* {{Corpsing}}: Spike, lying on Giles's sofa eating biscuits, hears Anya complain that Xander "[doesn't] care about me, you just care about lots of orgasms!", causing James Marsters to struggle to hide a smile. When he sits up to look over the back of the sofa, he's not smiling, so it wasn't an intended expression.

* EnforcedMethodActing: Due to the SelfImposedChallenge of an episode without dialog. Normally, when recording film or television, a ''huge'' amount of the work for when to hit a mark or a physical beat is dictated by dialog. You know where you need to be, what to do, and what to say because it's all coordinated using the scripted dialog. Without that, the actors had to learn the acting equivalent of sign language. On set. While making it up as they went. A lot of early takes had to be discarded because, to paraphrase Whedon, "Everyone did everything at the same time". As you can tell by popular and critical reception, they fucking nailed it.

* SerendipityWritesThePlot: The episode's gimmick came about when Joss Whedon heard that the dialogue was the most praised part of the show. So he opted to an episode without any.

* {{Blooper}}:
** As everyone is taking their seat for Giles's projector presentation, Anya walks to a seat and pulls it down to sit. She has nothing in her hands, and there is nothing on the seat, yet after she sits down as the camera angle changes, she is suddenly holding a bag of microwave popcorn.
** At the end of the scene where Buffy and Riley are fighting the Henchmen, Buffy throws one of them into free standing metal shelving against a wall, knocking it and its contents on the floor. At the start of the next scene, the shelving and its contents are still standing as though nothing happened.
** As Spike takes the "Kiss the Librarian" mug out of the refrigerator, it's full of blood almost to the top of the rim. Just before drinking from the mug, Spike tilts it toward him at an angle that should cause blood to spill onto the floor, but no blood pours out as the blood level in the mug is suddenly lower.
