| - Cobra uses kidnapped scientists as bait to lure G.I. Joe into a deadly Cobra-themed funhouse!
- The Funhouse is a 1981 horror film that centers on four teenagers who become trapped inside a funhouse and stalked by a deformed man. The film was directed by Tobe Hooper and the screenplay was written by Larry Block. The cast features Kevin Conway, William Finley and two-time Academy Award-nominee Sylvia Miles. A novelization of the film was written by Dean Koontz, it was released before the film because production took longer than expected.
- The Funhouse is a fictional location from the Wild Cards series of books. Owned by Xavier Desmond since the mid-1960's when he bought it from Angelface. The Funhouse is one of Jokertown's oldest watering holes and has played host to all of the famous joker nightclub acts. The establishment is adorned with numerous mirrors, usually distorted, so nats seeing their own reflections will see a version of themselves as warped as the jokers who come here in equal measure.
- You enter by going through the spinning barrel and then go through a dark room, soon the light turns on and you'll see many mirrors, one makes you look just like Mr. Scatterbrain except you still have your own face and colors. At the end, there's a elephant tunnel with robotic feet; all you've got to do is avoid getting crushed by them. It only appeared in Fair.
- A horror RPG created by horrorfan45, based on the Dean Koontz novel and the 1980's horror movie with the same name.
- "The Funhouse" is a piece included in the American McGee's Alice Original Soundtrack. The piece is played during the Behind the Looking Glass level as Alice makes her way through the Tweedles' funhouse, an area full of machinations, Insane Children and looking-glasses, most of which are distorted to represent a typical fairground funhouse. Other than several inaudible noises made by humans and monsters alike during the end of the instrumental, it is the second piece of the soundtrack to involve no dialogue whatsoever.
- The Funhouse is an upcoming 2014 American Horror Film remake of the original 1981 Tobe Hooper Horror Film of the same name. It is to be directed by former music video director Anthony Mandler and written by by Michael Finch and Alex Litvack. It is to star James Franco, Bella Heathcote, Heather Hemmens, Desi Lydic, Brady Corbet, Jamie Bell and Corbin Bernsen. The film secured a Saturn Award Nomination for Best Production Design and two BAFTA nominations for Best Score and Best Supporting Actress: Desi Lydic. The film is set for DVD and Blu-Ray release on September 24th, 2013.
- The carnival has come to town! Four teens (Amy, Buzz, Richie and Liz) are having a Double Date and decide to visit the travelling carnival. After seeing the usual attractions, they smoke some dope and have the bright idea to stay in the funhouse after the carnival's closing. There's also a sub-plot with Amy's little brother Joey that just provides few cheap scares.

| - "What's the hurry? The Commander's having fun."
- "How come Flint always gets Lady Jaye to go with him and I always get you?"
:--Alpine and Bazooka have a special relationship
"Watch your tongue while you still have it!"
:--Zartan, to the Baroness
"You venal mercenary! Your acting couldn't get you onto a soap opera."
:-- Baroness showing what she thinks of Zartan. And teaching kids the word "venal" at the same time.
"Woo-wee! This is just like cleaning a stable back home!"
:--Wild Bill, after firing a brace of missiles at some H.I.S.S. tanks. This is why he's in the army and not a rancher.
"Let's get it over with!"
- Flint: "What? What was that you said?"
Alpine: "Oh, we were just discussing what a--"
Lady Jaye: "So, does someone here want to take me for a stroll on a moonlit beach?"
Bazooka: "Sure! Hey!"
Alpine: "Please excuse my friend here. I'll take you."
Flint: "You do and you'll be scrubbing bathrooms for a week."
Alpine: "On second thought, why don't you take her, Bazooka?"
Bazooka: "No way."
Lady Jaye: "You sure know how to keep a girl single."
Flint: "That's right, she sees right through me."

:-- Baroness and Zartan sniping at each other.
Alpine: "Flint sure likes to talk a lot, doesn't he?"

| Errors
| - *Zap appears from nowhere to blow open the temple, though it is possible he arrived in a second wave of troops between the Joes taking out the Cobras and fully pacifying the battlefield. That though doesn't particularly gel with Flint's instructions for him to wait for Gung-Ho and the support team to arrive.
*When the three Cobra Troopers jump Bazooka, one of them had to be visible while he was walking up - the guy was on the same side of the rock as him!
*Flint looks at his wrist to find out the time, but isn't drawn with a watch.
*The electromagnet, of course, doesn't actually strip the Joes of all their metal objects, just their weapons and Airtight's helmet. They all keep their belts, boot eyelets and Flint's bandolier of ammo.
*Why do the rollercoaster tracks just end against a brick wall? There's not even a brake buffer or anything.
*Flint has trouble locating Lady Jaye's pulse after she is knocked out by a Cobra robot. It doesn't help that he tries to do it while wearing his gloves.
*Hang on, so it takes Zap a bundle of dynamite and a huge explosion to get into the temple, but Lady Jaye can break down an exterior wall to get out just with a javelin?
*The explosion of the island is quite blatantly nuclear in appearance, but no one is affected by it – Flint is even able to fly through the fallout with no ill effects.
**In fact, Flint's escape should be completely implausible, even by cartoon standards. There was no way he had enough time to carry Dusty to a Skystriker, get in and get airborne before the island blew up and his Skystriker would have been completely destroyed by its proximity to the explosion.
*The Baroness and Cobra Commander escape the large Cobra base in a Rattler that appears to leave from the very hangar that the Joes entered through and are rounding up the Cobra rank and file in.

| - thumb|150px|right|Old soldiers never die, they just fade away.
*Zartan's chameleon-like abilities are used as invisibility for the opening scene.
*Zartan's can of knockout gas is branded with a Cobra symbol, for maximum discretion.
*Lady Jaye uses an explosive javelin in this episode to take out a wall.
*Bazooka takes a laser blast to the head, but it is blocked by his apparently laser-proof helmet.
**The Joes may use helmets designed to withstand low level laser blasts.
*When Bazooka punches the Cobras, his fists manage to dent their helmets.
**Helmet strength was sacrificed for budget and cost saving measures.
*$60 billion ransom? Well, aim high and negotiate down, I guess.
*How do the Joes ID the temple as Cobra? By the giant, gold Cobra stuck on the top of it. Now that's branding.
*A Cobra Firebat, which would formally be released in 1986 with the Terror Drome playset, makes its first appearance here, albeit in a blue/gray color scheme.
*Breaker traces the call to South America, which is more than a little vague. He's supposed to be a communications expert; you'd think he'd be able to trace a call more specifically.
*Man, Flint is a complete dick to Alpine at the end of the episode, using his higher rank to threaten him out of spending time with Lady Jaye.
*Several shots from this episode made it into the closing credits, including Bazooka tripping over the log, the missiles curving toward the temple, and the roomful of balloons.
