In another Three Stooges short, We Want Our Mummy (1939), as Moe and Larry are looking for the lost sarcophagus of King Rootin Tootin, Curly claims that he found “A tisket, a tasket—that green and yellow basket.”
Mummy's Dummies takes place during the reign of King Rootentootin, played by the rather tall and rotund Vernon Dent, but in the film We Want Our Mummy, Rootinrootin is said to be a midget.
The boss searches in Curly's jacket, pulls a newspaper out and reads " 'Yanks win World Series'—can you beat that!"

We Want Our Mummy is the first Stooge film to employ "Three Blind Mice" as the Stooges' official theme song (the song also appeared somewhat prematurely in 1938's Flat Foot Stooges, due to some confusion in that film's release date).
