The canoe that Ron Swanson rides in "lucky boy" was actually crafted by Nick Offerman himself, for YouTube maker and TV show host Jimmy Diresta.
The original producer's cut of this episode included a future storyline for Councilman Jamm and Shauna Malwae-Tweep (which included Bobby Newport).
One idea for the finale was that the show would reveal how each character would eventually die. Chris Pratt actually pitched potential deaths for Andy and April, with Andy dying from being locked inside a hot car like a dog, and April dying from a broken heart shortly after. The entire death angle was eventually scrapped as it was deemed too dark for the show.
In the 2025 party scene, you can hear Andy's song "5000 Candles in the Wind".
