Trivia
- The opening scene is a parody of How the Grinch Stole Christmas!
- The TV movie that Skeeter and his family are watching appears to be based on the events of (or actually be) the original series' first Christmas episode, "Doug's Christmas Story".
- Months prior to the special's premiere, the October 1996 issue of Disney Adventures magazine ran a contest asking fans to name the Funnies' new baby, who is born in the episode. The winning name, Cleopatra Dirtbike Funnie, was sent in by Brett Chatham, who received a drawing of himself with Doug and his friends as the prize.[1]
