Rating: 4.1/6 (edit) Gob yet again acts out his insulting chicken dance move, a reference to several past episodes, including one where he was arrested for the act. (edit) The baseball game is being played at Milford Park. The Bluth children attended the Milford Academy ("Public Relations", "Afternoon Delight"). (edit) Early in the episode, Gob shows that he decides to keep his "Come on!" outburst bit from his $12,000 suit days. (edit) In "Best Man for the Gob," Tobias says that Teamocil had been discontinued. (Apparently, the problem of "complete pituitary shutdown" has been solved.) (edit)

Tobias: No, I can't... I have an audition tomorrow. I'm up for a minor, but meaty role in a feature film: Confidence Man 2.
Gob: Oh yeah? I didn't see the first Confidence Man.
Tobias: No... 'Confidence Man 2' is my character. (edit) Gob: One of this guy's eyebrows just fell in the bowl of candy beans.
Sitwell: I always carry a spare.
Gob: Well I hope you also carry a spare bowl of candy beans! (edit) Sitwell: The only thing I ask is out of the four hundred and fifty homes we build, one be given to a disadvantaged family from the inner city.
Gob: That's great, so the other 449 families live in fear? Is that what we're saying? Come on! (edit) Michael: (about Sitwell) He happens to be a very modest and generous man.
Lucille: Modest and generous? Then why is he always waving giant ten million dollar checks over his head every time some...
Michael: Go ahead, Mom, finish your thought. Every time some children's hospital needs funding?
Lucille: Nonetheless. (edit) Lucille: I've done everything I can. I even tried to convince them he's [Buster] gay, but no one would believe that a woman like me would have a gay son.
Michael: Well you certainly tried. You guys wore matching outfits until he was twelve. (edit)

Buster's Drill Sergeant has his uniform sleeves rolled up using the Marine Corps method not the Army method. (edit) Lucille sings the Petula Clark song "Downtown" in the Vietnam flashback and also in the General's office. (edit) More members of popular comedic ensembles in this episode as Andy Richter (of "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" and "Andy Richter Controls the Universe") and Jeff Garlin ("Curb Your Enthusiasm") appear here, joining other such noteworthy performers from the casts of SNL, UCB, KITH, Ben Stiller Show, MadTV, Reno 911, and Christopher Guest movies. (edit) Ed Begley Jr. is the fourth member of Christopher Guest's comedy ensemble to appear on "AD." He follows Michael Hitchcock, Jane Lynch, and John Michael Higgins. He appeared in Guest's "A Mighty Wind," "Best in Show," and the Guest penned, Rob Reiner directed classic "This is Spinal Tap." (edit) When Tobias and Maeby arrive at the movie studio, they drive under a banner proclaiming Homeless Dad to be America's #3 comedy. This was the "rigidly formulaic popcorn movie" being filmed by Thomas Jane in "The One Where They Build a House". (edit)

Maeby suggests Jude Law for her script, Old Man and the Sea.
Old Man and the Sea is an Ernest Hemmingway novel. Jude Law is a British actor who has starred in such films as The Holiday, The Aviator, AI, The Talented Mr. Ripley, etc. (edit) Buster marches with the drill sergeant in his face like the opening credits of "Gomer Pyle, USMC". He has a goofy look on his face, but does not stick his tongue in and out like Gomer. The sequence is brief, due to Buster being moved from combat training to USO duty. (edit)
