Trivia[]
- This episode reveals the name of the light tan little girl fish with light blue lips and a pink skirt—Susie. (The captions make it spelled "Suzy".)
- Two clips from this episode were on the Deep Sea Danger Zone commercial, but it did not premiere during the week. It was planned to air as the fourth premiere, but was changed to Squid's Visit.
- This is the second time Karen is seen crying. The first was Single Cell Anniversary but it was different. In that episode, Karen is actually crying, and then shorts out. This, she just says references to crying, such as "Sob, sob, cry, sob."
- First time Chum Nuggets are heard.
- This is the last episode before Nickelodeon changes its logo (from an orange blob with white letters to lowercased orange letters that spell NICK).
- During one part where Mr. Krabs and Plankton are digging underground, it may be a reference to the classic Namco arcade game Dig Dug, when they keep going under each other to make the other one fall.
- This episode has the same opening theme music as The Splinter.
- When you watch online and at the end there is a black screen then later the ending credits without music and no words on it and it messes up a bit it might not happen all the time.
- With everyone trapped underground in the end of the episode, sooner or later they'll notice that they won't be able to pay for the Krabby Patties or run out, thus there won't be nothing left to eat.
- Another time Bikini Bottom went underground was in That Sinking Feeling.
- In this episode, the secret recipe is seen hid under a wooden plank floor in Mr.Krab's office,but in episode the Plankton's Army Squidward says "Let me guess, it's at home, under your mattress" , and Mr.Krabs rushes to his house. It is possible that he moved the secret recipe to his office after Squidward revealed where he hid it.
- In the Chum Caverns, there is no elevator shown going back up.
- The first time the elevator is shown going down 8 people are enter it from ground level. The second time only six people enter at ground level.
- In the "15 minutes later" title card, the narrator sobs while saying "15 minutes later".
- The "Cave Dwellers" in this episode are a play on the Morlock's from the 1960 film, The Time Machine.
