Joey tells Carmen that he still uses her 1998 Baywatch calendar and that he has missed Christmas for the last four years in a row. In Joey and the Plot Twist they celebrated Christmas and Joey was absolutely aware and excited.
Nitpick: Joey says at the beginning of the episode that he has dated women from all over the world except for Iceland, and is pleased to discover in the end that Sara is part Icelandic. But when he takes a map right after this discovery with red pins for each country from which he's ever dated a woman, we can see that Iceland already has a red pin.
Goof: Near the middle of the episode, while Joey, Alex and Gina are in Joey's apartment discussing Alex's issue, we see Alex sitting with a yellow shirt with a folded sleeve, when the camera position changes the sleeve is not folded, then on the third view when Alex is standing up the sleeve is again folded.
Bobbie: Oh sure. Alert: All writers and directors: Joey Tribbiani is in a relationship. Let's stop Hollywood. (laughs) Exclusive! You big jackass.
Gina: So, did you talk to Eric? Joey: Yeah, he's going to tell Alex but he wants to wait until the right time. Gina: Well, he better be nice to Shirley. (Joey looks questioningly at Gina) Gina: Oh, I think of her as Shirley and me Laverne.
Michael: What are you doing? Joey: Well, this whole thing with Alex and Eric has got me thinking, you know, things are going so great with me and Sara that I don't want to mess up and sleep with someone else. So you know what I'm going to do? Michael: Become a different person? Joey: No, no. I'm calling all the girls I used to go out with and letting them know that I am know unavailable. All right, let's see who's next.
Gina: Oh good, you're up. You can settle this. Which one of us is the bigger pain in the ass? Joey: Gina, I don't have time for this. I have a big problem. Gina: Just pick one! Joey: Fine. Gina, you are the bigger pain in the ass. Gina: (to Michael) Told ya.
Carmen: I've had a crush on you for the longest time. Joey: Me too. I still use your 1998 Baywatch calendar 'cause it's so hot. I've missed Christmas for the last four years in a row, but it's overrated anyway.
Joey: Oh, Michael, Michael, you regular people are so naïve. I have been in seventy-five love scenes in my career. Now do you know how many times that's led to actual sex? Michael: Seventy-five? Joey: Two hundred and forty-four!
Joey: (about Eric) Oh yeah, he's pretty scared of me. He thinks we're in the mafia. Michael: Just because we're Italian? Joey: No, because Gina told him we were.
Although she is apparently playing herself, in real life Carmen Electra is married to guitarist Dave Navarro.
Originally scheduled to air April 28, postponed due to a George W. Bush press conference. It did air as scheduled in some places around the world though.
Carmen Electra says that she is a huge Days of Our Lives fan, and that she loves Drake Ramoray. Joey played Dr. Drake Ramoray on DOOL in various episodes of Friends. Between the end of Friends and the beginning of Joey, his character was killed off again and he moved to Hollywood. Days of Our Lives is one of the most successful and longest running soap operas. It has been on nearly every week day since 1965, and has aired over 11,000 episodes.
At one point Joey calls to tells the Hawaiian Tropic ladies that he is off the market. Hawaiian Tropic is a leading brand of suntan lotion used around the world, a lead competitor to Coppertone. Every year they host a bikini competition, Miss Hawaiian Tropic, to select a spokesmodel for their product. This usually leads to international fame for the model.
Gina says that she thinks of Alex as Shirley to her Laverne. Laverne & Shirley was hit sitcom starring Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams. It was as spin off from the show Happy Days and ran from 1976 to 1983. It revolved around the friendship and lives of the titular best friends.
Sara says that she'll call all her old flames too, and then mentions that fortunately the Tennessee Titans are all in training camp. The Tennessee Titans are a professional football team based in Nashville. They were previously known as the Houston Oilers before the transfer. For two years they were known as the Tennessee Oilers but then changed their names to the Titans.
Joey says that he still uses Carmen Electra's 1998 Baywatch calendar because it is so hot. Baywatch was once the most watched show on the planet, about a group of beach life guards and their adventures and dramas. A large portion of Carmen Electra's success and fame is due to her role on that show.
When Gina is cutting up the ties, she says 'Look at me, I'm Annie Hall'. Annie Hall is a movie by Woody Allen starring Diane Keaton. Annie Hall wore many ties in the movie, a style and reputation that has followed Keaton for her entire career.
At the beginning of the episode, Gina (Drea De Matteo) mentions that the reason Alex's husband is scared of the Tribbianis is because she told him they were in the mafia. De Matteo's breakout role was as Adriana La Cerva on the mafia-drama The Sopranos.
