Trivia
- Weekly World News, the newspaper found in the Trickster's locker is an actual newspaper! The Weekly World News website featured an article on this episode, whilst the newspaper itself scored an exclusive interview with the Winchester boys.
- BustyAsianBeauties.com, the website that Sam's laptop freezes on, redirects to the WB website.
- A purple nurple contains coconut rum, triple sec, blue curacao and cranberry juice.
- The episode has drawn many comparisons with an episode of The X-Files called 'Bad Blood'. John Shiban, the writer of 'Tall Tales', was a co-producer on 'Bad Blood'.
- After our intrepid trio believe they have killed the Trickster, the bed and disco lights are still clearly visible on the lecturing platform. This is a clear indication that the Trickster is actually not dead.
- Neil Grayston, who played the fraternity pledge Sam and Dean talked to about Curtis, also has a recurring role as Fargo on Eureka, the Sci-Fi programme which shoots in Vancouver. He is not the only Eureka cast member to have popped up in Supernatural, as episode 2.12: Nightshifter features Chris Gauthier as Ronald Reznick. Chris plays cafe owner, Vincent in Eureka.
