Trivia:

In the next to last episode of the series, “Exit Strategy”, Michael, Buster, and G.O.B. encounter Saddam Hussein lookalikes, one of whom is played by Larry Thomas, who famously portrayed the "Soup Nazi" on Seinfeld. This is an inside joke for the series, as George Bluth comments in an earlier episode that when he first met Saddam he thought he was meeting the man who played the "Soup Nazi."
