Trivia:

When Dave is timing Bret's ability to hold up both middle fingers, he clocks him at 1 minute, 32 seconds. If you count on your fingers in binary, the pattern formed by holding up both middle fingers (00100 00100) equals 132 in decimal.

Goofs:

Errors in geography: Bret, Jemaine and the fruit vendor go to the Australian Embassy in NYC. The Australian Consulate-General is in NYC, while the embassy is in Washington DC.

Quotes:

Sinjay:You can have fruit from the New Zealand section.
Jemaine:There's a dog in that section.
Sinjay:Yeah, well, it's for dogs from America and people from New Zealand.
