Trivia[]
- This is the second segment that hasn't shown a title card. The first was Flammable, but the words "Super Heroes" were shown in the song.
- Antagonists, sort of: The Justice League, and the Elongated Man (when he took money from superman).
- This is the third time Captain Marvel appears. He appeared in Shazamwich! and Superheroes: They're Just Like Us.
- This skit is similar to Smallville: Turn Off the Clark and VICTORious.
- Kid Flash / Bart Allen is voiced by Jason Marsden, who also voiced the character (in his Impulse identity) in Young Justice.
- This is the 24th segment that the name of the MAD parody is said.
- Despite the name reference to That's What Friends Are For, the tune sounds more like Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious from Mary Poppins, so it's in no way a parody of the former.
