Trivia:

According to Chappelle, the use of sparse sets for the "Rick James" sketch was inspired by the "Family Ties" (1982) episode "Family Ties: A, My Name Is Alex: Part 2 (#5.24)" (1987).

Goofs:

Continuity: When Charlie is slapped by Rick, he lifts his head up. When the camera switches angles, Charlie lifts his head up a second time exactly as he just did in the previous shot.

Soundtrack:
