Several lines from this episode, including the "That's Mama Luigi to you, Mario!" line, have become an [[List of Mario references on the Internet|Internet meme]], even to the point of "Mama Luigi" being a standalone character from the normal Luigi. The line was inspired by an argument writer [[Phil Harnage]] had with the show's producer.<ref name=Faninterview/>
