Trivia

 * In the second season's "The Gang Runs for Office" Mac calls him a "baby rapist."
 * In the first season's "Underage Drinking: A National Concern" Charlie says Dennis has "always had that creepy thing with younger girls".
 * In the seventh season's "The Storm of the Century" Dee qualified Dennis' lovemaking tactic in Paddy's bunker as "raping girls".
 * In season seven's "Thunder Gun Express," while stuck in traffic, Dennis listens to a tape he made of one of his conquests in which the girl he has brought home turns out to be 16 years old.
 * During the dinner, Charlie says to his mom "this might appeal to the whore in you!" he's still offended due to her old affair with Frank and unsuccessful abortion from "The Gang Finds a Dumpster Baby" earlier in season 3. But later, in season 6's "A Very Sunny Christmas", Charlie finds out that she was a prostitute for real.
 * Liquor stores in Pennsylvania are run by the state so no alcohol of any type is sold in a grocery store (as it is in California, where the scene was shot). Rob McElhenney points this out on the commentary.

 * This is the only time that one of the principal cast members plays a completely different person. (Glenn Howerton as Wendell Albright.) In other episodes, they'll play different versions of their usual characters (the 1776 versions of their characters in "The Gang Cracks the Liberty Bell") or different characters they create (like Charlie's "Greenman", Dee's various characters, like Martina Martinez and Taiwan Tammy, Frank's character "Dr. Mantis Toboggan", and Murtagh and Riggs in Lethal Weapon 5 and 6.)
 * Dennis and Dee are walking down Bainbridge Street in Philadelphia when Dennis is verbally accosted by multiple women mistaking him for Wendell Albright.
 * Katie McElhenney, sister of Rob, plays the woman who calls Dennis an "asshole". This is her only appearance to date on the show.
