Trivia[]

  • This episode title is a word play of "One Claw McCraw" and "crawdad".
  • It is revealed that Professor Utonium's family owned a shack by the lake.
  • It is revealed that Morbucks owns a gold yacht.
    • Also, Morbuck's gold yacht is a giant fighting robot which is a reference to the show Voltron.
  • Blossom hikes with the Professor, while Bubbles and Buttercup try to catch a legendary crawdad.
  • In this episode, Buttercup uses a pirate's accent for the majority of the episode. (She thinks it's a sailor's accent)
  • This is one of the few episodes to not show either in the Utonium's household or the Midway Elementary School.
  • In the title card, Buttercup's 1998 counterpart is shown. Making this the second episode to have the main character resemble their 1998 counterpart. The first time was "The Wrinklegruff Gals" in a flashback, Bubble's 1998 design is shown, but in the 2016 series' style of animation.
  • The episode is reminiscent of Moby Dick, with Buttercup taking the role of Captain Ahab and the One-Armed Crawdad acting in place of the titular whale.
  • Buttercup calling the trip "Legendary" is a possible reference to Barney Stinson's (played by Neil Patrick Harris) catch phrase from How I Met Your Mother.
  • This is the second time in the entire PPG franchise where Professor and the Girls go camping. The first time was in the original series' episode "Roughing It Up".
  • Buttercup fantasizing herself capturing One Claw McCraw with her biceps making this the second time evet since "Splitsville".
  • This episode premiered during the original series creator, Craig McCracken's 46th birthday.
  • This episode is included on the The Powerpuff Girls: The Last Donnycorn (V2) DVD.
  • The following list of the Professor suffered from the camping environment:
    • Mosquito bites.
    • Poison ivy.
    • Bear traps.
    • Chased by a bear and a mountain lion.
    • Covered in shrubs.
  • Irony: Buttercup wanted to capture the legendary One Claw McCraw, until she realized that catching a crawdad is wrong so she decides to put it back in the lake.
  • The name "One Claw McCraw" might be a reference to the name of the Hanna-Barbera character, Quick Draw McGraw.
