Deke and Randy call each other by the nicknames "Poncho" (Randy) and "Cisco" (Deke). These two character names are borrowed from "The Cisco Kid", the TV show playing in the background during the film's first story, "Old Chief Wood'nhead".
Rocky and Bullwinkle (and later the narrator) recite the closing lines from "another television program, about cowboys" when wrapping up the episode. Rocky chuckles and calls Bullwinkle "Cisco", while Bullwinkle chuckles and calls Rocky "Pancho".
