Trivia:

• This episode parodies the FOX show, 24. Jack Flowers is a parody of Jack Bauer.
• The Central Terrorist Agency is not only a parody of Counter Terrorist Unit (CTU) from 24, but also a parody of the real-life agency Central Intelligence Agency or more commonly known as the CIA.
• The ending of Omar Mohammed’s name “Ali Shahid Mohammed” is a possible reference to former ‘A Tribe Called Quest’ member, “Ali Shaheed Muhammad.”
• When Ruckus stomps Dan the Security Man’s private parts, “Stomp Em In The Nuts” by Thugnificent, another character from the show, is played in the background.
• Ruckus calls Jack Flowers, “the greatest white man since G.I. Joe”.
• After the flashbacks of the deaths of Flowers’ girlfriends, the commander claims “What kind of deranged Wile E. Coyote shit is that?”. This is a reference to Wile E. Coyote (from Looney Tunes)’s attempts at destroying The Road Runner, a gag from the famous Warner Bros. shorts.
• This is apparently Ed and Rummy’s final appearance in the series as they have not appeared in season 4.
• Many fans consider this episode as the true finale of the series, due to Aaron McGruder leaving after season 3 and the overall bad reception of season 4.

Trivia:

• The scene when the lady says, “I want my motherfucking chicken, my babies want motherfucking chicken!”, the word “motherfucking” is still bleeped on DVD.
• This episode is based on a promotion held by KFC and Oprah Winfrey in May 2009. Winfrey provided coupons for free KFC chicken on her website. The promotion was so popular that the restaurants ran out of chicken causing customers to become irate across the country. Reports of riots at KFC locations spread but KFC later announced that the reports were false. But irate customers did stage protests and made angry statements in TV news reports. The customer saying “How am I supposed to feed my family now?!” is taken from an actual news report.
• It is implied that Jazmine might be vegetarian; she tells Grandad, “Fried chicken is murder”, when he asks if she wanted any at the beginning of the episode.
