Joey: Dad, you saw the show? You heard all those jokes I made about you, huh? Colonel Gladstone: Some of them were actually funny. Joey: You laughed? Colonel Gladstone: I will...later.
Colonel Gladstone: I thought about what you said. Even though your mother and I were divorced, I should have been around more when you were growing up. Joseph, it wasn't easy being stationed in some God forsaken country and getting monthly reports that you were "goofing off" and "showing a complete lack of disipline." When I came home, I thought you needed structure and authority, not a pal. Joey: I could have used a pal. Colonel Gladstone: Me too. I think we could have been great buddies. After all, you do have my sense of humor. Joey: Uh, no disrespect intended, Dad, but you aren't exactly Mr. Funny Pants. Colonel Gladstone: That's not true. Don't you remember when you were three and had chicken pox? We watched cartoons for two weeks. Joey: You watched cartoons? Colonel Gladstone: Who do you think taught you how to do Popeye?
Colonel Gladstone: Nice to meet you son. Put on a tie. Jesse: Nice to meet you, sir. No.
Michelle: Joey's opening a fig newton in Vegas....and the chimps have lice! Stephanie: I think you're a little mixed up. Michelle: I'm a lot mixed up.
We learn that Colonel Gladstone is the one that taught Joey how to do his Popeye impression.
This is the only season 4 episode not to feature Rebecca in any way.
This episode marks the family's second visit to a city with lots of casinos, only this time, without Rebecca or Michelle.
While trying to reach Colonel Gladstone and get him to appear at Joey's act, Stephanie and D.J. pose as Joey's "secretaries", Janet Abdul (D.J.; named after singers Janet Jackson and Paula Abdul) and Barbie Dollenbare (Stephanie; named after a Barbie doll and a stuffed bear).
Show Title:: "Viva Las Joey"
A play on the Elvis song titled: "Viva Las Vegas". We actually hear Jesse mention this song over the seasons because of his Elvis obsession.
