TRIVIA

The strippers that Gob introduces are named Barbara and Dee. These were the names of two of Michael's past girlfriends seen in the episode "Forget Me Now".
While he and Maeby are watching a screening for their studio's new horror film, Mort comments that the monster "looks like ALF". We then hear a character in the film say "That's the creature that ate our cat!" The alien sitcom character ALF was well known for wanting to eat the family cat.
