Production Background
Keith David used to shout out "jalapeña" as a replacement for "hallelujah." He picked that up from a Blues singer named Bernadine Mitchell. [1] Voice Director Jamie Thomason bet Greg Weisman he could not work that into the show, and Greg bet that he could. [2] Later, Gary Sperling wrote and story edited "Protection" (poor, innocent Gary Sperling), and Greg worked in a little subplot involving jalapeño peppers, so that at the end, Goliath would shout "Jalapeña!" [3]
Frank Paur and others who worked on the show hated it. [4]
Though Goliath's encounter with jalapeño peppers at the end of "Protection" leads to it becoming a pseudo-curse, Broadway uses it in that sense earlier in the episode, before Goliath's experience.
In 2021, NECA would immortalize the running gag in plastic.
Tidbit
Prior to its usage in "Protection", Brooklyn says jalapeña when parasailing for the first time in Marvel Comics Gargoyles #5 "Venus In Stone".
