    • Trivia
      This was said, by the cast members of the dinner party, to be the hardest episode to film, due to laughter.
    • Goofs
      Michael, Jim, and Andy go into the garage and Michael says, "Have a hand," referring to the plastic chairs that look like hands, Jim and Andy take a seat and Jim goes back and forth from mostly having his arms out, giving the impression that he's cold because he's shaking his arms, to having his arms crossed. It goes from a shot of having his arms crossed and then in the next shot he has his arms out.
    • Quotes

      Michael Scott: When I said that I wanted to have kids, and you said you wanted me to have a vasectomy, what did I do? And then, when you said that you might want to have kids, and I wasn't so sure, who had the vasectomy reversed? And then when you said you definitely didn't want to have kids? Who had it reversed back? Snip, snap! Snip, snap! Snip, snap! I did! You have no idea the physical toll that three vasectomies have on a person!
