Trivia[]

  • The mansion is a broccoli-free house.
  • We learn the mansion has an escape pod and a military weapon room.
  • This episodes reveals that Gordon is allergic to broccoli And chocolate.
    • In real life, chocolate is actually quite poisonous to cats, as well as other animals, such as dogs and birds (the latter two of which chocolate is quite lethal to)
  • Many fans of Catscartch were terrified of this episode due to Gordon’s allergic reaction of Turing into a monster.

References[]

  • Gordon’s allergic reaction form is very similar to the Monster Mr. Hyde from the book Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde By Robert Louis Stevenson.
  • This episode is very similar to the Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends episode "Bloooo". Both groups of main characters watch a scary black and white movie on a stormy day, while one of the main characters of Gordon getting a allergic reaction and the character Bloo getting a cold, making both of them look like the creatures in the films. Both episodes have the other characters freak out and run away from them throughout the episodes.

Continuity[]

  • Human Kimberly mentions her family's vegetable garden early on in this episode. In a later episode "Core-uption", Gordon is seen working on his own vegetable garden, presumably to share his interests with Kimberly's interests.
  • Despite at the end of the episode where we learn that Gordon is also allergic to chocolate, in future episodes, Gordon is around or touching chocolate.

Errors[]

  • When Human Kimberly is at the front door, it is not raining, though it is in all other outside shots.
  • When Mr. Blik and Waffle rush out of the elevator, their lips can be seen synced to the line, "The monster!". However, in the final version, they actually scream that before they run.
  • While impersonating Gordon, Waffle mentions "goats on a crag", which was never mentioned by Gordon in the show until the next episode "King Of All Root Beer".
    • This could be proof that the episode "King Of All Root Beer" was produced before "Lovesick".
  • The German variation of this episode's title card has the artwork of a sick Gordon resting in a bed re-positioned, leaving part of the bed cut off (the part that was previously behind the word "Lovesick").
  • When Mr. Blik says "Back!, you ate my brother", Gordon’s tail is missing.
