Trivia
The plot for this episode was accidentally given away by both the iTunes and YouTube releases of "A Tale of Two Stans." This error was later fixed.
 * The Watch Disney XD release had a similar error. It said "Grunkle Stan decides to run for mayor," which would be the Watch Disney XD description for this episode, but it appeared on the Watch Disney XD stream for "A Tale of Two Stans." It was later changed to match the plot of "A Tale of Two Stans."
 * In anticipation for the episode, a Twitter account (@StanPines4Mayor) was created for Stan's platform.
 * In addition, a website was also created.

Cryptograms
The cryptogram in the end credits is CWZSQVQBEWZSQVQBEWZSQVQMPHKD'MZ!, which after being decoded with the Vigenere key WORKINIT, translates to GIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTT'EM! The key can be seen in the upper left corner of a newspaper.

The end card for this episode reads: Be wary of whom you belittle, big problems can start out widdle.
