Allusions[]
- The title of this episode is actually a play on Mission: Impossible, which was a 1966 spy-thriller television series starring Peter Graves and future Space: 1999 stars Martin Landau and Barbara Bain. The TV show was remade as a series of big-budget action films starring Tom Cruise.
- Impossible Man paraphrases the famous line "You like me! You really like me!", which is actually a popularly mis-quoted piece spoken by Sally Field while giving her acceptance speech at the 1985 Academy Awards for winning her second Best Supporting Actress Oscar for the film Places of the Heart.
- At one point, the Impossible Man says "What's shawarma?" This is a wink to the 2012 live-action film The Avengers, in which Tony Stark expresses in interest in getting Shawarma after the Battle of New York. A bonus scene at the end of the movie shows the character's enjoying food at a local shawarma restaurant.
