Trivia

This episode's credits music is the "Balls in the Air" song from Steve Holt (Justin Grant Wade) and Michael (Jason Bateman)'s training session. The song is a parody of rock songs from the 1980s such as "Eye of the Tiger," which were prominent in movie montages at the time.

Goofs

In the scene where George Michael is about to join the army by hanging from the monkey bars, Michael grabs the clipboard from Buster, taking Buster's hook with him. When the camera backs away, we see the hook is reattached to Buster's arm.
