Title Explanation: "My Bed, Banter, and Beyond" probably refers to the Bed that J.D. and Elliot are in throughout the episode, the bantering J.D. and Elliot do throughout the episode, and the other places they go signifies beyond. (edit) The episode was originally 28 minutes long (DVD episode). It was cut down to 22 minutes in order to be aired on TV. (edit)

Elliot: Have you ever been more uncomfortable in your entire life?
(J.D.'s memories kick in)
Woman on TV: My God! You look hot in that dress.
J.D.'s grandmother: What movie are we watching?
J.D.: It's Basic Instinct, Grandma.
(Back to today)
J.D.: Yeah, once. (edit) J.D.'s narration: What are you doing? Elliot's amazing and you're crazy about her. If you let her leave, I'm gonna do this all day: I get knocked down but I get up again. You're never gonna keep me down. I get knocked down... (edit) J.D.: I can't believe today's over.
Elliot: I can't believe I ate half a pizza.
J.D.: Oh please, Elliot, I had, like, two pieces.
Elliot: If you tell anyone anything about today, please leave that part out. (edit) J.D.: Things that wouldn't have bothered you a week ago in a friendship become so incredibly important when sex is involved. I just...I think it'd be easier if you weren't friends with your girlfriend... At all. (edit) J.D.: Why is it impossible for you to ever let anything go?
Elliot: Oh, I let tons of stuff go; like when you wouldn't stand up for me in front of Dr. Cox. Or when you started telling everyone we know that we're having sex.
J.D.: And when are you-when are you letting that stuff go?
Elliot: Fine. You wanna know why I won't let that go? Because the only reason that you wouldn't stand up for me is that you're so terrified that someone, somewhere, in this hospital won't like you.
J.D.: Oh, and that's a bad thing? That's a bad thing, Elliot? Why don't-why don't we get all of my friends together in a room and we'll fight your friend. (edit)

In this episode Dr. Cox doesn't call J.D. any Girl Name, probably because he's too focused on the hospital psychiatrist interview. (edit) In the scene Carla is criticizing Turk's comments about one of the nurses, between the camera shifts there's another nurse seated behind her, then there isn't, then there she's again and finally there she isn't. (edit) As previously said, during the first season the Janitor was going to be a part of J.D.'s imagination and as such should never interact with the other characters. Nevertheless, once more we can perfectly see him interacting with other characters. In the beginning of this episode the Janitor not only annoys Nurse Laverne with the floor polisher machine, but J.D. and Elliot laugh about it. (edit) In the beginning of the episode, J.D. thinks of Elliot as his best friend when he wakes up and is afraid of the morning-after conversation. But actually Turk is his best friend as he states in all other series episodes. (edit) Featured Music:
"Ever Fallen in Love? (With Someone You Shouldn't've)" by the Buzzcocks.
"Tubthumping" by Chumbawamba (J.D.'s monologue) (edit)

"Maneater" by Hall & Oates:
Dr. Cox: (to psychiatrist) ...And I'm not talking about the "whoa-whoa, here she comes" kind of man-eater.

Dr. Cox is quoting the song "Maneater" by Hall & Oates. The song was recorded in 1982 and it reached the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 at the end of that year. (edit) Jägermeister:
Todd: You wanna go out some time?
Elliot: With you?
Todd: Me and a bottle of Jägermeister.

Jägermeister is a strong liqueur flavored with herbs. Its recipe is a secret, but it is claimed to be a blend of 56 herbs. Curiously, besides its use as an alcohoolic drink, it can be consumed as a digestive spirit similar to stomach bitters. (edit) ColecoVision:
Turk: When I was seven years old the only things I loved were my ColecoVision and Sandy Lowe.

The ColecoVision was a video game console released in August 1982 and discontinued in 1985. It offered arcade-quality graphics and gaming style, the ability to play other consoles' video games and the means to expand the system's hardware. (edit) Basic Instinct:
J.D.'s grandmother: What movie are we watching?
J.D.: It's Basic Instinct, Grandma.

Basic Instinct is a 1992 erotic mystery movie stared by Sharon Stone and Michael Douglas. The story follows Det. Nick Curran (Douglas) investigating the novelist Catherine Tramell (Stone) on suspicion of murder. A torrid affair ensues, but more people end up dead as the investigation progresses, making everyone a suspect of murder. (edit) Sigmund Freud:
Dr. Cox: (To the hospital's psychiatrist) Well, Sigmund...

Sigmund Freud was an Austrian neurologist and psychiatrist who co-founded the psychoanalytic school of psychology. He's best known for his theories of the unconscious mind, his redefinition of sexual desire as a mobile force to human behaviour and his therapeutic techniques - especially the presumed value of dreams as sources of insight into unconscious desires. Freud also proposed that the psyche could be divided into three parts: Ego, super-ego, and id. (edit)
