Goof: When Keith and Will are trying to see who is more funny Kieth says that jokes are what your Uncle Lou tells at a wedding. Will doesn't have an uncle named Lou. That's his father's name. edit »
Goof: When Philip and the kids are in the family room doing the forced bonding there was classical music playing in the background. When they decide they can't take the forced family moment anymore, the music just suddenly stops, even though no one went to turn it off or used a remote to turn it off. edit »

Will: Come on, Uncle Phil, if you let Keith stay...I'll quit calling 976 numbers on your car phone...okay, I'll take you out to Chuck E. Cheese and tell the head rat it's your birthday...I'll go to an out of state college.
Philip: Keith my boy! edit »
Will: I bet Sinbad's parents supported him, when he wanted to be a comedian.
Philip: They named him Sinbad! He had two options: pirate or comic! edit »
Keith: White people get to do things black people don't get to do. Elvis been dead 15 years, people still see him. You never hear somebody say 'I just saw Marvin Gaye! He was at the MALL! Well you know I heard it through the grapevine!' edit »
Keith: Black parents and white parents are just different, no better no worse, like Poltergeist. Little white girl gets trapped in the TV the mom's all hysterics crying 'ahhhhhhhh! Carolyn's in the TV what' we gonna do?' You know if that had been a black mama she would've been proud, she'd call her friends 'Girl! Turn to channel 2, my baby's on TV!' edit »
Keith: Black people and white people are just different, no better no worse. You see a white guy in the unemployment line going '$210 a week? How the hell am I gonna live on $210 a week?' There'll be a brother behind him, '$210 a week?! For nothing? Baby get the kids we done come up!' edit »

Will: Knock, knock. Phil: Who's there? Will: Amy Fisher Phil: Amy... Will: BANG!
Amy Fisher , a.k.a. Long Island Lolita, , shot Mary Jo Buttafuoco in the head in 1992. At the time, Amy was having having an affair with Mrs Buttafuoco's husband, Joey Buttafuoco, which he denies. Amy Fisher's story has been made in two TV movies. edit »
Title: Ain't No Business Like Show Business
This title is a paraphrase of the 1954 movie There's No Business Like Show Business starring Ethel Merman and Donald O'Connor as well as the song of the same title from the Broadway musical Annie Get Your Gun in which Ethel Merman starred. edit »
