Trivia:

The "guy" in question is revealed to have a very active online habit, including posting to Television Without Pity.com. In real life, Gregory Thomas Garcia (creator of _"My Name Is Earl" (2005)_) had been posting in the forums at TWoP as this character months before the show aired, and in fact posted his line the night before the episode aired. The following day Joy and Crabman made posts under his user-name WhoJackie.

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: In the funeral house, when the Funeral Director sets-up the Vietnam style scene, you can clearly see that the "corpse" is breathing.

Quotes:

Earl: The computers talkin' to me, it called me Big Dog.
Joy: It's not the computer talkin', It's somebody in the wide wide world of web.
