Trivia[]

This is the third episode to introduce a prominent member of the Cuyler family since both Dr. Bug and Shannon Cuyler.
Early calls Granny's gray truck nut a "pointless fad", which would most likely be a parody and stereotype of a useless fad.
Lil mentions that "you know them guys don't like condoms", which indicates she had sex with another man (possibly another squid), who is never seen nor mentioned in the episode, and gave birth to the children seen in the episode when she talks to Early.
Al-Qaeda is a reference to a real-world Muslim group from Afghanistan.
- This is the very first episode of the series to have references to this Muslim group in particular. Al-Qaeda is later referenced in the episodes "The Okaleechee Dam Jam", "Fatal Distraction", and "America: Why I Love Her". The latter episode has the Al-Qaeda's appear as characters.
A yellow can of Glug is seen in this episode, which Herschel stabs and drinks.
Early's mugshots from "Terminus Trouble", including the squid hat that he wore in that episode, are seen next to Herschel's, which both are wanted by the Dougal County PD.
- Herschel is labeled "Unknown assailant".
Early gives Herschel dip from the show's intro.
This is the very first episode of the show to feature references to the Georgia Bulldogs and the Florida Gators as the latter was obviously referenced by Early's "Gator Hater" hat, which Herschel wears.
This marks the second time Early has been hit or injured by the train, with the first being in "School Days, Fool Days".
This is the first time that Early's tentacles/limbs have be replaced in a episode. In this case, wooden tree branches. He also got a disability check, which he can buy a wheelchair with, but he instead lets Rusty get him a inflatable rocking Santa Claus in a bubble globe instead. He has to put it next to a trampoline in the yard right next to a Elvis rocker jukebox.
The monkey next to Herschel in Early's first fantasy is wearing a "co-pilot" hat.
