Trivia

• This episode is the fifth and final part of the near week-long summer event of "Island Adventures".
• Robin breaks the fourth wall by stating that if the Titans were on a TV show, their experiences on a deserted island would be a week long event known as "Island Adventures".
• This episode has the largest list of villains in the series, with over 51 villains appearing.
• One of Robin's birdarangs is also a mp3 player. Some previous songs that were sung in the series he had on his playlist is the Pee Pee Dance, The Burrito/Burger Song, Cool School Song, Real Real Boy, Crack That Cookie, Pyramid Mummy Money (titled "Pyramid Scheme" on the list), I Love Pie (titled "Pie Song" on the list), and Scary Figure Dance (titled "Scary Figure" on the list).
• The villains' hate comments about The Titans Show represent real life comments from people who despise Teen Titans Go!.
• Slade makes his first "in person" appearance in the series. He appears at the very end of the episode.
  • Other recognizable DC villains made a appearance the same time Slade did. Some included are Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, The Joker, The Penguin, etc.
  • Most of these "other villains" appear to be from Batman.
• It seems Raven's new bond with Terra and her re-claimed friendship with Rose in "Operation Dude Rescue" are no longer in check according to this episode, as Raven battled both Rose and Terra all at once, during the final battle.
  • Also, Blackfire, who reformed in "Mr. Butt", seems to have relapsed back to her venomous ways and unwavering resentment of her younger sister.
• Kyd Wykkyd is the only villain from the original series to appear in Teen Titans Go!, but to not appear in this episode.
• Music from "History Lesson" was heard when the Island Adventures extras battling the villians.
• Darkseid gets a redesign in this episode. The Riddler and The Joker also had a design different from how they appeared in Real Boy Adventures.
• The crab who is holding a camera is the exact same crab that appeared in Season 2.

Continuity

• This is the second episode where Control Freak complains about the Titans and the show. The first time was in "The Fourth Wall".
• Raven is seen unhooded for the 44th time in this series.

References

• The freckle on Beast Boy's bottom apparently looks like Mickey Mouse according to Beast Boy.
  • Also, whilst the other Titans argue over what his freckle looks like, Robin concludes that, "Obviously, it's two bears high-fiving." This is a reference to a joke revolving around Fallout: New Vegas, in which many players thought a picture in an ink-blot test was a pair of bears high-fiving, despite not being a choice listed in-game.
• This episode's title and plot are an obvious a reference to the 1998 movie The Truman Show; starring Jim Carey. This is evidenced by the Titans being recorded on with cameras on an island inside a giant dome without their knowledge and watched by many people.
• DCUmblr is an obvious parody of Tumblr.
• Cyborg and Beast Boy played the coconut version of the online ping pong game is a homage of the classic Ping Pong online game.

Errors

• The Perfect Sandwich was eaten by Robin on Sandwich Thief, but it managed to get out of Robin's body.
• Vegetor appears to be much smaller than he was in Vegetables.

Running Gags

• Robin repeatedly saying "Island Adventure".
• Chrous singing "Island Adventure" a few times.
