- TriviaThis is the first appearance of Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Elaine. Although this is the second episode to air, it was the third episode to be produced. It was decided that it should air second because it provided background information about Elaine and her relationship with Jerry (Jerry Seinfeld).
- GoofsThis episode was released in 1990, but in the scene after the birthday party right before Elaine and Jerry are in the taxi going home, Times Square is shown as the transition. You can see the films The Bodyguard, Malcolm X, and Passenger 57 displayed on the cinema board. All of these movies were from 1992. How can three movies released in 1992 be displayed on TV episode released in 1990? Must have something to do with syndication.
- Alternate versionsWhen the episode was first rerun on December 2, 1992, it included a special introductory segment with Seinfeld and Louis-Dreyfus and Seinfeld stating that this is the first episode that they did together. (Although "Male Unbonding" was actually the first episode filmed with Louis-Dreyfus.) This segment can be seen on the DVD release.

JERRY's monologue: There's something about a cheque that, to a man, is not masculine. I don't know exactly what it is... I think to a man, a cheque is like a note from your mother that says ''I don't have any money, but if you'll contact these people, I'm sure they'll stick up for me... If you just trust me this one time I don't have any money but I have these... I wrote on these; is this of any value at all?'' _______________________
JERRY: (To Vanessa) So, you're a lawyer... VANESSA: Sagman, Bennet, Robbins, Oppenheim and Taft. JERRY: (To himself, quickly) Sagman, Bennet, Robbins, Oppenheim and Taft. Sagman, Bennet, Robbins, Oppenheim and Taft...

JERRY: "Quone"? No, I'm afraid that I'm going to have to challenge that. HELEN: ...32... KRAMER: No, you don't have to challenge that. That's a word. That's a *definite* word. JERRY: I am challenging... KRAMER: Quone: to quone something.
