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.

Trivia:

• Ebony Brown makes several comments throughout the episode that indicate her character is a vessel of commentary on The Boondocks TV series by an outside viewer, or possibly Aaron McGruder himself. Examples of this are:
• In the restaurant, Ebony comments directly on Uncle Ruckus’s character as being obviously reprehensible, but telling small grains of truth and therefore is funny and likable. Such a statement is appropriate of a real-life critic or fan, not of an in-series character.
• Sitting on the bench by the bridge at sunset, Ebony similarly comments on the features of Granddad’s character. She then goes on to say she wants to be a “recurring character”.
• In Malaysia, Ebony suggests slowing things down, saying there are plenty of episodes left in Granddad’s story. Granddad counters by talking about how he wants to speed things up, saying he’s not sure how many episodes he has left. This is likely a direct reflection by McGruder (voiced through Granddad) saying how he wants to heighten the intensity of the show because he is not sure how much longer the show will last. This notion is further corroborated by Season 3 being Aaron McGruder’s last season.

• YouTube clips of Fleece “Booty Warrior” Johnson from Lockup and the “Tossed Salad Man” are parodied throughout the episode. Both characters, especially Fleece Johnson, are satirized.

• William Horton Prison is named after American convicted felon Willie Horton.
