Trivia

 * Mao Mao and Badgerclops are experienced in fighting Jelly Monsters, and often celebrate with a Jelly Donut Cake, in which some of the Jelly Monster's remains are used as an ingredient.
 * Around the release of episode 21, The Truth Stinks, series creator Parker Simmons stated that the intent of a certain scene in the episode was to show an affectionate friendship. This incident did not confirm nor deny the possibility of canon status of the couple, but it did unfortunately cause the start of outrage, resulting in all of Simmons' comments being deleted. Despite this incident, the ship is still very popular and still gets minor fanservice in the show.
