Thomas Jane is in this episode playing himself pretending to be a homeless man as research for an upcoming movie role. In fact, when Jane first came to Hollywood, he had no money and lived as a homeless man.
After Michael (Jason Bateman) and Gob (Will Arnett)'s rock/scissors fight, the Narrator (Ron Howard) says, "Unfortunately, the whole incident was covered by the paper," continuing with the rock-scissors-paper gag.
In "Let 'Em Eat Cake (2004)," Alessandra Torresani played George Michael (Michael Cera)'s girlfriend Ann, and her brief performance was singled out for praise by the rest of the cast on the DVD commentary for the episode. By season two, however, Ann was played by the very different-looking Mae Whitman. This casting change is possibly a joke, since Michael repeatedly forgets what Ann looks like, and Maeby (Alia Shawkat) jealously calls her "No Face."
The truck that Tobias (David Cross) rode on and blended into because of his blue paint had the label "Blendin Moving & Storage."
When Tobias (David Cross) disguises himself with the silver diamond cream he is wearing the same silver blouse that Lindsay wore in the flashback scene at the beginning of the episode when she asked a man at a bar if she could buy him a drink. This is also a running joke where Tobias is often seen wearing Lindsay (Portia de Rossi)'s or women's clothing.
