Mike Myers and Penelope Spheeris argued over the final cut of the film. Myers then blocked Spheeris from directing the 1993 sequel.
Elyse:
It's really good seeing you, Benjamin. You haven't been into Shakey's for so long.
Benjamin:
Well, I've been real busy.
In the Laverne & Shirley scene, Garth puts his right glove on the beer bottle, but in the next shot, it's a left glove.
A brownie recipe is given in the credits.
In the broadcast version, many of the "inappropriate" parts are changed or cut. Some of the more interesting line changes are (see Quotes section for original lines): Wayne: Who's playing today? Tiny: Jolly Green Giants, Stinky Beetles. Wayne: Stinky Beetles? Are they any good? Tiny: They stink! Wayne: I lost my show, I lost my best friend I lost my girl! I'm being dumped on, that's all, dumped on... Garth: Benjamin is no one's friend. If he were an ice cream flavor, he'd be Jamocha Almond Idiot.
