Trivia
This episode is an extended critique of (allegedly) brainless people in American politics. The script mentions a number of Republicans of the early 1990s. Marshall and Simon find a "Bush/Quayle 88" bumper sticker in a homeless man's shopping cart, prompting Marshall to quip, "Well, at least we know he's not a liberal." Later, we hear that Eunice Danforth once negotiated a multi-million-dollar plot orchestrated by Ed Meese to steal the 1980 election "by pumping MacGyver's brain into Ronald Reagan, thereby quadrupling his IQ."

Edgar Teller: Now come on. I've heard rumors he was Eerie's last living Liberal, but...
Simon Holmes: What's a Liberal?
Edgar Teller: [suddenly uncomfortable] I'll explain it to you when you're older.
Marilyn Teller: Well, I don't care if he's a Liberal or an axe murderer, I want you two boys to stay clear of him, understood?
Marshall Teller: Yes, Mom.
