  • When Elaine is talking to Jerry about her missing her 4 o'clock sugar rush, the telephone cord switches from being under her arm to over. edit »
  • When Jerry is talking to Elaine about thinking of breaking up with his girlfriend, Elaine is eating a cookie saying is the 4 o´clock dosis or whatever. Then Jerry says he will call his girlfriend to break up and Elaine tells him that those days are over and that he should go over to her place and break up with her in person. He says he´s afraid of the killer and Elaine says is still daylight.
    When Jerry finishes breaking up with his girlfriend he asks "what time is it?" and she says "9". He then asks "We´ve been breaking up for 10 hours?". If so, he would´ve had to be there since 11 am, but it was around 4 pm when Elaine told him to go, so it´s inaccurate. edit »
  • When Slippery Pete, Shlomo, and Kramer are standing outside playing Frogger, the sign behind them says "Mario's Pizza"; however, earlier in the episode, when George and Jerry went in for their last slice, the sign outside read "Fine Roses Pizza". edit »
  • Though George's Frogger high score is stated to be 860,000 points, the verified world record as of 2005, 7 years after this episode aired, was actually still less than 600,000 points. edit »
  • The renegade electrician that George hires is named "Slippery Pete". In Season 9's "The Wizard," George lies to Susan's parents, saying that he'd bought a house in the Hamptons. According to the story he told them, he has two horses, one of which is named "Prickly Pete". edit »
  • This is the second time the show mentions carrot cake. Jerry said he hate it in The Dinner Party. "You don't make a carrot into a cake, I'm sorry." edit »
  • Jerry: (receiving an ugly new hat) Why don't you put it in the car so I don't accidentally toss it in that dumpster. edit »
  • Elaine: Guess what I ate!
    George: An ostrich burger?
    Elaine: No, a $29,000 piece of cake. Peterman got it at the Duke and Duchess of Windsor auction. It's the most romantic thing I've ever eaten edit »
  • Jerry: She's a sentence finisher. It's like dating Mad Libs. edit »
  • George: Well, I'm doing it Jerry. I'm buying that Frogger machine. Now the torch will burn forever!
    Jerry: Fabulous! See, now you're really doing something. edit »
  • George: (on his gaming skills) Oh, I was unstoppable! Perfect combination of Mountain Dew and mozzarella, with just the right amount of grease on the joystick. edit »

    When George is trying to cross the street with the Frogger game, the scene actually parodies the game. edit »
