TriviaEdit

• The "Cougarton Abbey" title card bit is a reference to the Season Three Community premiere, where Abed discovered that Cougar Town is an adaptation of a 1990s (fictitious) British sitcom, Cougarton Abbey. However, Cougarton Abbey only ran for six episodes before being cancelled.[1]
• Courteney Cox's real-life daughter Coco Riley Arquette has a small cameo as a little girl eating chocolate ice cream while passing by Andy and Bobby.
• To decide who's messier, Jules and Bobby initiate the "white shirt challenge": first one to have a stain on their shirt looses, no napkins, no mercy. Bobby wins after Grayson accidentally spills a glass of red wine on Jules.
• Jules hates using sounds in place of words.
• To discover who is "better at sex", Ellie and Laurie comply lists of sexual partners, find a common partner and ask him who was better. The common partner was Vincent "Vinny" Hawthorne, who awarded the title to Ellie because of her spontaneity.
• "Cake walk" now means something really difficult.
• Grayson and others begin walking a lap around the house when upset.
