Phyllis Smith (Phyllis Smith) makes a brief credited appearance as "Carla" during the office meeting, but has no lines. Within several weeks of this episode's original air date, she would begin appearing regularly in NBC's The Office (2005).
The photo Gob (Will Arnett) briefly shows of Michael (Jason Bateman) in George Michael (Michael Cera)'s campaign video is just a screen shot from #2.7 Switch Hitter (2005). The shot appears just after George Michael suggests recruiting Ann (Mae Whitman) for softball.
The rapid-fire images from George Michael (Michael Cera)'s campaign video were:
- 1) A spoon of white powder and a hypodermic syringe.
- 2) A pentagram.
- 3) A Klansman and a burning cross.
- 4) A dark, raptorial bird in a tree.
- 5) A saluting Nazi.
- 6) Mr. Bananagrabber.
- 7) A five-pointed star drawn in blood.
The voice of Ron Howard can be heard off-screen shouting about someone using the bathroom set, though not as the "narrator" (presumably a guest director on the show Wrench).
