During recording sessions of Back at the Barnyard, they had given the memo that the show would get cancelled so the sessions became mostly a playground for the VAs (most of the Dr.Pig sessions were ad-libs by his voice actor during this period). In an interview on the Rob Paulsen podcast, Otis' VA remembered a case where the cast were singing a song called "Dick Tits" during the recording sessions of the Christmas special when a Nick executive came in which prompted the voice director to say "Oh hey Larry, Whatchu gonna do? Cancel us more?"
