Ken Davitan plays a convenience store clerk who gets robbed at the end of the pilot. One of the robbers disparagingly refers to him as "Borat".

Orwell is named after George Orwell, who is most famous for his novel Nineteen Eighty-Four. Her slogan, "Orwell is Watching," is a reference to the Arc Words "Big Brother is Watching You."

During the robbery montage in the pilot, one of the costume sets the gang wears strongly resembles a cross between the nun costumes worn in The Town, mixed with clown attire.
