Trivia
- The title of the episode is a reference to the 1984 horror comedy film The Toxic Avenger.
- Muckman speaks with a Jersey accent and has a license plate from New Jersey in his body. these are references to The Toxic Avenger as it takes place in New Jersey.
- Muckman is similar to Toxie as they are both mutants and heroes to their respected homes.
- This episode shares a plot similar to that of the episode Muckman Messes Up from the 1980's cartoon with both episodes also differentiating:
- In both episodes, Bebop and Rocksteady search for mutagen containing a specific ingredient at a lab. In the 80's cartoon, they search for X-7, a chemical that can undo the Turtles' mutation while in this episode they search for a chemical for the mind control formula.
- The creation of Muckman has mutagen falling out of the lab and hitting a worker. Where as the duo throw out mutagen in the 80's cartoon and it hits two people, this episode has Mikey dodging a thrown canister by Bebop which hits the sewer worker who lands in a dumpster.
- In both episodes, the Turtles are considered criminals by the media. Though April proves them innocent to Muckman and Joe Eyeball in the original cartoon, it is the end of this episode where the Turtles are proven innocent by Muckman himself.
- Muckman blames the Turtles for his mutation and works with Shredder in the original cartoon and teams with Bebop and Rocksteady in this episode.
- Joe Eyeball's voice is reminiscent to Mickey Mouse's
- Muckman has a ton of miscellaneous junk in his body including a license plate reading New Jersey, a baby doll's arm, a slice of pizza, a fish bone, a baby turtle, a banana peel on his head, sausages, a milk carton, spiders and a manhole cover on his foot.
