Trivia[]

  • The episode is a parody of Jurassic Park.
  • The storyboard artist for this episode is Vincent Waller, creative director on Nickelodeon's SpongeBob SquarePants.
  • Fourth Wall Break: Mandy stating that the "Writer's Convinience" will help to explain the mutant chickens, right before a professor conveniently shows up to fill them in on what's been going on.
  • When Mandy says "I guess we know where our giant poultry came from", her lips weren't animated. This is because the original broadcasts cut the lower half of her face.
  • Near the ending, Irwin appears both eating the fried chicken and wandering around with a chicken on his head.
