Trivia[]
- Dan was incredibly popular in high school, he made things bearable according to Donna, though he was never aware of this until the end of the episode.
- This is one of the very few episodes to not have a real villain, unless one counts Elise since she was trying to replace Dan as Chris's friend.
- An instrumental cover of 99 Luftballons by Nena can be heard in the background during the first scene in the high school gymnasium.
- The end of the episode plays an instrumental cover of Everybody Wants To Rule The World by Tears For Fears.
- Dan and Chris attended Van Nuys High School, which is a real-life high school in the Van Nuys suburb of Los Angeles. This is indicated by a shirt Chris wears (which says "Van Nuys Owls") in a few previous episodes, such as "Dancing" and "The Fancy Restaurant."
- Elise keeps getting mistaken for someone named "Poodles" even though she never attended that High School.
- None of the alumni (other than Dan) remembers who Chris is.
- Dan says he spent his teenage years constantly ridiculed, then he'd get to school and it was "even worse".
- Chris knows the exact volume in cubic feet of the school gymnasium.
- The list of named people who attended the High School reunion (excluding Chris and Dan) are Jenny Tait, Deborah Peterson, Donna, Vince, Amy, and Carin.
- Donna is the person handing out name tags at the entrance of the High School reunion, Chris' name tag is seen there yet she somehow doesn't know him.
- Chris had eleven classes with Donna, they did a duet in the talent show, and he donated blood to her after her cheerleading mishap.
- The name-tags seen are for Mak, Tara, Tom, Wendy, Amy, Tak, Marry, Lizbeth, James, Matt, Harry, Camille, Jeanette, Brian, Stephanie and Rala.
- Chris had a crush on Carin, president of the Home Ec Club, but Elise stopped Chris from interacting with her out of jealousy.
- Dan can chew his way out of a locker, as he had four years of practice to do so.
- Chris wanted to be the mascot in high school, but Dan stole the suit to save Chris the embarrassment.
- The principal is named "Principal Ferber," but he does not make an appearance.
- In their teenage years, Dan and Chris both had longer hair, and Dan had a lot of acne on his face.
