the ceiling, Tamika lets go of the chair but doesn't fall off, unlike Luna.
In the episode, the popular girl Mackenzie is white, though during the song Cool Kitty, she is portrayed as black.
