Trivia[]
- This is the first episode of the series in which Dennis doesn't appear, despite the fact that Glenn Howerton is credited during the opening credits.
- This is second time that Frank and The Waitress have sex, the first time being in the episode "Mac Bangs Dennis' Mom".
- This is the second time that Dee has shit herself (Old Lady House: A Situational Comedy). The other members of the Gang to have shit themselves are Mac (Mac Day), Frank (Frank Retires), and Charlie (Chardee MacDennis 2: Electric Boogaloo).
- Just in case you were wondering: not all racehorses are male. In fact, 3 fillies have won the Kentucky Derby: Winning Colors (1988), Genuine Risk (1980) and Regret (1915).
- Artemis' business of selling sexual health products to women with vaguely spiritual overtones is a parody of Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop company, up to and including a "crystal you put up your snatch" -- one of Goop's more notorious products is a jade egg meant to be inserted into the vagina to harness the power of the "yoni."
- As of October 2022, this is the lowest rated episode on IMDB, with a 6.6
- The scene in which Dee and others on the flight experience explosive diarrhea references a similar scene in the movie Bridesmaids. Kristin Wiig, the star of that movie, expressed a criticism of that scene that matches the point of this episode well: the scene showed how in Hollywood, "women's comedy" usually involves women just being as gross as men can be.
Continuity[]
- The flight attendant mentions he used to work at Guigino's. He dealt with the gang in that capacity in the episodes The Gang Dines Out and again in The Gang Spies Like U.S. He mentions that he "waited on you guys at the Super Bowl" -- this refers to the episode The Gang Wins the Big Game, which is scheduled to run on October 31, 2018, 6 weeks after this episode originally aired.
- Mrs Mac is put in charge of being commissioner, which is appropriate as Mac was commissioner for the original Boggs challenge. She takes the role very seriously and even pushes Dee aside to keep track; she is energetic because she has eaten 2 weeks worth of nicotine patches.
- As of this episode all five members of the Gang have had some form of erotic encounter with the Waitress: here she tries to make out with Dee as she mistakes her for Dennis, and bangs Frank a second time, slept with Charlie in 12x10, slept with Dennis in 1x04, and did hand stuff (at least) with Mac in 4x04.
