Trivia
Template:Trivia
- This one of the few non-special episodes with a DVD based off of it.
- SpongeBob should already know about Vikings because in the episode "Bubble Buddy," he celebrates Leif Eriksson Day, meaning that Bubble Buddy is after this episode.
- When one would watch this episode in German, all the Vikings are called Olaf except Gordon, who is called Günther.
- This episode is available on iTunes store before or when this episode aired, and is paired with "Ditchin'" for just $1.99 the pair.
- This episode marks the second appearance of the Bikini Bottom Post Office. The first appearance was in "Hocus Pocus."
- The Nickelodeon Logo is surrounded by a pink background on this DVD version.
- SpongeBob's letter:
- Dear Vikings, I am writing to ask you guys about your lives and stuff. If you had take the time to answer all my neat questions, then that would be really swell.
- List of facts about Vikings way of life:
- Like to redecorate (demolish things)
- Do appropriate things (steal loot)
- Liberate (take hostages)
- Fun activities:
- Shield toss
- Flaming shield toss
Cultural references
- All the Vikings being named Olaf may be a reference to the Bruces sketch by Monty Python's Flying Circus.
- When the ship hits an iceberg and almost sank, it could be a reference of the real-life ship RMS Titanic which sank when it hit an iceberg on April 14, 1912.
Errors
- When the ship hits the iceberg, the head fell off, but later, it is still there.
- When Squidward talks about the helmet, there are cobwebs in it, but later, there are no cobwebs.
- During the scene where SpongeBob says "I'll let you know if I think of anything," his nose looks like Squidward's. Then when the camera switches, then switches back to SpongeBob, his nose is normal again.
