Trivia
"The Curse Of Dethklok"
- The first Dethklok fan being interviewed is the character "Goat" from the series Megas XLR and Downtown. He was voiced in the first episode by Metallica guitarist and vocalist James Hetfield. Goat has been said to make guest appearances in future episodes.
- The band is seen in a grocery store named after the Finnish metal band Finntroll.
- When they are in the supermarket, Nathan Explosion makes references to several Cannibal Corpse songs, such as "Every Bone Broken", "Rotted Body Landslide", and "Hammer Smashed Face".
- Toki Wartooth talks about the previous restaurant helicopter chef's brain being blown out and how it would make a good album cover. This is a reference to the suicide of Mayhem singer Per Yngve Ohlin, also known as Dead, who committed suicide with a shotgun blast to his head. It was later used as the cover for the bootleg Dawn of the Black Hearts
- The life support systems strewn about Dethklok's lair keeping the chef alive are a direct reference to the album cover of Voivod's "Killing Technology".
- In Toki's shopping cart there is, among other items (including tampons, thrown in by Skwisgaar), a box of cereal with Toki's likeness on it. The only word on the box is "metal"
"Happy Dethday"
- On the Adult Swim Fix, this episode was billed as "Birthdayface".
- Goat makes a guest appearance as a member of the audience during the demolition derby.
- For a birthday present, Murderface receives a new car, complete with metal accessories. As the band is admiring it, Toki quotes, "Big fat tires and everything!", a reference to the Deep Purple song "Highway Star".
- The car given to Murderface was the Presidential limousine that John F. Kennedy was shot in. Aside from being souped up and "desecrated", as Nathan Explosion put it, the driver's seat was also replaced with the theater chair that Lincoln was shot in.
"Dethtroll"
- The Finnish troll could be seen as another reference to Finntroll.
- It is revealed that neither Toki nor Skwisgaar knows how to read music and that they usually resort to the "old music school trick" of playing random notes.
- There is also a reference made to the band Children of Bodom at the end of the episode, when the band's hometown of Espoo, Finland is seen on fire and in ruins. The lake from which said troll was summoned may also be a reference to Lake Bodom - from which the band derived its name.
"Dethkomedy"
- During the sequence in which the band's comedic success is represented by a series of newspapers and magazine covers, a magazine called "Donkey Punch" is shown, referring to a sexual technique depicted in an episode of the internet Flash cartoon series Retarded Animal Babies among other cultural references.
