James 'Gypsy' Haake replaced Divine who was originally cast to play the role of the transvestite Uncle Otto, but died shortly before filming began.
According to Michael G. Moye, the name Bundy came from (at the time) well-known World Wrestling Federation villain King Kong Bundy, who had challenged Hulk Hogan for the World Title at Wrestlemania II. He later made an appearance as one of Peg's hillbilly cousins. The name "Bundy" did not came from infamous serial killer Ted Bundy. King Kong Bundy also appears in a later episode as himself, wrestling Bud in a match on a televised wrestling show called "Wrestlepalooza." Bud ends up there because Al has asked him to get King Kong's autograph. Bud is trying to become a member of "NO MA'AM," so his task to gain membership is to get the autograph from King Kong Bundy. King Kong Bundy also appeared as Peg's Uncle Irwin.
