Quotes
Leslie: Elaine, who catered this, Sears?
Bill: My name is Bill. I might be the last person you ever see.
Kramer: Man, it's the nineties...it's Hammer time!
Jerry: Red shirt! Red shirt! That's the red shirt!
Jerry: Sometimes the road less travelled is less travelled for a reason.

Notes and Trivia
The opening stand up piece in this episode by Jerry about "Men hunt and women nest" is used again in an actual show Jerry was shown to do in S05E20 "The Fire".
Christine Dunford who plays "Leslie" the woman for whom the baby shower is given, later plays the haughty "Saleswoman" in "The Pie". People might not have noticed, as she is a brunette in Season 2 and a blonde in season 5.
Bosco, the chocolate that stained George's sweater, is his ATM password in a later episode.
Kramer refers to the cable guy as "the Sakharov of cable guys". Of course, Andrei Sakharov was a genius Russian scientist who spent his life designing nuclear weapons for Russia.
Goofs
When Kramer enters Jerry's apartment during the baby shower and Elaine asks him Who's this guy, the camera cuts to another angle and you see Kramer in the background talking, but the audio is of Elaine speaking, not Kramer.
