This is the first time that Will Friedle has appeared on television (not including his voice-over work) in ten years.
Eric's line "Lose one friend, lose all friends, lose yourself" is a reference to the Boy Meets World (1993) episode Seven the Hard Way (2000)
As he did in "Boy Meets World," Eric confuses the words "niche" and "niece."
In the Boy Meets World (1993) episode Seven the Hard Way (2000) Eric's name in the future is Plays With Squirrels, and he asks Mr. Feeny to call him Mr. Squirrels instead of Mr. Matthews.
During the credits scene, when looking for potential candidates to run against the disgraced Senator, as they stop on Eric's photo, the man says, "Lookee here, Chester." In the original Boy Meets World (On The Air S02 E17), Eric sends away magazines for Publisher's Clearing House, one of which is Chester magazine, a magazine for people named Chester.
