[edit] Notes about nothing
- Elaine's quote "The dingo ate your baby" is a reference to the film A Cry In The Dark in which an Australian woman, when accused of the murder of her child, claims a dingo ran off with it. The film is based on a true story.
- A dingo is a type of wild dog descended from the Indian Wolf (Canis lupus pallipes) and are found in Australia and Southeast Asia.
- Explaining why he's patting his head to a tedious party guest (he's actually trying to get Elaine's attention) Jerry claims he's on Eldopa, a drug used to treat Parkinson's Disease.
- George Washington Carver (circa spring of 1864 – January 5, 1943), as mentioned by a party guest Elaine talks to, was an African American known for teaching former south american slaves techniques for self-sufficiency and detailing over 300 uses of the peanut to maximise farming profitability. He did not however, come up with the idea for Peanut Butter.
- Jerry's attention grabbing "Pendant? Those bastards!" is a recall of Elaine's Father's exclamation in The Jacket (season 2).
- Jerry states his age is thirty six. This is the only (?) time a principle's age is referenced directly, although they are sometimes referred to as being in their late thirties.
- Kramer tells a fragment of a story about doves referring an incident alluded to but not shown in The Jacket.

- "Maybe the dingo ate your baby" -Elaine
- "The last time a woman said [make love to me] I wound up apologizing to her. That's a lot of pressure ... What am I, in a circus?" - George
