Towards the end of the episode Carla catapults a cup of coffee onto Ted. Ted is shown drenched in the coffee, the camera cuts back to Carla and Dr. Cox, then about two seconds later the camera cuts back to Ted who is now completely dry. edit »
J.D. says he took Stacy out to see "Schindler's List" in college. "Schindler's List" came out in 1994, so they must've seen it as either sophomores or juniors in college.

On the other hand, Turk says he was 17 when Michael Jordan retired (1993). edit »
Snoop Dogg Intern makes a return, although now he's Snoop Dogg Resident. His first and last speaking appearance was in Season 3, Episode 13: "My Porcelain God". edit »
J.D.'s suspicion about Turk and J.D.'s ex-girlfriend Stacy from college was first brought up in the episode "My Coffee, where Turk denied the accusations saying that he and Stacy had a water-balloon fight and they took off their clothes because they were wet.
In this episode J.D. brings up the incident again, and at the end Turk confesses to it being true. edit »

Turk: Look, man, we all have those bleak moments where we swear we'll never bounce back...like when I was 17, my mom walked in my room with a look that I've never seen. She said: "It's over, Turk. Michael Jordan's career is over."
Dr. Cox: Is anyone a bigger idiot than you?
J.D.: Is he the black golfer? edit »
Private Dancer: Look, Elliot. I appreciate what you're trying to do, but none of you guys have any idea what it's like to feel this hopeless in your life. Y'know, other than J.D.
(Chorus of agreement)
J.D.: Wait, whoa whoa whoa, wait. What's happening? edit »
(After Carla tells a bad joke)
Dr. Cox: You would hear crickets chirping, but they were too uncomfortable about just how unfunny that actually was.
Carla: So what, I'm not funny?
Dr. Cox: Why, I think you're very funny...WHEN you're being sarcastic or you're up on your high horse. You know, as long as you stay right in your wheel house. And it's no different for any of us. Barbie is funniest when she's an anal retentive train wreck, your husband sells it with a cocky attitude.
Turk: Yeah, ya know, I do what I do when I do what I do.
Dr. Cox: The janitor is amusing because quite frankly he's insane.
Janitor: I made shoes for my rabbit.
Dr. Cox: And Alice here, she can turn a phrase. I assume that because I just called you Alice, that you're now fantasizing about me being the maid in the Brady bunch... (Appears as Alice from the Brady Bunch) Am I right?
J.D.'s narration: He was.
Dr. Cox: Now sadly, some people just aren't funny, BUT...they have funny names. For example: Dr. Beardface, Dr. Mickhead, Colonel Doctor and Snoop Dogg Intern.
Snoop Dogg Resident: Hey, hey.
Dr. Cox: My bad, Snoop Dog Resident. The Todd is a sexual deviant, Laverne believes in God, which is hilarious to me, and Ted is the hospital sad sack.
Ted: I am?
Dr. Cox: Yes.
Ted: Awwwwww.
Dr Cox: And me, well, I'm funny because I commit. C-O-M-M-I-T-T-T-T-T- (mimes sipping a cup of tea)...T, I also do, uh, funny rants. To tell you the truth, there is only one guy in this entire DUMP who is funny no matter WHAT he says.
Dr. Kelso: Holy hell, are my new boxers made of wool? Because my weasel's getting heat stroke!
Dr. Cox: The point is, please, don't tell any more jokes.
Ted: I'm not a sad sack, am I?
Carla: Ted, your pen exploded.
Ted: (Looks at shirt) Awwwwwwwww. (Looks at blue hand) Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. edit »
J.D.: See, I went with a younger picture because I like the father-son motif...that is taken seconds after I won the watermelon seed spitting contest at my theatre camp...probably my happiest day as a teenager.
Dr. Cox: That is both very sad and not the least bit shocking. edit »
Goldfish: Come on buddy, get it together. How you doing. The name's Roger Dorsey.
Janitor: Well, that's not real. I'm starting to lose it.
Goldfish: How do you know I'm not real?
Janitor: Well, for one thing, you're just using my voice only slightly higher. Like this: (Higher voice) How you doing buddy?
Goldfish: Oh yeah, well, if I wasn't real, could I hit this note? (Singing) Ahhhhhhh.
Janitor: That was lovely. edit »

J.D. says he saw "Schindler's List" with his girlfriend Stacy in college.

"Schindler's List" is a movie about the man who saved thousands of Jews from Hitler's mass murder plan. edit »
J.D.: Bitches leave!

As J.D. and Turk explained they were playing a movie quote game and this was from the movie Robocop, said by the villian, Clarence Bodicker (played by Kurtwood Smith). edit »
In J.D.'s version of Turk sleeping with his college girlfriend, Turk is seen with a giant clock as a necklace and he says "Boyeeeeee". This is a reference to Flavor Flav, a rapper and more recently TV star. Flavor Flav is the founding member of the politically conscious hip-hop group Public Enemy. edit »
