Trivia

The Show

• This is the first episode to feature a cold open since Season 8's "Daletech".

• The episode does not include the theme song over the closing credits, instead playing "Only in America" by Brooks & Dunn. It also does not include a stinger quote.

Behind the Scenes

• Reportedly, this episode was advertised to have Gordon voiced by Canadian actor Colin Mochrie, but at some point was replaced by David Herman. Some sources still cite Mochrie as voicing Gordon.

Memorable Moments

• Gordon notes he's being called away by Maureen's secret signal to leave. We then cut to Maureen and see that the signal is hardly secret with large swinging arm gestures.

Quotes

• Boomhauer: Talkin' about house-swapping with an ol' Canadian family, for, um, eh?

• Dale: House-swap? There's going to be Canadians living here, walking around, touching things for three whole months?!

Bill: You're going to be gone for an absurd amount of time. What if we all make new friends or get remarried? (off the other guys' looks) It could happen. Love is funny.

• Ollie: How tall are you?

Bobby: Four foot eleven.

Ollie: Oh. Right on. That's 150 centimetres.

Bobby: Hey, I sound tall in Canada. I wonder if I'm thinner there, too. Keep talking.

• Peggy: I am telling you, Hank, those Canadians are not who they pretend to be. That woman insulted me and every maple tree in Vermont today.

Hank: Peggy, they're probably not used to dealing with neighbours. Canada is vast. They might go months without seeing another person.

Peggy: Oh, Hank. You're just easily enchanted by anyone in lawnmower apparel. That's why I wore my John Deere beefy-T on our first date.

Hank: No, I'm a good neighbour. That's all. I can handle this. Remember when that old widow couldn't take care of her yard anymore? Who forced her to move? I did.

• Hank: Hey, we're going to watch Super Bowl XIII later. The Broncos' "orange crush" versus the Cowboys' "doomsday defence." Want to pull up a chair?

Gordon: Oh, thanks, but you know, I prefer the fast-paced Canadian three-down system. I mean, American football is a real snoozer, huh? Enjoy your nap, though, eh?

Dale: I'd like to put that chuckle of his in a sandwich and make him eat it.

Hank: He's okay, Dale. That must be how they trash-talk in Canada. With little chuckles.

• Luanne: I'm confused, Aunt Peggy. I feel like we're inside, but I'm pretty sure we're outside.

• Maureen: Yeah, it's a lovely outdoor couch, but I'm starting to get a little rash. Probably all the petrochemicals in the synthetic fabric.

Peggy: Looks like everyone else is doing fine. It might be that your skin isn't used to warm sunlight and friendship.

Maureen: You might be right. Because these bugs don't seem to hate it, either.

(Peggy downs her glass of wine and gestures for more)

Minh: Ooh, all right! It's going to be that kind of party.

• Hank: I can't believe Gordon called the cops on us. He's going to be "sorey" when he sees me today.

Peggy: It's about time you woke up, Hank. Anger is more fun when shared.

• Bobby: Mom, can I have another half litre of OJ, please?

Hank: What?! Bobby, we speak English in this house.

• Gordon: You know, Hank, you really ought to think about getting a McCullum mower. Quiet as a casket. And it won't damage your grass blades. That's what's making your lawn look so brown.

Hank: You talkin' about my grass blades, Canada?

• Lucky: You know, before this, I always drank out of a can. I never knew beer was yellow.
