Trivia[]
- Despite the title, the cuss words are not bleeped out, but were replaced with random G-rated gibberish sounding near similar to how they actually sound:
- Blort
- Swip
- Cret
- Cuft
- Chris Houghton joked that "Blort" is more powerful than the real swear words combined.
- Cricket's middle name is revealed to be Ernest, after his paternal grandfather.
- While Gregly appears and can audibly be heard among the other children, his actor is not credited for the episode.
- Three of the children in the community center choir are modeled after background painter Brianne Neumann, storyboard artists Caldwell Tanner, and Kiana Khansmith.
- For some unknown reason, the only families seen at the choir concert are the Greens and Benny's mom. Remy's parents are absent, but Vasquez appears.
- Officer Keys and Bill's awful attempt at trying to curb the kids' swearing is most likely a reference to the American government's notoriously disastrous attempt at trying to educate children on drugs with D.A.R.E. which many found had actually increased illegal drugs among the youth.
- This is a special episode that deals with swearing and profanity.
- This episode wasn't shown in Southeast Asia due to the main plot revolving around swearing and the repeat usage of "blort" as a swear word.
- Morals:
- Be careful what you say.
- Only you are in control of what you use in a sentence.
