Trivia
Throughout much of the episode, Abed is wearing a t-shirt with the logo for The Dead Alewives. The Dead Alewives were an improvisational comedy group formed in the 1980s in Milwaukee. Series creator, Dan Harmon, and show director, Rob Schrab, were among the founding members.

Goofs
The "CB radio" the Dean found, which had supposedly been sealed in the computer department since the 1970s, is actually a Motorola XTL5000 digital mobile radio which was introduced in the early 2000s and is not capable of working on U.S. CB frequencies.

Quotes
Abed Nadir: Okay, I'm gonna peel off some Band-Aids here. Dennis Hopper is dead. TV shows give no time for theme songs anymore. And Woody Allen did the voice of a cartoon ant.

ENOUGH WITH THE BLOODY SUBWAY

I love this episode, but the blatant repeated attempts at product placement are so annoying. The finding treasure plot was SO GOOD and I would have rated this episode 9/10.

But it just felt like a really long Subway Advert.

I don't even like sandwiches, but I'll never go to Subway because I'm so sick of it being plastered all over this show. Clearly the directors had lack of funding but they should have just made up a *** sandwich brand and instead capitalised off of selling fan merch. Similar to have the US Office now has loads of t-shirt, mugs and posters etc of Dunder Mifflin
