    Storyline

    • Trivia
      This episode contains many meta references to the Primetime Emmy Awards. The banter at the bar that wins all the awards is a parody of multi-camera sitcoms that take the comedy categories of the Emmys by storm every year. Frank also makes reference to dramas that get all the awards when he says of a new bar "there aren't a lot of people there, but there's a lot of period costumes."
    • Goofs
      When Frank opens the suitcase and gets hit with the ink, Charlie can be heard laughing even when it shows his face and he's sitting still.
    • Quotes

      Mac: Hi, I'm Mac. Welcome to Paddy's Pub. I like to recommend to our first timers our signature cocktail, Caribbean Paradise. Some people say it's better than busting a nut.

      Customer: Excuse me?

      Mac: Busting a nut. It's like, uh, you know, blowing your load.

      Dennis Reynolds: Oh...

      Mac: He said it was a funny joke.

      Dennis Reynolds: Well, no... hold on.

      Mac: Yeah, it's like coming all over you. It's light, it's playful.

      Dennis Reynolds: Yeah, well, no, I think what my friend is trying to refer to is an orgasm, which is light and playful, but he overstepped himself and got a little bit too specific.

      Mac: Sorry, we jizz in the drink and that's what makes it light.

      Dennis Reynolds: No, no, nobody's jizzing on anything.

      Mac: Well, where do I jizz?

      Dennis Reynolds: You don't jizz.

      Mac: How can, how can I orgasm if I don't jizz?

      Dennis Reynolds: No, ma'am, I think what...

      Mac: Just tell me where I jizz so I can give this lady her drink.

      Dennis Reynolds: Ma'am, what would you like to drink? And we won't jizz on anything.

      Dee Reynolds: Not like Mac's ever had an orgasm.

      Dennis Reynolds: Holy shit, you're late.
