Trivia

 * Like many specials on Adult Swim, the special has a 22-minute runtime.
 * The special's animation and the art style is the same from Aqua Teen Hunger Force.
 * The title of this special is similar to Aqua Unit Patrol Squad 1 (the eighth season of ATHF).
 * This premieres on the same day as the new episodes of American Dad! and Tigtone aired on AS.
 * Plus, the premiere of the special is at 11:00pm after Rick and Morty, even the encore presentation is at 2:00am.
 * Unlike other ATHF episodes, it didn't have the show's theme song and its ending theme, but only the music score which composed by Kevin Manthei and Michael Kohler.
 * Plus, various censor sound effects (farting, burping, glass shattering, etc.) were replaced by an actual censor beep sound effect on the TV airings, while the uncensored version is used on the DVD release (presumably as a special feature on the Aqua Teen Hunger Force Forever: The Final Season DVD set), digital purchase and HBO Max.
 * This special marks the 20th anniversary of Aqua Teen Hunger Force, which aired between 2000 and 2015.
 * The Williams Street logo is enhanced with a smoke on the pipes from the Ghost Planet Industries building and the "WILLIAMS STREET" text and the Cartoon Network copyright information is completely black. Also, the logo does not wave in this variant, and thus is completely still without the animation at all.
 * The Ghost Planet Industries building with a smoke on the pipes can be also seen on the Space Ghost Coast to Coast episode "Surprise" where Space Ghost visits to the mail room.
 * This is the only time when Aqua Teen Hunger Force has a TV special.
 * This is the fourth time when Aqua Teen Hunger Force has a spin-off, the others were Spacecataz (a failed spin-off TV show), Carl's Stone Cold Lock of the Century of the Week and Soul Quest Overdrive.
 * This time Frieda is showing her braces in this special, just like Frylock does.
 * Most of the main characters' voices have similarities to the ones from the animated Adult Swim shows.
 * Darla's voice is similar to Bitch Pudding from Robot Chicken.
 * Also, she's reusing Bitch Pudding's quotes from every Robot Chicken episode like "Yo, what's up.", "Wait, hold up.", "Let's party!", "Yeah. You crazy, girl.", "Nothing.", "Uh-oh.", "Mmm... that's not what I heard.", "Come on then!", "Beep-beep!", "Hop in if you want to live, dystopian dildos." and "Ew, that's gross.".
 * Interestingly, Darla resembles to be Katee Sackhoff, hence of the fact that the character is voiced by the same voice actress.
 * Frieda's voice is similar to Quinn Ergon and Nightfall from Final Space.
 * Interestingly, Frieda resembles to be Quinn or Nightfall.
 * Minnie's voice is similar to the Gummy Bear from Robot Chicken.
 * However, she's also some of Trachtenberg's quotes from every Robot Chicken episode like "Oh, uh, I guess there's only... o-one way out of this...", "No-no-no! No, stop!", "Is this legal?", "Well, it's time for my daily sob and dump." and the famous horror movie scream.
 * The Aqua Teens do not appear in this special; however, in one scene where Minnie mentions Meatwad owns a restaurant.

 * Freda (in her anime-styled design) is seen on the poster.
 * Chicken Bittle is seen on a bucket of fried chicken.
 * The special's animated backgrounds were look different and more colorful than the original Aqua Teen series.
 * Similar to the ATHF episode "Last Last One Forever and Ever", but the human counterparts are different personalities in this story.
 * Also, a play area location Dr. Weird's Castle from that episode is now in a style of other family entertainment centers, such as Chuck E. Cheese's, Peter Piper Pizza, etc.
 * Don Shake's first name and Darla Shake's first name are the same that starting with the letter "D".
 * The rooms from the Aqua Teen House were look the same, but they have a bathroom and Darla's room with adding a dining table in the living room.
 * Plus, the bedrooms of Frieda and Minnie were the same as Frylock and Meatwad's rooms, but with some differences like:
 * Frieda's room: The removal of the "Visible Frylock" poster, a picture of Frylock with Dr. Weird and a diploma from Frylock's same room.
 * Minnie's room: Meatwad's same room with added a bed, a desktop computer, wardrobe, a bookshelf and other stuff, as well as the removal of the sand-filled closet, a heater bed and the scribble drawings at the wall.
 * This special is dedicated to the animator and voice actor C. Martin Croker (known for voicing Dr. Weird and Steve in ATHF), as a tribute message to him appears at the end of the special.

Easter eggs/cameos
The special features Easter eggs of several Adult Swim shows. For example:
 * A poster of Dr. Steve Brule from Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! and its spin-off Check It Out! with Dr. Steve Brule can be seen in Darla's room.
 * In one scene where Darla and Minnie entering Dr. Weird's Castle, Darla has a NTSF:SD:SUV:: backpack and Minnie has the Leptons backpack with a Baby Ball keychain.
