Trivia:

While he and Maeby are watching a screening for their studio's new horror film, Mort comments that the monster "looks like ALF". We then hear a character in the film say "That's the creature that ate our cat!" The alien sitcom character ALF was well known for wanting to eat the family cat.

Quotes:

Narrator: GOB had just opened up a new banana stand like 20 feet from the old banana stand.
Michael: Oh yeah? Me and my banana stand are going to kick your banana stands ass!
George Michael: It's just going to to back and fourth all day.
Narrator: And it did just that.
[shows a series of photos showing what happened]
Narrator: But the footage it produced was less entertaining than you might imagine, no matter what music was put behind it. It was kind of funny to "Yellow Submarine", but who could afford it?
