Trivia

 * Millie’s full first name is revealed to be Mildred.
 * The scene with Stolas and Blitzo’s conversation regarding the Harvest Moon Festival was shown as a preview during the BLM Helluva Charity Stream hosted on Ashley Nichols's YouTube channel on June 10, 2020.
 * Additionally, "C.H.E.R.U.B" was initially supposed to be the third episode of the first season, as revealed in the description of the BLM Charity Stream, with this episode being the fifth and "Spring Broken" presumably being the fourth.
 * An early version of the animatic revealed that the scratch track voice actor Kestin Howard also initially recorded for Blitzo in the early animatic stage, assuming Brandon re-recorded the scratch track for either the purpose of the streams or for when revisions of the animatic took place.
 * This is Ang Vondra's only storyboarded episode before she was dismissed. Her shots were minorly revised for the final release.
 * The scene where Blitzo pours hot sauce on his "cheese on a stick" snack is an inside reference to the Helluva Signing Stream on Vivziepop's YouTube channel where Brandon Rogers was shown pouring hot sauce sauce on a cheese slice during the stream.
 * It is revealed that Moxxie and Millie are both native to the Wrath Ring.
 * According to Striker, not many Imps start businesses on their own.
 * Similar to Fat Nuggets, the hogs native to Hell appear to have glowing marks similar to eyes growing across their backside.

Cultural References

 * Loona jokingly snarks "That's what she said." after hearing Blitzo's accidental innuendo, a phrase that is widely attributed to the popular TV show franchise, ', but can be traced back to the test reel of the Alfred Hitchcock film, '.

Continuity

 * Blitzo is, once again, shown to stalk Moxxie and Millie in their apartment.

Errors

 * A part of Joe’s mouth clips over his mustache when he suggests for Striker and Blitzo to enter the Pain Games.
 * During Blitzo and Moxxie's fight with Striker, the door to the room switch sides when Loona opens it.
 * Several scenes such as Stolas' announcement speech for the festival were animated at an inconsistent and much more slower speed. This is not only due to the different framerates animated but also because in-between animators were used for this episode.
