Factual error: This episode reveals that Winston is colorblind, seeing green as brown. But later in the series, Winston becomes a cop, working for the LAPD. This wouldn't have happened because candidates for the LAPD are put through a color blindness test where they are required to quickly and accurately identify colors. Winston would have failed and would not have been allowed to join the LAPD.

Factual error: There is no HDMI plugged in to the TV, which is accurate for there being no input detected when Coach turns it on to watch the game, but Jess cuts a coaxial cable that is plugged directly into the TV. The input should have been on the Live TV/Antenna/Over-the-Air/Channels input if that's how they watch TV. (00:15:29)
Continuity mistake: At the party when Winston and Coach are talking to the two women and Nick walks up, the girl that says it's hot and starts removing her jacket, almost completely off in that shot. But then it cuts and cuts back and her jacket is almost entirely on, and she starts taking it off again.
Continuity mistake: When Schmidt and Nick are having their sweat, Schmidt's towel is around his waist when Winston walks in, then slung over his shoulder in the next shot. (00:02:40)
Chosen answer: Damon Wayons, Jr., who played Coach, took the role because he believed his current show, "Happy Endings" on ABC, was going to be cancelled. When it was renewed, he had to leave the cast of New Girl. He returned later in the series after Happy Endings was actually cancelled.
