Trivia/Goofs
- The ending is similar to an Ed, Edd n Eddy episode Little Ed Blue where Johnny 2x4 pulls a rock out of Ed's shoe, curing Ed of his bad and destructive mood during the episode.
- The plot of this episode appears to be a parody of classic zombie movies such as 28 Days Later, Night of the Living Dead, and most notably, Shaun of the Dead, and Dawn of the Dead.
- Around the end, most people who weren't "infected" fled and locked themselves in the Krusty Krab. This is what happened in Dawn of the Dead.
- This episode is similar to the viral outbreak in the Resident Evil series, when Raccoon City is infected with a virus and all of the citizens became zombies. Also, when SpongeBob is first attacked by the zombies, some of the zombies are in police uniform, which is similar to the zombies in Resident Evil 2.
- Mad Snail Disease is a parody of Mad Cow Disease. The disease for snails is like rabies.
The people evacuating Bikini Bottom could be references to numerous films notably Armageddon, Deep Impact, Independence Day, *and War of the Worlds.
- The evacuation itself may be reference to the Houston, Texas evacuation of the very dangerous Hurricane Rita in 2005.
