The argument between Barry and Fuchs at the beginning of the episode mirrors the argument between Sally and Sam in the previous episode. Fuchs and Sam even say the same thing after being called out for their betrayals: "everyone's the hero of their own story!"
Fuches can be heard saying the signature King of The Hill Dautrieve 'ninin' out of frustration when the lantern goes out. Dautrieve was voiced by Stephen Root who plays Fuches.
Bill Hader won an Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for this episode.
