    • Trivia
      In this episode, Andy is seen wearing a short sleeve button up that is tucked into his pants (similar to how Dwight is always seen). This continues the pattern of Andy mimicking certain parts of his boss's lifestyle in order to gain acceptance.
    • Goofs
      The gun Dwight displays and later carries around the office appears to be a Remington Model 1875, but is identified by Dwight as a Beaumont-Adams. The Beaumont-Adams is a very different looking British service revolver.
    • Quotes

      [Dwight walks into the kitchen as Jim puts up a paper that says "Join The Fist" with a picture of a clenched fist]

      Dwight Schrute: Hey, hey, hey, hey. What do you think you're doing? What's this? What's The Fist?

      Jim Halpert: It's just a social club. Like the French Revolution or The Black Panthers or communism. It's just a club. Guys talking.

      Dwight Schrute: You expect me to believe that you're starting a rebellion?

      Jim Halpert: Nope, social club. God, I hate when everybody calls us a rebellion.

      [Darryl walks into the kitchen. Jim puts his fist up and Darryl does it back]

      Dwight Schrute: Okay, you know what? I would love to join The Fist.

      Jim Halpert: And we would love to have you, but not today. Unfortunately, it's a bad day, what with Operation Overthrow and everything.
