Trivia:

• The title of the episode is a parody of Mel Gibson's film The Passion of the Christ.

• The Armstrong Elder character is an amalgamation of two well-known Black conservatives; Armstrong Williams, who is an American political commentator, entrepreneur, author, talk show host, and adviser to Ben Carson, and Larry Elder, an American talk radio host, author, attorney, and documentary filmmaker.
• During Huey's description of Operation Black Steel, he mentions how Granddad would remain in the car and watch Friday. This is in reference to John Witherspoon's (Granddad's voice actor) role as Mr. Willie Jones in the movie "Friday".

The governor being gay is a reference to former New Jersey Governor James McGreevey, who resigned after it was revealed he had an extramarital homosexual affair.
