[edit] Trivia
- Fake Special Thanks: Jan Terri
- DVD Commentary: Bob Odenkirk (as himself and as Fat Tommy, a high-pitched fat kid), David Cross, Scott Aukerman, B.J. Porter, Eric Hoffman, Jerry Minor (as himself and as Blind Willy Lester, a blind ventriloquist blues musician), Jay Johnston, Brian Posehn, Jill Talley
- In the sketch "Psychic Emergency Hotline", one of David's arms is fake so that he can hold his throat in order to talk in that Barry White-esque voice. David did this voice for another character in the earlier episode "We Regret to Inform You."
- During the DVD commentary, Bob and David mentioned that they had originally wanted to get rapper Flava Flav to play the part of the rapper in the "Monk Academy" sketch. Part of the joke was that the rapper would lose to Bob's character, even though Bob was terrible at rapping. Flava Flav responded saying that he was interested in the role, but he would only do it if he won the rap battle. This change would ruin the entire story, joke, and episode; so Sam Sarpong was used instead of Flava Flav.
- At the end of the "Monk Academy" sketch, there is a short cameo of Jon Cryer (aka "Duckie" from Pretty in Pink) driving up in a convertible with "Mr. Bubbles" the monkey in the backseat.
