In scene after J.D finds out that the boyfriend has Gonorrhea, his injury above his right eye vanishes. edit »

The scene where J.D. and Turk are stretching before playing basketball was longer, involving a plan J.D has to make himself appear as a great basketball player to the other doctors. The scene was split into two, and the part where J.D. goes through his plan with Turk is used in episode My Changing Ways. In the Season Four DVD bonus features, under Alternate Lines, you can see the whole scene as it was before they split it. edit »
Donald Faison says in his interview on the special features that he used to have to get Zach Braff into nightclubs, because Zach wasn't cool enough, similar to the situation Turk and J.D. find themselves in in this episode. edit »
The actual score of the Heat-Lakers game was 102-89, Miami. edit »
The original broadcast of this episode scored a 5.5/8 rating. edit »
The Lakers-Heat game that Dr.Cox tapes & has spoiled is fictional (unless the writers are psychic and the March 17 game ends 98-97 with Kobe dunking over Shaq). edit »

J.D.: What are you doing here?
Kylie: My girlfriend Tamyra, from the club? She's also feeling a little sick, and you'll never guess what she has.
J.D.: Gonorrhea! I mean... gonorrhea. edit »
J.D.: Hey, Kylie, there you are.
Kylie: Hey! J.D.!
J.D.'s Narration: This is your moment! Grab it! Listen, Kylie... Out loud, you idiot! Out loud! edit »
Dr. Kelso: What the hell are you doing?
Turk: I get to have sex!
Dr. Kelso: I hate this place. edit »
Elliot: Did... did you just call me a colleague?
Dr. Kelso: I did. But I hate my colleagues. edit »
Turk: Dude! You can't tell her! They won't let you be a doctor anymore!
J.D.: Who cares! I'd make more money bartending!
Carla: Turk! If we leave right now, I might actually be awake for sex tonight. Just go get my coat... You owe me. edit »

The way the Janitor talks to Dr. Cox after he has threatened all the interns not to tell the game score is a clear reference to James Bond villain: Ernst Stavro Blofeld. The way the Janitor seats and holds his "pet" resembles this fictional character. It can also be related to Dr. Evil from the Austin Powers movies. edit »
Snoop Dogg:

Turk's use of the suffix "-izzle" during the third attempt to get J.D. into the club is a reference to rapper Snoop Dogg, who started the trend. edit »
Flavor Flav

In the 2nd flashback of J.D. and Turk trying to get into the "African-American" club, J.D. is wearing a giant clock necklace which is a trademark item worn by Flavor Flav. Flav had a show similar to The Bachelor on VH1 called Flavor of Love. edit »
MC Hammer:
J.D.'s appearance infront of the first nightclub and him saying "You can't touch me" is an allusion to MC Hammer and his most successful single "U Can't Touch This". edit »
