Fun Facts[]

Trivia[]

Remarks[]

  • Callie claims that everyone in the audience was looking at her when she was first onstage, but the curtains were actually closed until after she ran offstage due to her stage fright. Thus, it would be impossible for the audience to see her with the curtains closed.
  • The credits do not mention the following voice roles:

Goofs[]

  • When the episode was first uploaded on Yippee, the video was in a lower quality. This was later fixed a couple days after the initial release.
  • When Larry tells the king about his family in Jerusalem, his body jerks up a few times.
  • Larry’s costume disappears at the beginning of Brave.
  • Throughout Brave, there are a few moments when Larry sings, but his mouth does not move.
  • In the episode's description, "perform" is misspelt as "preform".

Inside References[]

  • Multiple costumes are re-used or modified from previous episodes:
  • Sam Wahba is a reference to former editor John Wahba.
  • Callie's line "Everyone was looking at me" is a reference to one of LarryBoy's lines from The Yodelnapper!, which happened after he too ran offstage due to having stage fright of his own.
  • Mr. Lunt calls Larry a pickle after the latter corrects his name. Later in the episode, when Larry says that his gang will build with one hand and carry a sword with the other, Jimmy acknowledges that they do not have hands, to which Larry states that it is a figure of speech.
    • Both of these are callbacks to a couple of popular running gags from the original series.
  • This is the second time the peas attack the veggies from a wall, the first being Josh and the Big Wall!.
  • The cuckoo clock sound effect that is heard when Larry drinks the poisoned latte cup is the same as the sound heard in Daniel and the Lion’s Den.
  • The throne room backdrop is re-used from a few previous episodes.
  • The dove puppet flying over the broken walls at the beginning of the story is the same one from Patience Takes Practice.

Real-World References[]

  • The episode's title could possibly be based off of the Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, mainly because "True" and "Courage" use the same beginning letters as "Two" and "Cities".
  • Ride of the Blueberry Valkyrie is a parody of Ride of the Valkyries.
    • Additionally, Madame Blueberry's song Blueberry Valkyrie is sung to the tune of said opera.
  • Wheel of Bravery is a reference to Wheel of Fortune.
  • Wink Gourdondale is a parody of game show host Wink Martindale.
  • The logo on the latte cup Larry uses is likely based off of the Starbucks logo.
