  • Josh throws Eric a going away party. Maybe Eric really is going back to "Planet Nerd" as he dreaded in the episode Eric Punches Drake!
    edit »
  • The stage manager yells "Stop it!" 16 times. edit »
  • Why would anyone get disqualified from a dance contest for fighting?
    Because just like with any physical competition, the competition can be fierce and aggressive. The no fighting rule is a standard with most sports/competitions. edit »
  • During the beginning of this episode, Josh asks anyone if they want more lime-ade. He asks Gavin first, but instead of calling him Gavin, he calls him Travis. edit »
  • This is the first time the cameras show the studio audience and this is a similarity to The Amanda Show. edit »
  • Josh is still a red vest and Helen is still working at The Premiere, but at the end of Really Big Shrimp, Josh became assisstant because Helen had to hold off at her job, so this episode might have taken place before Really Big Shrimp and it should have aired before Really Big Shrimp. edit »
  • This is Josh's 3rd time on TV and Drake's 2nd.
    The times/episodes they've been on TV is as follows - For Josh:
    - Blues Brothers
    - Theater Thug
    And For Drake:
    - Theater Thug
    edit »
  • Josh calls Mindy his "Ex-Girlfriend", but in Really Big Shrimp they got back together. edit »
  • Eric goes away to sing in Puerto Rico in this episode. However, he appears in the chronologcially last episode, "Really Big Shrimp." edit »
  • Although the moves were complex, it only took Drake and Josh three days to master the dances. edit »
  • Eric: So, uh, Josh, thanks for throwing me this... great party.
    Drake: Yeah, this is quite a party. Hope the neighbors don't call the cops on us. edit »
  • Dance Contest Host: Now welcome the pair of Drake Parker and Emily...
    (Girl runs out from backstage and hands him a card.)
    Dance Contest Host: I'm sorry. There's been a change. Please welcome the pair of Drake Parker and Josh Nichols.
    Megan and Audrey (in unison): Oh, my God! edit »
  • Josh: And look at this girl.
    Drake:Whoa, her feet are huge!
    Josh: I know. edit »
  • Drake: (looking at pictures of girls Josh put up on the wall) You're back on that internet dating service?
    Josh: No. Never again. edit »
  • Drake: Okay, well I'm outta here (Shakes Eric's hand) Craig, have a nice trip.
    Eric: I'm Eric.
    Drake: (uncaring) Okay. edit »
  • Drake has had only one friend to appear on this show. It was from the first season, and his name was Trevor. edit »
  • The ending to this episode is a copy off of Blades Of Glory, in which the main characters (Jimmy Makaroy and Chazz Michael Michaels) have to skate as the first man-man team in history. edit »
  • At the end of the episode, when Drake and Josh win, an intense fangirl of Drake comes out on the stage in this episode to kiss Drake and Josh. And, just like in the episode, "Blues Brothers", both boys say "Who is she?" edit »
