* FunnyAneurysmMoment: Ted comes across Creator/RichardWilson while in mainland Ireland, deciding to yell [[Series/OneFootInTheGrave "I don't believe it!"]] at him for a laugh … and then getting beaten up for it, as it turns out Wilson grew to hate the {{catchphrase}}. It's a lot harder to watch now in light of a very similar incident that happened to Creator/DaveChappelle while he was on holiday with his family (someone intruded on the family to shout [[Series/ChappellesShow "I'm Rick James, bitch!")]].

** Ted angrily tells a cop about the good old days, when the police would cover up crimes committed by Catholic priests. The whole thing is PlayedForLaughs, but can come off as somewhat disturbing in light of the massive pedophilia scandal that rocked the church years later.

* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Apparently the idea for the episode was conceived when when Graham Linehan and Arthur Mathews sat behind Wilson at a performance of Le Cirque du Soleil at the Royal Albert Hall. They considered how "tasteless and wrong" it would be to lean forward to him every time that an acrobat did a stunt and yell the catchphrase, and then realised that's exactly what their fictional priests would do.
