  • Colbert Bump: In 1934, only a year after Popeye debuted in cartoons (where his love of spinach was introduced, which up to then had not been in the comic), sales of spinach in the United States was up 33%.
  • Hey, It's That Voice!: Olive Oyl has the same voice as Betty Boop.
  • You Fail Biology Forever: In Females is Fickle, Olive's goldfish jumps over the edge of Popeye's ship, and she screams "Oh Popeye save my goldfish! He'll DROWN!!"
    • What. Aren't goldfish freshwater fish?
    • The goldfish seemed just fine for the rest of the episode.
    • That's not a fail, it's a joke.
      • The writers didn't fail. Olive did!
