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 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 recieves 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 know how to read music and usually resort to the "old music school trick" of playing random notes.
  • The band performs in Espoo, Finland, the home city of Children of Bodom and the lake that the troll rises from may be Lake Bodom
