This marked the very first appearance of Jimmy Labriola on the show, but not as his recurring character of Benny Baroni, who first appears later in this season. Here, Labriola plays the man who delivers a reindeer at Tim's house. His appearance was uncredited.
Tim's "man's bathroom" has a lot of great features, but the writers missed the ultimate "man's bathroom" accessory: a self-lifting toilet seat. It would fall to the writers of How I Met Your Mother to introduce that feature in Barney Stinson's legendary bachelor pad, over 13 years later.
