This episode made the Parents Television Council's "Worst Primetime TV Show of the Week" list for the week of December 6-12.
This is the first time it's heard that Michael (Jason Bateman)'s former wife was named Tracy (Maria Thayer).
George Sr. (Jeffrey Tambor), disguised as Oscar, says he smoked some weed "like a cigarette," similar to George Michael (Michael Cera)'s description in episode 1.10, Pier Pressure (2004).
Michael (Jason Bateman)'s wife being named Tracy (Maria Thayer) is a reference to episode 1.20, Whistler's Mother (2004). Before Lucille (Jessica Walter) has a chat with Mr. Vandenbosh, young Michael is very upset and among others, he says "Tracy won't marry me".
