The infamous Orson Welles "Frozen Peas" outtakes are influenced in "Chicken Soup for the Troll". Maurice LaMarche once again uses his Orson Welles impression.
It's revealed that Lord Starchbottom's name is actually Dillard Gherkin.
The King of the Trolls is modeled on Rodney Dangerfield.
The song Happy sings at the end of "The Family Gherkin" is a takeoff on the closing theme from 'The Beverly Hillbillies.'
