First episode to credit the supporting cast members right after the opening credit sequence.
During the talking head scene where Michael is explaining why he spent so much on magic items, you can see the fake thumb on his hand. It seems he was going to use the prop but it got cut from the final edit.
When Michael tells Jim "my lips are sealed" about keeping the secret, he sings the titular line from the song "My Lips Are Sealed" and says The Bangles, even though the song is actually done by The Go-Go's.
When the waitress comes to the table Micheal says "we're not worthy" a Wayne's World reference. The waitress's nametag is "Dana" and Dana Carvey played Garth in Wayne's World.
