In season two, Gob (played by Will Arnett) and Michael (played by Jason Bateman) are talking about Gob's wife, and Michael is questioning Gob about her name. Gob obviously doesn't know it, but he says, "Well, she's got a name. And I'm gonna find out what it is, and I'm gonna make a pun on it, and that's what I'll call her. Bad example--if her name's Amy, I'll call her Blamy." The actress who play's Gob's wife is Will Arnett's real life wife at the time, Amy Poehler.
When Maggie (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) tells Michael (Jason Bateman) they last saw each other "eight and a half months ago" he says "could have sworn it was a year" referencing the fact that episode 1.17, Justice Is Blind (2004), aired eleven months before this episode, a reference to FOX's erratic scheduling of the series.
Michael (Jason Bateman) and Sally (Christine Taylor) are eating brunch at Skip Church's Bistro on a Sunday, thus "skipping church." The bistro's name can be seen briefly on the cover of its menu.
Gob (Will Arnett)'s wife (Amy Poehler)'s penchant for daring found a natural outlet in the armed services in Iraq. She is pictured in a set of photos resembling those that surfaced when the Abu Ghraib prison scandal broke.
