Trivia
When Michael (Jason Bateman) is confronting George Sr. (Jeffrey Tambor) about lying to him and George Sr. denies it, Michael retorts: "Great performance, Dad. You're a regular Brad Garrett." Jeffrey Tambor had just lost the 2005 Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series Emmy to Brad Garrett, the second year in a row he had lost out to Garrett.

Goofs
As Michael is being pursued by the foul mouthed British man, his (the British man's) car swerves toward the stair car, and then away. As the car swerves, the front tires do not move at all, but the car moves anyway.

Quotes
Lucille Bluth: And guess what else is back?
[Lucille winks]
Michael Bluth: My breakfast?
Lucille Bluth: My friskiness. Mama horny, Michael.
Michael Bluth: No, it's my breakfast. I'm amazed Dad hasn't strangled himself with his belt yet.
Lucille Bluth: Oh, we're into all kinds of freaky stuff.
Michael Bluth: Why do I eat breakfast before I come here?

do you love Americans doing Australian accents thinking they sound British?

Wow , how do I sum up this episode, it has every painfully bad stereotypes about British people in 50 minutes and it even has Americans doing Australian accents.

I just hope this is ironic and done tongue in cheek as its quite painful to watch.

The series as a whole is weirdly amusing , this is just weird.
