Pop Culture References[]
- Mordecai and Rigby's story sees them enter a door floating through space like the one seen in the intro to the The Twilight Zone. A musical sting similar to the show's theme also plays when the door appears. Additionally, the elevator, bellhop, and the fifth-dimension premise of the story are all possible references to The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, a dark thrill ride located at certain Disney parks.
- The classic song "Trepak (The Nutcracker)" by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky plays during the montage scene.
Goofs[]
- When Rigby and Mordecai arrive in the fifth dimension, there is an error with the escalator scene. It shows a different Rigby and Mordecai going up the first escalator and down the third escalator. When the camera pans, alternate Rigby and Mordecai are instead going up the first escalator and down the second escalator.
Official Releases[]
- On iTunes and Amazon Prime, the segment was included in the full digital release of "Christmas in Space".
- The segment was also included as part of "Christmas in Space" in the DVD release for Season Eight.
