Trivia
- Mr. Turner's hatred and jealousy of Mr. Dinkleberg is similar to Homer Simpson, another moronic cartoon dad, and his hatred of Ned Flanders and his family from The Simpsons, which Butch Hartman is a big fan of that show. However, the Dinklebergs don't have any children and Dinkleberg has a wife while Flanders has two sons called Rod and Todd and Maude Flanders, who was the Ned Flanders's wife, is dead since the episode, "Alone Again, Natura-Diddily". Ned Flanders has married "Edna Krabappel" as of the episode, "Ned 'n Edna's Blend".
- A parody of Ned Flanders appears on The Fairly OddParents episode, "Channel Chasers", in The Feldmans, which is a parody of The Simpsons.
- Sheldon Dinkleberg could also be a reference to Stephen Hillenburg, creator of SpongeBob SquarePants, who is Butch Hartman's "rival" on the network. The show's antagonist Plankton is also called Sheldon.

- Even though Sheldon Dinkleberg doesn't seem to want (or like) children, he is willing to be involved with them as evidenced by the fact he is coach of the pee-wee soccer team named the Dinkle Ducks. He even once gave Timmy a bike and money out of kindness.
- In the episode, Operation: Dinkleberg, it's revealed that Sheldon donated one of his kidneys to save Mr. Turner's life.
