Trivia
Sarah Silverman expressed regret for making this episode, stating in an interview in GQ, "I don't stand by the blackface sketch. I'm horrified by it, and I can't erase it. I can only be changed by it and move on." This episode was quietly removed from streaming services and video services.

Goofs
The cannabis that Brian and Steve pick up at the weed store is shown to be Indica, which is a different strain than street weed, which is more commonly the Sativa strain. When they smoke it they feel extremely high and hallucinating, but the The Cannabis Indica high is often referred to as a "body buzz" and has beneficial properties such as pain relief in addition to being an effective treatment for insomnia and an anxiolytic, as opposed to Sativa's more common reports of a "spacey" and mental inebriation, and even, albeit rarely, comprising hallucinations.

Quotes
Sarah Silverman: I'm the victim of a hate crime. It's true. The lady at the country club wouldn't let me play tennis because I'm Jewish.
Officer Jay McPherson: What?
Sarah Silverman: She was like, "What's your name? Silverman?... Get out Jew".
Laura Silverman: She said that?
Sarah Silverman: Yeah. Basically. With her eyes.
