Continuity mistake: When Jack sees the glue bottle it turns 180° between shots, check the position of the label. One could argue that both sides have a label, but a shot later the kid is grabbing the glue and there's no label on the side facing the camera.

Continuity mistake: When Bernie is on the toilet, his feet go from wearing socks to no socks.

Trivia: In the scene where the three men are in jail towards the end of the movie, the jailer that comes to let them out (but is stopped by Ben Stiller) actually plays a cop in the Comedy Central show "Reno 9-1-1". In fact, he may even be wearing the exact uniform he wears in the series. Also, the sheriff deputy who comes off the motorhome yelling "Look, he has rubber boobie!" is also a cop on Reno 9-1-1.

Question: How come Gaylord 'admits' to being Jorge's father after being injected with the truth serum? We find out later that Jorge's actual father was the baseball player, so why would Gaylord lie about being the father - especially after being injected with truth serum?.

Answer: Truth serum doesn't automatically make you speak the absolute truth - all it can do is make you say what you believe to be the truth. If Gaylord believed himself to be Jorge's father, then he would say that under the truth serum, even if it ultimately turned out not to be the case.

Tailkinker

Gaylord (Greg) was also drunk when he went on his monologue of spilling "secrets" about others in the room.
