Music:

The Scooby Gang is walking in the school -- "Blaze" by Mad Cow
Giles and Joyce are listening to a record -- "Tales Of Brave Ulysses" by Cream
At the Bronze, 'Dingoes Ate My Baby' perform this song -- "Violent" by Four Star Mary
At the Bronze, while Oz, Buffy and Willow are talking -- "Slip Jimmy" by Every Bit Of Nothing
The adults sing on stage -- "Louie Louie" by The Kingsmen (edit) The accent which Anthony Stewart Head uses when Giles reverts to his teenage self, is much closer to his "street" accent than his stalwart, proper onscreen accent as regular Giles. (edit) The tattoo of Eyghon's symbol mentioned in 'Dark Age' is visible on Giles's arm, further reminding us of what Ripper was like at that age. (edit) Giles's apartment has changed in this episode. There is now a courtyard outside of Giles's apartment where there once were stairs. (edit) During study hall, when Willow and Xander are playing footsies under the table, both are wearing the same Adidas shoes except that Willow's are orange and Xander's are black. Willow is also wearing an orange sweater and Xander is in all black. (edit)

Angel: It's late. How'd you get away?
Buffy: Aw, it was easy. Started a fire in the prison laundry room, rode out in the garbage truck.
Angel: Oh. (edit) Willow: This is not normal. Well, maybe that goes without saying.
Snyder: Hey! Gang! This place is fun city, huh?!
Buffy: Principal Snyder?!
Snyder: Call me Snyder. Just the last name, like Barbarino. Oh, I am so stoked! Hey! Did you see Miss Barton? I think she's wasted. I'm gonna have to put that in her next performance review 'cause... 'cause I'm the principal! (leaves)
Willow: I don't like this. They could have heart attacks!
Buffy: Well, maybe there's a doctor here.
Willow: (referring to the half-dressed man on-stage) I think that is my doctor. He's usually less topless.
Snyder: (reappears) I got a commendation for being the principal, from the mayor. Shook my hand, twice!
Buffy: That's nice!
Snyder: Whoa! There are some foxy ladies here tonight!
Willow: What's happening?
Buffy: I don't know, but it's happened to a whole lot of grown-ups.
Willow: They're acting like a bunch of--
Buffy: They're acting like a bunch of us!
Willow: (indignant) I don't act like this. (edit) Snyder: The big pee-head librarian didn't show up and I don't wanna do it. You do it.
Substitute: All right, fine, I'll do it! (leaves Snyder)
Snyder: Everyone expects me to do everything around here because I'm the principal. (whiny) It's not fair! (edit) Giles: I say, your car seems to have had an adventure, doesn't it?
Joyce: Buffy assures me that it happened battling evil, so I'm letting her pay for it on the installment plan.
Buffy: Hey, the way things were going, be glad that's the worst that happened. At least I got to the two of you before you actually did something.
Joyce: Right.
Giles: Indeed
Joyce: Yes. (edit) Snyder: You look like four young people with too much time on your hands
Oz: Not really.
Cordelia: Busy like a bee actually. Bee-like. (edit)

One of Cordelia's homecoming queen flyers (left over from last episode) is hanging in Xander's locker. (edit) It seems odd that Willow, being the type of person she is, didn't say anything about Buffy driving without a license. (edit) When Buffy, Giles, and Ethan are running through the box labyrinth, you can tell that it's the same aisle of boxes used over and over again (with the exception of the last time they are running and Buffy smashes the box containing Ethan open). There is a yellow half-a-box on the top right (our right) and a yellow line half way through the aisle every time they are running. (edit) The scene when both Joyce and Giles are lecturing Buffy if you notice Joyce's sweater around her neck it moves continuously throughout the scene without her moving it. (edit) When Buffy, Willow and Oz are at the bottom of the stairs you can see two cheerleaders walking towards the school building, but when Xander and Cordeila join them in the next shot, they are walking in the complete opposite direction. (edit)

Visual: Kiss Rocks
The vandalism on the lockers. Kiss is a rock band that is best known for the elaborate makeup and costumes they used to wear in their stage show. The height of their popularity was in the mid to late 1970s. (edit) Snyder: I took Tae Kwon Do at the Y.
Tae Kwon Do is a Korean form of martial arts. Sarah Michelle Gellar is actually skilled in Tae Kwon Do in real life. (edit) Joyce: Very Juice Newton.
Juice Newton is a country-western singer. (edit) Snyder: Call me Snyder ... just a last name ... like Barbarino.
Vinnie Barbarino was John Travolta's character in the 70's sitcom Welcome Back, Kotter. (edit) Buffy: Let's do the time warp again.
Buffy uses a line from The Rocky Horror Picture Show song to indicate her confusion at all the adults acting like drunken, rowdy teens.

This may be an inside joke on Anthony Stewart Head (Giles) who played the lead character in a London stage version of Rocky Horror. (edit)
