An alien crash-lands and arrives at Superjail.

"Lord Stingray Crash Party" contains examples of:

  • A Day in the Limelight: The introductory episode for Lord Stingray.
  • Continuity Nod: The two bored inmates from "Combaticus" are shown in the prison camp run by Stingray's soldiers, even standing right beside each other.
    • The pale bald inmate from "Mr. Grumpy-Pants" note  is seen in the standoff at the end, with the Warden and inmates vs. Stingray's soldiers.
  • Expy: Lord Stingray himself is one for Cobra Commander, Catastro is Destro, and Mistress Kilda is the Baroness. The "Stars N Stripes" team's Joe inspirations are a little less discernable. Sally Donovan and Eric Bauza do what they can to imitate the voices of their characters' inspirations, although unlike Destro, Catastro was made The Unintelligible.
  • Freeze-Frame Bonus: As Stingray takes over the jail, look for the poster that reads "Stingray, All Ways!". Behind it are several miniature Stingray statues with bared feminine breasts, along with miniature stingray shapes covering up their crotches (ala fig leaves). This is a rare case of detailed breasts slipping by the censors, likely due to the fact they were a background detail and shown briefly.
    • Alice manages to knock some of Mistress Kilda's teeth out before doing the infamous "breast attack".
  • Funny Background Event: If you watch the scene where Stingray laughs evilly in the Warden's office, Jailbot and Jacknife can be seen rapidly flying by outside the window before the switch to the next sequence.
    • As Lord Stingray explains how he got to the Superjail island, some inmates can be seen flying around in a hot air balloon outside the window, searching for something with a telescope.
  • Pixellation: In the broadcast version, Alice's pubic hair is blurred out, making things seem a lot dirtier in the scene where the Stars N Stripes spy on her. On the DVD, it's clear that it was just the hair and that there was no genitalia involved.
  • Precision F-Strike: "Oh poo." "I knew we'd miss some SHIT going away this week!"- otherwise known as the first time viewers get to hear the Twins cursing.
  • Stock Footage: When the inmates and the Warden are surrounded by Lord Stingray's army in the climax (same shot mentioned in "Off Model"), Nicky's disturbed-looking face at the bottom right of the screen is actually a recycled character model from "Superbar" (note that the rest of his shoulder also isn't lined or inked in, and that he's not facing in the same direction as the other inmates, and doesn't have his arms up). A number of other inmates are also copy-pasted from different episodes (including "Time-Police part 2").
    • During the Warden's speech about Superjail in Stingray's prison camp, a few particular inmates are copy and pasted to help fill out the crowd. In particular inmates seen multiple times: The bored black inmate (the same one from "Combaticus" and other cameos), his bored gray-haired white cellmate, a bald white inmate with no facial hair, a white inmate with a long brown goatee, a bald white inmate with a gray mustache, and a short black inmate with a unibrow and beard.
