Trivia that appeared on the 46th episode of DBC:
 * Sylvester Stallone vs Arnold Schwarzenegger was an idea for a death battle a while ago; giving them the same treatment they gave Chuck Norris in which they used everything those actors have been in. Apparently Nick was excited about this episode (13:25).
 * Sam finished writing Thor vs Wonder Woman "a while ago" (He says it was "months ago"). Apparently SA is so far ahead to the point where Sam is confused about what he's allowed to talk about.
 * Smokey VS Mcgruff was difficult to write because it was so different.
 * The reason 13 bear puns were used was because the nature of the episode allowed a much less rigid style with less math.
 * The Wiz vs Boomstick pun war was something Sam had tried to get in two other episodes but it got "shit canned" (20:40)
 * The first time Sam tried to implement a pun war was in Flash vs Quicksilver using speed puns. unfortunately the episode was already pretty confusing as is trying to explain the Speed Force and Quicksilver's parentage.
 * McGruff's time-stopping ability was thrown into question due to one commercial having characters interupt mcGruff and showing he's on a set. As such Ben and Chad put forth the possibility that instead of time-stopping, he's just video editing. Fortunately that one incident was different to the other times where McGruff stopped time as those incidents used a greyscale.
 * Ben references the death battle curse again which involves a new piece of media is unveiled as soon as SA reveals a death battle. However, it took a much darker turn than most times as Smokey's creator and original VA passed away and there was currently a wildfire episdemic going on (24:25). They also reference one of McGruff's VA's doing drugs
 * Apparently Ben's grandfather was really psyched for Smokey VS McGruff.
 * Ben believes that despite the sad ending, its still not as bad as the ending for Pokemon Vs Digimon believing it "got too fucking far".
 * Red's legs being broken was a joke yet Torrian animated it anyway.
 * Nick wrote the fight for Smokey VS McGruff. Sam wishes he was involved in that process to "stab deeper into the childhood". Ben says he had that thought process when starting death battle which is the reason why the TMNT battle royale is so brutal. However, when the episode was released, the backlash created due to the brutality of the fight caused Ben to have a bit of restraint for future fights.
 * During the fanart section Ben said if Wiz had 2 robot arms in a piece of fanart, they would make it canon (42:10).
 * Sam notes that thor being bulky in fanart makes sense and gives away a piece of the rundown by saying Thor is 6'5 (6'6) and yet is 650 pounds (44:05)!
