The capsule notes for this episode sate that Viva Los Muertos means "The Dead Live" I've never taken spanish in my life so I might be wrong, but I think it actually means, somthing along the lines of: "Celebrate The Dead" or "We Want The Dead." I don't know for sure though. Like I said, I'm not a spanish speaker.

My Spanish is not great but here's what I know. The literal translation is "The Dead Live", but the meaning is closer to "Long Live The Dead!"
Little Jorge says "¡Viva los zapatos!" or "Long live the shoes!" This is a nod to "¡Viva Zapata!" a phrase used to honor Emiliano Zapata, a hero of the Mexican Revolution and sometimes used as a protest cry even in modern times. He's also famous for having said "It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees."
And yes, his last name meant "shoe."

I find it hard to believe that no one has mentioned the Robot Chicken Season 11 finale with the Venture Bros Season 8 scene at the very end: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKH-J3f2RkM
