- Porky is called "Pinky" by Speedy Gonzales in Monster Talent and is the first character to have an incorrect name used to name them by a different character on the show.
- Interestingly, Pinky is the name of Porky's nephew in the 1938 Looney Tunes. It's unknown if this is a coincidence.
- In high school, Porky was a popular jock who bullied Daffy, but apologized for it.

- Despite such gag, Porky has been seen with girls before Petunia's introduction, like in episodes "French Fries", "Beauty School", and "Point Laser Point" (in Merri Melodies only). All those instances were a result of Speedy in some way. In high school, Porky was the exact opposite of his current self as he was easily able to attract girls.
