* ShoutOut: The title of the episode "Will The Real Coolmobile Please Stand Up?" obviously nods to the catch phrase from the game show ''Series/ToTellTheTruth''. Cool himself invokes the phrase when two Coolmobiles show up.
** An episode in which domestic birds defect to the Owl's camp featured a peacock in a TV studio showing its colorful feathers for the camera. The ''Cool [=McCool=]'' show aired on NBC, home of the now famous peacock.

Cool was a secret agent working at Secret, Incorporated. His chief was called simply Number One, who would send him out against such evildoers as the Owl; Jack-in-the-Box; hat-themed MadScientist Dr. Madcap and his green-haired henchwoman, Greta Ghoul; the serpentine Rattler, and Hurricane Harry. Cool tended to defeat his foes through dumb luck (a la [[Series/GetSmart Maxwell Smart]]), but no matter how well he did against his rogues' gallery, afterward he'd mess things up with Number One, causing Number One to eject Cool from his office.

* TheFaceless: Number One. Normally, all one would see of him was one or both arms sticking out from a large chair. One time Cool accidentally sets off a bomb that blasts Number one up to the ceiling, and we get to see the chief's rotund body and wildly-kicking legs in addition to his arms -- but his head is imbedded in the ceiling and thus still unseen!
